Tim Burchett and CNN’s Jim Acosta throw down fiery exchange over Jan. 6 pardons

CNN anchor Jim Acosta and Rep. Tim Burchett had a heated debate over President Donald Trump's pardons for January 6 defendants, which went viral on social media.

The exchange lasted nearly 10 minutes, with Acosta and Burchett clashing over the treatment of January 6 defendants and broader issues of political outrage in media.
