The crowd also reportedly broke into chants of “CNN sucks.”
One woman, later identified as Maria Rojas, was seen berating Acosta as he stood behind a designated area for reporters.
Sitting next to @Acosta is the … ahem … "best" seat in the house. Frequent chanting of "@CNN sucks," "Go home, Jim," after which many have then asked for selfies and autographs. 🤷♀️😂 #SCGov pic.twitter.com/lo76znlmvi

Here’s some video of a woman berating @Acosta. This went on for several minutes as many in the crowd cheered her on. As someone who’s covered my share of Trump rallies, it feels like 2016 all over again. pic.twitter.com/j0SF2nFDvG
