CNN abruptly ends live interview after Trump spokesperson criticizes network
Karoline Leavitt bashes ‘biased coverage’ and predicts ‘hostile environment’ for Trump at Thursday’s debate
You're viewing a single thread.
Leavitt, however, refused to be deflected. “Well, first of all, it would take someone five minutes to Google ‘Jake Tapper Donald Trump’ to see Jake Tapper has consistently …” she began, before Hunt cut her off.
“Ma’am, we’re going to stop this interview if you’re going to keep attacking my colleagues,” Hunt said.
The two then talked over each other, with Leavitt appearing to relish the exchange by grinning broadly. As Hunt repeated her threats to end the interview, Leavitt said: “I am stating facts that your colleagues have stated in the past …”
At that point, Hunt ended the exchange, waving her hand in an apparent signal that Leavitt should be taken off air. “OK, I’m sorry, guys – we’re going to come back out to the panel,” Hunt said.
No one is confused about what is going on here. Only CNN is unable to acknowledge what a goddamned disaster it is for this country that this sonofabitch demented orange rapist is not only not in fucking prison, but is owning the shit out of the entire republiQan cult - taking all their money and running the most batshit unqualified sycophants he can apparently find nationwide.
And CNN helped him every fucking step of the way.
Live by the Mango, die by the Mango.
No love for CNN here, but that was the right move this time. One hopes it's the fresh start they needed.
(Also? One despairs that, at long last, this is that fresh start that won't be.)
Anchor made it clear: guests can come on and talk about Trump.
The problem for this guest is that her job is to defend Trump and Trump is indefensible. All they have is to attack everyone else.
She's grinning the whole time. Her squad is the dumb fuck gullible moron squad, smiling because she's too stupid to even realize how stupid she sounds.
The Trump town hall they hosted was the last straw for me.
