CNN faced backlash from opponents of former President Donald Trump for hosting him in a town hall on the network Wednesday, charging that they gave him a stage.
“CNN should be ashamed of themselves,” lamented socialist Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY). “They have lost total control of this ‘town hall’ to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim. The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host.”
“This is an irresponsible disaster of journalism. We have absolutely learned nothing,” said Matt Fuller of the Daily Beast.
“This is really not going how CNN must have thought or hoped it would go,” said Yahoo News senior correspondent Michael Weiss. “He is steamrolling, getting laughs for his crassest comments, and seems far more self-assured and confident than someone this deep in the soup should be.”

​

Commentary:
It is hilarious that their argument essentially boils down to them needing Trump silenced because he is so good at pointing out how terrible they are.
I guess their idea of a "Town Hall" is Trump just sits there and isn't allowed to talk while she screams at him for an hour?
Who is going to watch that and who would subject themselves to it?
The fact that talking heads of CNN and Maoist Democrats were so triggered tells me Trump was over target. These clowns are so dishonest to the point of criminal insanity.
CNN sponsored the "Town Hall" knowing Trump would help their ratings. What They didn’t count on was DJT schooling that witch Collins. She thought she was going to get the better of him. Not even close.
I think that President Trump's mental acuity compared to that of President Biden's was on full display tonight, is front and center well above and beyond old Joe.

Triggered, they are. Imagine giving a candidate for president a chance to speak, because they can't and still insist they are Americans.

For those trying to claim Trump did not OWN CNN during CNN's own Town Hall are ignoring their own hand-picked audience's reactions and the fact that CNN cut their scheduled Town Hall 25 minutes short to stop their humiliation.

CNN will NEVER allow Trump back on their station after this.

AOC publicly admitted and criticized CNN

Notably, AOC did not call the moderator a "whore".....as did poste Please Quit (twice).
I regret if my post was unclear to poster 'easyt65'.
Such misogynistic statements seem to be most trafficked by Trump supporters.
For example, Trump himself after just being found $5,000,000 liable for sexual assault and defamation ....called the very victim of his assault "a whack job"....on live TV.
Wouldn't it be fun again.....to see her sue him again?

I dIdn't say she did, troll, but thanks for attempting - and FAILING - to distract from.the fact I correctly pointed out.

Ratings game?

They are either lying or stooooopid. The election wasn't stolen. Anyone who doesn't believe that is just wrong.

2020 wasn’t a normal election. In fact, most people think the election was rigged and / or stolen. They just won’t admit it openly. Even the most rabid, radical Leftist Trump hating Dems think so, but don’t care and definitely won’t say it.

 

[tahuyaman]

The audience that garbage that Trump was spewing was a disgrace.

Well then you should be happy CNN did that Town Hall so more people heard the things he stands for.

Im sure you actually believe that is true. You poor brainwashed goober.

 

[Roudy]

Im sure you actually believe that is true. You poor brainwashed goober.

Even you believe it. You went to bed with Trump having a huge lead in many states and woke up seeing the leads either gone or Trump behind. You have to be a fool to think it was a kosher election. Especially from the Left that has cheated in every single major election. They have even screwed their own.

 

[BULLDOG]

Even you believe it. You went to bed with Trump having a huge lead in many states and woke up seeing the leads either gone or Trump behind.

Sure, but I also know that when trump was in the lead, they hadnt started to count the mail in votes yet. Perhaps trump shouldn't have told his supporters to not mail in their votes.

 

[Superbadbrutha]

What would that be? Lies.

 

[Roudy]

…therefore, when America adopts for the first time a mail in voting system of this magnitude, that many Western countries have outlawed because dictators and authoritarian regimes have used it to fraudulently retain power by force, others have every right to question its legitimacy.

But again, it doesn’t matter to the Left and Democrats, because destruction of America and what it stands for is their stated goal.

I watched the CNN Town Hall with Donald Trump and CNN's coverage last night and what I found most alarming about it, and this is really significant because as I have written before I think Donald Trump should never ever be given the Presidency because he would be dangerous beyond words in that capacity because of his character trait of putting his interests over the American people's interest and they even trumped Trump being vintage Trump last night, but what I found most alarming about it is the media and the many media professionals appearing on CNN "bias" in their coverage of Donald Trump it really subverts the media's job of being an asset to our country's Democracy and to help the country select the best candidates and implement the best public policy for our people. These CNN media professionals live in their own world and they don't allot for the consideration that many other people live in a different world and it is very fair and legitimate for these people to live in that world.




These media people have to stop with this labeling of people that believe the 2020 election was fraudulent are liars. It doesn't matter that the Trump team had fifty plus lawsuits claiming fraud and lost them all. Election laws in some states were changed for mail in balloting, in some voting districts nonconforming ballots were allowed to be cured in others not and the whole concept of mail in balloting without a compelling reason like for health reason, age or absent from the voting district area open up the door to ballot harvesting where some voters are subject to pressure to vote the way the harvester wishes. And the media with this viewpoint that if certain members of the administration or a party believe there was no fraud that such is somehow objective truth and for others to think otherwise means they are lying is preposterous people are entitled to their own viewpoint their own conscience.




The media with this attitude that their viewpoint somehow gains gospel status is garbage and it really needs to go away in our society. The media with their viewpoint that just because E. Jean Carroll won her civil case, Donald Trump should be labeled a rapist, a moral depraved sexual predator who is then ineligible to be elected President on character grounds. These media types need to allow for other legitimate viewpoints here like assuming everything Ms. Carroll said was true about the incident there was problems with her behavior that day she exercised outstanding bad judgement engaging in a daring contest with Mr. Trump to try on a see thru outfit then going into a fitting room that has a door with Mr. Trump you being a very attractive women and knowing Mr. Trump's reputation as a womanizer it doesn't justify his sexual aggression or him being held liable to the law over it but it does justify that he not be condemned over it Ms. Carroll's irresponsible behavior provided the proximate cause for the sexual assault. And the media condemnation of Trump over his denial of the sexual assault and this is also a criticism of the NY defamation law in question but penalizing someone for denying perpetrating a crime no matter how verbally aggressive calling a person a nut job or opportunist or the like should be considered a violation of a person's civil rights a person should always be free to exercise speech denying he or she perpetrated a crime.




All this media bias where they demand everyone live in their world really undermines the media's performing their role in examining candidates and their policy positions. Kaitlin Collins did a great job last night she was excellent in trying to get Trump to answer important issues and not ignore or distort the truth; but she conducted herself like any of the cable network big star hosts would have performed where they spend so much time holding up their interviewee to the standards of their world like that is the only legitimate world. She spent so much time on issues like the stupid 2020 election and the E. Jean Carroll case she didn't spend time delving into Trump's scary public policy positions. Like him saying the Republican House should not veer off don't raise the debt ceiling drive forward drive to the point where the nation defaults then the Democrats will give you your five billion dollar spending cuts. She should have asked Mr. Trump does he understand that if the Treasury department doesn't pay the interest and principal payments on a Treasury bond when it becomes due America will be in technical default and if the credit rating agencies have any credibility at all they would have to downgrade the credit rating of Treasury bonds and notes below AAA which would cause a massive selling of Treasury bonds because many holders of such bonds only hold them because of their triple AAA credit rating which they are contractually require to honor and since the U.S. is at its debt ceiling and is unable to pay all its bills the numbers of Treasury bond buyers in the market would be low causing Treasury bond prices to drop and this would cause contagion in other bond and financial markets causing them to drop this would cause layoffs and a drop off in capital spending. She should have asked him does he really think that the many extremely reputable and talented economist who have said that defaulting on America's treasury bonds and notes would have catastrophic economic effects are wrong. Furthermore does he really seriously think that after the Republicans cause a Treasury debt default and the subsequent dramatic economic harm the Democrats are going to then give the Democrats five trillion dollars in spending cuts, the U.S. government will be a desperately needed employer and driver of employment at that point Democrats are never going to at that point agree to such cuts. Plus at that point Medicaid costs Food Stamps costs TANF costs, etc. are all going to dramatically increase and the Federal p
government will have to do stimulus packages, the Republicans will be responsible for making the national debt dramatically worse!




There is so many relevant policy issues that should have been explored during this Town Hall with Trump to demonstrate he is a disaster beyond words waiting to happen if he is given the Presidency. Trump said during the Town Hall that he would negotiate a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine within twenty-four hours of becoming President and he could do that because of the weaknesses of both Zelensky and Putin. Kaitlin should have asked him what did he mean by Zelensky's weakness was he referring to that fact Zelensky needs ammunition from America to keep the Russian Army at bay would Trump really stop the shipment of things like 155 mm shells which the Ukraine military uses in their howitzers to stop the advance of the Russian Army. Does Trump acknowledge that Putin has made clear his territorial goals he not only wants to reconstitute the old Soviet Union but he wants to reestablish a Russian empire which will take more of Europe than the Soviet Union did. Does Trump acknowledge what America's best retired Generals have said publicly which is that Putin with his current army cannot win the war against Ukraine Putin in order to achieve this goal will have to rebuild his army which at the earliest will take the better part of a decade. So within this time frame if Ukraine is given the appropriate arms and sustained military assistance it could win this war against Russia and if Ukraine wins this war it will build up its military power sufficient enough to be a defacto impenetrable security barrier against the Russian Army invading NATO through Ukraine. Trump said that the US has given $170 billion dollars to Ukraine and European countries have given $20 billion during this Ukrainian War; those numbers don't sound right to me I thought the figure for the U.S. was like $47 billion and Trump's comments don't understand leadership, diplomacy and the complete picture. Leadership doesn't mean you act like a bookkeeper and say I am only giving as much as so and so or this group or that group. Doesn't Trump understand that outside of Germany most of the European countries aren't in great economic shape and Germany has a problem where during World War II the German Army killed hundreds of thousands of Russians Germany has to be careful not to rally the Russian people to support the Ukrainian war as this war being a repeat of the one in the nineteen thirties and forties. When 9-11 occurred and America was looking for allies to go into Afghanistan and remove the Taliban from power European countries helped America they weren't being super self centered; any prudent and fair assessment would conclude that Europe with respect to the Ukrainian war has been great allies to America the alliance is working well there is no need for whining rather praise is in order!

There's a pattern of sexual assault over the years. 19 women have accused Trump of forcibly groping their privates and/or kissing them.

@JimofPennsylvan​

If the congress does not raise the debt limit it will not mean doomsday as you suggest

Biden will be forced to accept spending cuts that are badly needed

"...the Left and Democrats, because destruction of America and what it stands for is their stated goal."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
OK, this is well-plowed ground. Over and over again.
So what is left, good poster Roudy?

Well, this is what is left: Prove it. Or quit the whiney snowflakism.
Do something about it other than ineffectively and weakly complain about it on an online chatroom....and doing it anonymously using a fake name.
Jeeezus, man....Be a stand-up citizen, a git-er-done American that demonstrate to the forum an ability to make things happen.
Don't wallow in Snowflakery. Quit your chronic complaining. Don't pout.

It is unmanly.

Good luck.

Quit whining. some states have used all mail in ballots for years with no problem.

 

[Tumblin Tumbleweed]

Nobody cares what you think.

He's right.

 

[Roudy]

Quit whining. some states have used all mail in ballots for years with no problem.

Democrats used the pandemic to impose a mass mail in ballot system of voting in 2020. Literally the most worst fraud ridden method of voting was used by large swath of the country. Like good little authoritarian con artists, they don’t want anybody to question or look into what happened.
