Was there really evidence that CNN planted this guy?
one of 2 things had to happen:
1) CNN planted the guy
2) CNN vets no one and that's a huge issue for a panel like this
take your pick.
Well there is no evidence that they planted the guy so it’s likely something like you number 2 example. So this thread is as fake as it is accusing CNN of being given the OPs video headline is accusing CNN of planting a panelist. Agreed?
fair point. so let's do some digging.
from the interview:
CAMEROTA: Jeremy, what do you regret about your vote?
MONTANEZ:
In my mind and the way I look at [Trump] now, I think he’s a monster. I think he’s a bigot. I think that he’s doing a lot of things to ruin people’s lives. Um, I don’t think that he ha-
-- I think that he’s taking this country in the wrong direction and it’s a terrifying time for me.
CAMEROTA: Was there a moment that turned you?
MONTANEZ: It was when I heard about what was going on on the Southern border.
CAMEROTA: What part did you object to?
MONTANTEZ: Uh,
the family separation, and the children in cages.

any and all cages that were pictured were during obamas term. why did CNN not correct this?

'This is who we are': The US has a history of putting families in cages, and it didn't start with Trump
we have no pics of trump puttings kids in cages. we have no pics of trump separating families, only the time "representative" shot where the mother was photoshopped out of the pic when in the real world she was about a foot away. so for CNN to not correct this "person" is contributing to fake news. otherwise, show me documented proof trump put kids in cages. we've got it for obama but that no one seems to care about.
those "we can you can't" scenarios sure do get frustrating.
later he says:
“Why do I believe he’s racist?
Look what happened in Puerto Rico.[Trump] said: oh, they want to just, uh, cry and, you know -- they needed help.
Just because they’re not white-skinned, he doesn’t want to go down there and help them out?”
this is an opinion to be sure. trump did go help puerto rico.
Terms of Service Violation
much like "the children" puerto rico was used as a tool against trump and the usual suspects of media outlets all hung tough to say trump failed in this. but bloomberg of all sites interviewed someone who did this for a long time and he says trump didn't screw this up. so we're again hitting an area the press WANTS you to believe - that trump screwed up. where is the objective reporting as this article wasn't easy to find among the "slate" and VOX/CNN articles designed to make trump seem like he did. if this isn't "fake" or working to tell people what to think, then yes we would seriously disagree there.
so back to what jeremy said - that people were not helped because trump was racist - where is the proof this was the reason? you want proof CNN knew he was a trump hater, great. fair call in this discussion. my guess would be its next to the proof that trump is racist.
now - when did puerto rico and the mexican border happen? he says he only started regretting his decision about trump when the families were being separated but yet, look at the racism he's accused of in PR - how much BEFORE the taken kids did this happen?
CNN is letting him use each and every liberal talking about to reinforce them - it would seem. otherwise any credible "news" agent would stop the speculation and accusations, yet CNN never did.
so good question about "isn't the OP fake news" then and maybe. but it still means that CNN knew and didn't care, or found out later and still don't care cause they've yet to retract a thing or correct him on his talking points.
