Tasteless CNN Debases Itself by Blasting Kelly for Emotional WH Remarks

Just when you thought CNN couldn’t cheapen itself any further. On Thursday, CNN Newsroom reacted to a powerful White House statement Chief of Staff and Gen. John Kelly (Ret.) amidst the Gold Star families controversy by noting Kelly’s personal sacrifices before lambasting him for calling out a Democratic member of Congress and attacking the media.

Right off the bat, CNN Political Director David Chalian noted that “it's hard to listen to a father tell that story and not have sympathy” before declaring that Kelly’s emotions must be separated “from the White House chief of staff going into the press briefing room to clearly try and attempt to clean up a political mess that, quite frankly, his boss largely created.”

“[B]ecause John Kelly wouldn't be part of this story and wouldn't feel the need to go to the press and address this and we wouldn't have a ton of questions if it were not for his boss who injected him into this entire episode this week,” Chalian added.

That’s the thing with CNN. Network personalities might accurately claim that something isn’t political, but then disqualify themselves by going political and making any segment into an anti-Trump tirade.

Today I was driving South to North Carolina, and had my Sirius radio tuned to FOX BUSINESS NEWS... and heard the entire Gen, John Kelly explanation of what transpired and what happens Militarily when a member of the service is killed..

I had tears running down my old face, and silently THANKED GOD FOR THE MAN, WHO SERVED THIS NATION ALL HIS ADULT LIFE, AND IS STILL SERVING IN THE WHITE HOUSE.

After his speech ended, I though , well I hope this will close this event the media and a Congress person created for ‘ANOTHER HIT ON THE POTUS’. THAT SEEMS TO BE THE DAILY IDEA THE MEDIA HAS ALL THE TIME...DESTROY TRUMP...
As for this Cow boy hat congress person, hopefully the voters in Florida will have had enough of the old gal, put her on her horse and send her back to the ranch she must have escaped from, or rather the looney bin she broke out of.

Agree. Sadly though, Frederica is elected from the Miami area so her seat is safe. And yes, I had tears in my eyes as I watched Gen Kelly yesterday. And unbelievably, Big Media doubled down on their lack of class by ridiculing him. I hope the Republicans win everything next November.......but I suspect Big Media STILL wouldn’t get it!
