CNN Stirs Up GOP Feud While Ignoring Looming Dem Disaster in Midterms
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 01/12/2022 10:44:03 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On Wednesday's CNN New Day, co-host John Berman was beside himself with joy as he repeatedly suggested that Donald Trump accused Florida Governor Ron DeSantis of being "gutless." Meanwhile, signs of significant Democratic losses in the upcoming midterm elections were ignored.

Berman's unbridled glee came during a segment during which he played a clip of Trump calling some politicians "gutless" for declining to say whether they've had a booster shot. That was followed by a clip of DeSantis being rather careful with his response to a forthright question from Maria Bartiromo as to whether he's had the booster.

After CNN reporter Steve Contorno called DeSantis' Florida State of the State address a "national political speech," Berman ran with it, his voice filled with excitement as he suggested that Trump was targeting DeSantis with his "gutless" accusation.

CNN would rather try to stir up bad blood among Republicans than face the looming Democrat 2022 disaster.

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Did they cover the Stacy abrams snub?

I agree they are gutless. Whether to get a booster shot is a personal decision. I don’t see any reason anyone would care if you got one or not.

Seems natural for them to go this route

They have zip to lose

Well, actually it isn’t anyone’s business. If you don’t wish to share, that’s fine. NEED TO KNOW basis.

Democrats have absolutely nothing to worry about.

If a Democratic voter would vote for Joe Biden that voter would vote for any person breathing with a dash D after his or her name.

It is the RINOs that need worry. Worry! More! Try Harder!

To be clear, President Trump was accusing some politicians of being gutless for refusing to say if they’ve had a booster shot.

They are part of the propaganda arm of the ‘rat party. It’s what they do.

Manchin voted to hand about about $5,500 per American.

That’s a lot of vote-buying wampum.

Could the moochers show a little gratitude please!

We will get plenty of people on this forum who will buy right into it.

Somebody seems to be operating under the assumption that we will have “honest, free and clear” elections in November.

I have new for y’all.

There will not be any such thing.

The “GOP Feud” is really a feud between RINOs and Republicans.

Trump calling some politicians “gutless” = Trump calling DeSantis gutless.

Only the feces clogged toilet know as CNN makes that jump.

It would really help to drain the swamp if Trump would stop endorsing swamp monsters.

In November 2021, Americans gave Biden a negative 36 - 53 percent job approval rating

Then Biden made a rousing speech about those horrid J6 people “threatening democracy.”

Et voila..... today Biden has an even LOWER negative 33 - 53 percent job approval rating,
