CNN Mocks Trump for Eating Omelet During Border Emergency

To prove that there's a border emergency, President Trump must stop eating omelets! Ridiculous, you might say. And yet, on this morning's New Day, CNN's John Avlon, Alisyn Camerota and Jeff Toobin mocked President Trump for eating an omelet, somehow suggesting it debunks the existence of an emergency.

After displaying a photo of Trump at a Mar-a-Lago omelet bar, the trio engaged in this banter:

JOHN AVLON: While 'emergency' is not defined in this statute, the dictionary definition of emergency certainly doesn't fit this. And this weekend, he's at Mar-a-Lago at the omelet bar, also not exactly communicating urgency.

CAMEROTA: Nothing says rapid and fast like an omelet bar.

JEFFREY TOOBIN: They cook fast.

AVLON: Presumably for the President.

“Next on CNN: could eating an omelet constitute a high crime and misdemeanor?”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

Breaking eggs is obviously an impeachable offense. Does CNN really want to be a caricature of itself?

[FrdmLvr]

What a-holes.

[Clutch Martin]

I suppose CNN would appreciate it more if the president would eat an MRE instead.

Perhaps not being a vegan is a crime?

Breakfast is racist.

Did he put ketchup on it?

House to investigate president’s diet. Impeachment to follow.

They’re mad because he regularly eats their lunch

When I was a kid I remember watching pre-coverage of the moon landing.

NBC had their camera fixated on a garage door of one of the astronauts. It was slightly open, about 6 inches, probably because the cat could go in and out at its leisure.

The reporters on the scene kept wondering what a slightly open garage door could possibly mean.

My mom had enough and said: "That is why they are known as Nitpickers Broadcasting Corporation."

Did he put ketchup on it?

Talk about ankle biters.

[gunsequalfreedom]

Thousands of 20-something-males swarming and breaching the border is not an emergency?

[outpostinmass2]

I wonder what FDR ate for breakfast during the Pearl Harbor attack? What was for lunch at the White House on D-Day? Heck, Churchill ate three squares every day in a bunker during the Battle of Britain.

Maxine Waters has demanded that this photo be placed into the record as evidence of President Trump having committed a high crime and misdemeanor.

[Lean-Right]

Yes, if PETA had their way.

[Fiddlstix]

[Buckeye McFrog]

So what is he SUPPOSED to eat during a national emergency?
A vegan MRE?

Maybe homo sapiens is undergoing an evolutionary bifurcation, and what we know as 'liberals' are simply the genetic left-behinds, squirming in a little muddy pool they believe to be the universe.
