That kind of psychoanalysis reminds me of when I was a kid on the playground, where kids’ insults to other kids would devolve into calling their moms all kinds of names, and where the insult of the day was almost always “your mom wears army boots”.
The kids on CNN are no smarter and no more mature than those elementary school kids.
“your mom wears army boots”.
“Your mom looks like she got whupped by the ugly stick!”
