On Wednesday’s edition of New Day, hosts Alisyn Camerota and John Berman spent a large amount of the program analyzing the ongoing NATO summit. Some of the coverage descended into silliness and absurdity, including two moments when Berman carefully dissected Chief of Staff John Kelly’s hydration habits.
In the first hour, Berman brought up Kelly’s demeanor in a clip where President Trump was criticizing Germany for its energy dependence on Russia. In the clip, Kelly takes a sip of water, adjusts himself in is seat, and scratches his ear. According to Berman and CNN Senior Political Analyst, John Avlon, this was a sign of extreme discomfort with the situation:
BERMAN: So you see, John Kelly There, you see Mike Pompeo both siting their stoically, Kate Bailey Hutchinson, I’m not sure they’re down with this whole thing.
JOHN AVLON: Stoically? Yeah I mean look, John Kelly was one shot away from a spit take and a face palm.
Berman found this clip so compelling, he brought it up again during the second hour. Berman echoed his analysis from the first hour with Camerota, joking that Kelly was drinking vodka:
BERMAN: I want you to look at their faces, and look at how many drinks of water --
ALISYN CAMEROTA: That’s vodka.
BERMAN: -- the Chief of Staff needs --
CAMEROTA: That’s vodka.
BERMAN: -- while the President is talking about this.
TRUMP: you tell me if that's appropriate, because I think it's not. And I think it's a very bad thing for NATO.
BERMAN: You see, John Kelly there you know, shrugging --
CAMEROTA: I like a good body language segment.
BERMAN: Looked away he’s like “Oh boy here we go again.” You know, you get the sense that they were not comfortable with the president's views on this alliance.
Berman clearly demonstrated that his eagerness to find anything negative to say about the Trump administration extends to things as small as John Kelly having the gall to take a sip of water during breakfast. The silliness of this coverage is best suited for tabloid papers not “the most trusted name in news.”
CNN, MSNBC, NY Times, et al, know they are so screwed, come the November elections.
Nope, they don't "think", they "feel".
More proof of racism!
In a sane world that is called ‘lying’................
Good heavens, what if he sneezed????????..........
In North Korea they execute you with artillery fire if you make the mistake of looking at your watch during a meeting with the Dear Leader.
They can’t even get Kay Bailey Hutchinson’s name right..........
I would not wear a watch....................
They should send more investigative reporters and check to see what he ate before and after the summit. It might mean something that they could analyze.
This is what passes(?) for ‘news’ and ‘intelligent commentary’ nowadays....................
[ ALISYN CAMEROTA: That’s vodka.
BERMAN: — the Chief of Staff needs —
CAMEROTA: That’s vodka. ]
Yes, keep pushing the “Russia” thing you liberal skank. No doubt it works on your idiot followers.

Also, get doped up on speed and inject botox in your cheeks before Dear Leader meetings. You do not want to fall asleep, frown or otherwise appear bored or disinterested.
Yeah, I was thinking he meant Alt-Left....
I would superglue my eyelids.................
Have your eyelids tattooed to look like open eyeballs just in case. And NEVER blink.
lol..
Leftists now defend EU countries who are paying billions upon billions per year to Russia, Russia, Russia.
There is only one consistency in leftist policy. It’s ALWAYS anti-American.
At one point Stoltenberg pulled the napkin out of his lap and wiped his mouth to signal he was 'done', even though he'd had nothing to eat.
