'Hope They're Not Looting The Place': CNN Smears Trump Aide with Lincoln Bust

Talk about kicking people on their way, literally, out the door . . .

CNN's nasty little parting gift for members of President Trump's White House staff was to suggest they might be thieves. On this morning's New Day, as footage rolled of an aide carrying a Lincoln bust out the door, co-host Alisyn Camerota fretted, "I hope they're not absconding with the bust. I hope that was theirs."

And when the video showed the wife of Chief of Staff Mark Meadows carrying a stuffed pheasant to a vehicle, Camerota sniffed, "I don't know where she got [it]."

CNN political analyst Errol Louis put a nasty coda to the discussion, snidely fretting, "certainly one does hope that they're not looting the place."

Exactly! Democrats are so bitchy.

I remember when the Clintons left the White House Mrs. Bill Clinton took some of the furniture that didn’t belong to them with her. Someone noticed so they returned it, so it was OK.

Satan’s news network.

One certainly does hope that Errol Louis isn't f***ing his neighbor's St. Bernard.

I don’t hate them. I just know that we all have more guns than them if it comes to that.

I tell people that I’m still pissed that they built the Kingdome next to downtown Seattle even though the voters voted to put it next to Southcenter Mall.

And the dang thing was torn down about 24 years ago. Though I’m no longer a republican, like an Elephant, I have a long memory.

Yeah Hillary had give the china and many other things back.

[Right Wing Assault]

I thought the left now hates Lincoln and considers him to be an incorrigible racist white male.

Get it back and give it to antifa so they can smash it with sledge hammers.

[blueplum]

CNN has spent the summer championing the destruction of statues of historic figures, the labeling and demonizing of prior presidents as racist, and they are obsessive over a bust of Lincoln?

The precedent: Hillary and the White House silverware.

I remember the Clintons took all the China and silverware. Lowlifes.
