CNN’s @clarissaward reporting from #Kabul day before & after #Taliban’s capture of #Afghanistan!

Reporting live from Kabul, CNN's Clarissa Ward sparked an almighty backlash as she claimed the Taliban "seem friendly" as they made horrific chants on wishing "death" on the United States. Her comments prompted social media users to take to Twitter to vent their anger at the comments, while Republican Senator Ted Cruz branded her a "Taliban cheerleader" as she wore a headdress in order to remain safe in the presence of the Taliban. CNN later hit back at Mr Cruz branding him "low class" and for "running off to Cancun in tough times".
Ms Ward said: “They are just chanting ‘death to America' but they seem friendly at the same time.
“It is utterly bizarre.”
Her comments led to conservative commentator Darren Grimes sarcastically tweeting "Yes, CNN. They seem lovely."
While another user referenced two different pictures showing the same reporter wearing a different dress code, reflecting the Taliban's strict views on women.

“They seem like nice guys”
They are mostly peaceful killers . . .
Even before her execution by beheading she was quoted as saying even though they are going to Jill me they seem very friendly
Kill
Not a CNN supporter by any means, however she probably thought she was saving her life by appeasing the Taliban. IMHO.
She is typical of the low IQ dumba** people at the communist news network.

CNN employs the underhanded tactic of moral equivalency to attack the credibility of critics. Somehow temporarily escaping a Covid lock down is as evil as being a cheer leader for the Taliban. Remember when CNN was a cheer leader for Saddam?
She will be very lucky to get out of there alive

Christiane Amanpour wanabe.
Got it when used Jill. Synonymous now by association
This hole country’s been jilled. And yes I did mean hole.
Not many are.
I just saw a report that last night cnn prime time audience was less than 600K.
Sooner or later, AT&T is going to cut the cord, even lefties need to make a profit somewhere.
Why do sponsors continue to pay money for ads that nobody is watching?
Beats me.
Just an extension of the CNN's “mostly peaceful” BLM killers and rioters.
