CNN: Trump Is Imposing 'Ideology’ By Enforcing Civil Rights Law
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelsein

Posted on 02/18/2026 4:42:51 PM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

On Wednesday’s CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish and her panel managed to recast enforcement of federal civil rights law under Donald Trump as “enforcing ideology,” while a Democratic consultant insisted that DEI “was never a problem” until Trump took office.

[snip]

Cornish framed the issue this way:

“What it means is the actual government now is involved in enforcing a different ideology, so to speak.”

No. It means the federal government is enforcing the law.

Democratic consultant Antjuan Seawright went further, claiming:

“DEI was never a problem until Trump became President of the United States."

Seawright also suggested that scaling back DEI resurrects an old injustice, invoking “this idea that black folks should always be on the menu and never at the table.”

Haven’t heard much about Don Lemon lately.

I only mention him because he’s going to get charged under the FACE law, which was written to “protect” the civil rights of people going to abortion clinics.

CNN has become parody at this point and no one is watching.

CNN is garbage. They should have their license to broadcast yanked.

Precisely how “Democracy” is supposed to work.
Gain power, pick and choose the winners.
Oppress the losers.
