CNN's Cornish Tries To Embarrass GOP Panelist On Iran: ‘Your Favorite Person’ Trump

On Thursday's CNN This Morning, in a discussion of the memorandum of understanding with Iran, host Audie Cornish tried to corner former Trump White House Communications Director Mike Dubke.

After noting some conservatives were "squawking" over the deal, Cornish turned directly to Dubke and declared, “Mike Dubke, your favorite person just posted to Truth Social.” She then read Trump’s post highlighting record stock market highs and falling oil prices before asking whether critics of the MOU were “jealous, bad people, or stupid?”

Dubke defended the agreement as only a framework for further negotiations, not a finished deal. He noted Iran’s degraded military capabilities, reduced ballistic missile stockpiles, and diminished ability to fund proxies like Hamas and the Houthis.

After co-panelist Meghan Hays -- who like Dubke was a White House communications aide, and was tagged as the costumed Easter Bunny who led Biden away from reporters at the Easter Egg Roll -- snickered at his points, and later claimed the U.S. was spending $300 billion-plus on the deal, Dubke’s irritation was clear. “I appreciate the laughter on my left,” he said sarcastically. And he pushed back hard on the cost figure: “We did not spend $300 billion in this deal, I just can't let you get away with that."

Cornish is not in the habit of mocking Hays with references to "your favorite person" Biden.

Fox News is also nauseating. They all are.

Everything attached to Trump produces a knee jerk reaction by both parties. They are incapable of pondering the future of success. . It’s 0-60 hair on fire.
