CNN's Cornish Treats UN as Moral Authority on Hasan Execution; Conservative Says NO!
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/13/2026 4:15:52 PM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

On Monday's CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish aired a clip of UN human rights spokesperson Shabia Mantoo condemning the planned livestream of Nidal Hasan’s execution as “abhorrent” and incompatible with the prohibition on torture. Cornish then asserted that the broader debate has already been settled.

CNN’s decision to platform the UN statement as a serious contribution drew an immediate rebuttal from conservative panelist Tiana Lowe Doescher of the Washington Examiner.

“I could care less what the UN says. They had Iran on the women’s rights commission.”

“They had Iran on the women’s rights commission.”

Ouch! That left a mark!
A bitch-slap so sweetly delivered.

Again, what I find interesting is that no media or politician is challenging the actual execution in this election environment. Nor are them supporting it.

Why?

The UN is not our governing authority.

Shabia Mantoo doesn’t seem like the name of a person I would waste my time listening to.

The UN has less moral authority than a floating turd.

The best thing that this country can do for itself is kick the UN out of our country.

FOR GOOD.

The U.N. is a bunch of muzzie-loving slobs who hate Israel and are perfectly content to let the U.S. pay all their bills. Kick them out of the U.S. and suspend membership. We might catch something with excessively close contact.

Why? Because Trump hasn't made his final decision and liberal haters in 'the press' want to take the opposite position to use that to condemn Trump. If he says 'yes' they'll call him a monster - and if he says 'no' they'll say he was intimated by terrorists... The 'elites' will NEVER let him win.

again, you miss the point. Trump has very clearly said his position on the execution and why. He is the only one who has take an position on the execution

the misdirect is the video.

Why is the media and politicians not taking a position on the execution?

The misdirect is Trump playing with the media and showing them for what they are.

Plus the outrage of live-streaming the execution

Unlike other live streamers of ‘executions’ this one will be done with a determination to mete out justice. For this instance.

They should make the execution pay-per-view and give the proceeds to the families of Hassan’s victims
