Video: CNN beclowns itself painting Breitbart editor-in-chief as racist

Soledad O’Brien and her CNN panel manage to stumble into Contessa Brewer territory in this appearance by attempting to paint Breitbart.com editor-in-chief Joel Pollak as a racist for making a point about Barack Obama’s support for a proponent of “critical race theory” during his days at Harvard Law School. Joel ends up in an argument with a woefully unprepared O’Brien on the theory itself, but the actual facepalm moment goes to one of her panelists, who asks Joel why he’s so afraid of black people:

Libs will claim Pollack's wife isn't black enough or not a "real" black.

I’d love it if Sarah and Col Allen West ran

No more women hating.
No more hating blacks
No more hating military
plus it gives is a swing state which we need and gives us two people with guts to speak out and actually can overturn all of the crap this bozo has done

CNN dropped its pretense of objectivity and now we have two MSNBCs.

I was concerned about what would happen to the Breitbart websites and Andrew Breitbart’s method of operations.

After seeing this I have no more concern.

Joel Pollak did a brilliant job of using this film to unmask Soledad O’Brien as an endorser of “critical race theory”. Now that the stage has been set, the Breitbart people can share more information about how insidious critical race theory is, and tie Obama into the theory’s supporters.

I think that by judicious exposure of a few radical principles embraced by Obama, they will do a great job of showing the country who Obama really is.

Don’t forget, Pollak was the Harvard student who asked Barney Frank to own up to his own responsibility in the Fannie Mae/Freddy Mac housing guarantee scam. He may look innocent and meek, but he’s a fighter.

Soledad was relying on her “audio teleprompter” to educate her on the fly. She has no clue about Critical Race Theory and she was subsequently OWNED by her guest. Bravo!!!

Solodad O’Brien had no shame in her covering for the MSM here. Wow. She was unabashed. I was waiting for Joel to stop and say, “Easy there...why are you reacting to this much the same way a campaign surrogate would act for Obama?”

Soledad should be yanked off the air for that unprofessional display. Just wow. What an ignorant snob she is. That whole know it all “whatcha got? huh? oh that it? that all you got? you ain’t shit” attitude was extremely unsettling to watch. She was protecting Obama like he was her Dad.

Pathetic.

We are Breitbart.

Personally, I think Soledad O’Brien is a bigot and a racist.

I’m disgusted by her behavior on this video. As well as the “white guy” that was beating up Pollack for being white.

Agree. Pollak is brilliant.

Hope I can do as well in similar situations.

Did you notice the supercilious sneer on O’Brien’s face when she was so rudely interrupting Pollak? Made me want to slap her face.

After that performance by the ridiculously named Soledad O'Brien, I wonder if she has her own bedroom at the Whitehouse.

“Joel ends up in an argument with a woefully unprepared O’Brien”

Liberals are never prepared with facts. They are emotion driven creatures who attack rather than debate. Joel was very impressive and would have made Andrew proud.

“Soledad was relying on her “audio teleprompter” to educate her on the fly.”

Yes, it was so obvious that she was being fed that info realt-time. If anyone checks, I bet it can be proved that she was given something straight off of Wiki or some other convenient source. Her clumbsy attemtps to “act out” her narrative made it painfully clear that she was only trying to deceive viewers. Soledad couldn’t do it solo. LOL.
