CNN almost never misses a chance to suggest Donald Trump is a racist, a Russian asset, an authoritarian, or even a "neo-fascist sociopath." So it's interesting that CNN anchors are demanding Republicans denounce Trump for calling Kamala Harris a "communist" on Fox Business on Thursday morning.
According to CNN Newsroom host (and ex-Obama staffer) Jim Sciutto, "It was all part of the a stunning hour-long interview on Fox where he unleashed a string of false, offensive claims. He target Kamala Harris with sexist comments, calling her a monster more than once, claiming she is a communist."
He reassured viewers that CNN is on top of it and demanding Republicans defend the Democrat's honor, "We will re-up again, we've reached out to the Senate GOP leadership for their comment on his personal attacks on a fellow sitting senator in Kamala Harris. We've not yet heard back. We'll let you know if we do."
Later in the hour fellow host Poppy Harlow asked Yahoo's Brittany Shepherd her reaction:
Brittany, the president, it’s a big deal that he called Senator Kamala Harris a communist this morning. Either he doesn't understand what communism and a communist actually is, or he's just flat outlying or both, and it reeks of McCarthyism. I just wonder what your reaction is. Like Jim said, no Republican leadership in the Senate has responded to our calls to defend their colleague.
Shepherd used the opportunity to first portray Biden and Harris' moderation, "It's hard for me to quite understand why Trump World and Trump himself keeps saying Biden and Harris are communists. If you talk to my progressive friends, old or young, they say Biden and Harris just don't fall far left enough."
It's also hard for her conservative friends--assuming she has conservative friends-- to understand why every Republican to ever run for office is considered a racist and a fascist. Where are CNN's demands that Senate Democrats to denounce those insults? This is the same Shepherd that claimed on CNN that Biden and Harris were "super centrist"!
Shepherd also claimed that racism and sexism were part of Trump's motivation:
I think it's important to acknowledge the reality that women candidates, Republican or Democrat, especially black women candidates when they're in the public circle like this. The reality is if they're too ambitious, they get hit from their own party and the opposing party as being trying to grab power they don't deserve. If they're more pointed against their opponent, they're an angry black woman, an angry black person and they need to pipe down. These are narratives that have been going on for centuries abroad and domestically. So, what you're hearing from the president on Fox this morning is just an extension of that.
Are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris communists? No, and Trump isn't a racist, fascist, or Russian asset, but considering Biden and Harris embraced the AOC agenda when it was convenient and are now trying to run away from it as fast as possible, the country could be well served by CNN not collapsing onto it's fainting couch and asking them where they truly stand.
This segment was sponsored by Progressive.
And she smells...
That’s Biden.................
The TRUTH Hurts!! They are both Commies, but CNN knows this because they hold the Communist Meetings at CNN
Coming from the communist’s news net work what does one expect.
I agree with them. Calling Harris a commie is uncalled for. Now, if Trump had called her a Stalinist scumbag, i would agree whole heartedly.
This hysteria keeps getting ramped up to a new level.
Some of the things he said would be laughable, if they weren't so scary.
The only situations in which communists admit what they are is when they’re amongst their own kind, or when they have enough power that no one can stop them.
That thread title could be the worst abuse of the English language that I’ve seen in a while :)
And I’m glad he called her that.
She’s many more things that I can’t write
“Are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris communists? No, and Trump isn’t a racist, fascist, or Russian asset,”
Nice try at egalitarianism, but both embrace every communist concept. Especially Kamala. Both are indeed communist.
I think Harris has the endorsement of the CPUSA.
That makes her close enough.
Shepherd can never have Trump and it drives him even more mad.
When liberal democracies implode, it always comes down to one or the other.
Make up your own mind about which way you will go.
Ha-I mean -if all your policies statements and views align exactly with textbook ‘communism’, then you are a Communist.
It ain’t rocket science to figure it out!!
Biden is an empty suit...Harris is dangerously close to a true Marxist, as long as she can be in the leading class.....neither she nor Biden will answer questions that will expose how they will govern...that is very clear and is a red flag on both politicians...Harris and Biden are getting away with shirking their duty to the American people who plan to vote on the issues...
Here is what President Trump has done in the broad day light:
....and this is why Biden and Harris won't answer any questions...they will undo this POTUS successes...
Quote from the article:
Either he doesn’t understand what communism and a communist actually is, or he’s just flat outlying or both, and it reeks of McCarthyism. ....
Now we can have a public discussion “what is Communism? What is Socialism” What was Karl Marx really like and is it true he was a sexist anti-Semite and used the N— word a lot? “How does freedom in a Republic differ from these systems?”
