Free Republic

No one would call Kasie Hunt a conservative. But as the host of CNN This Morning, Hunt did regularly include actual Republicans, most often Brad Todd or Matt Gorman, on her panels. But one week ago today, Audie Cornish replaced Hunt as host of CNN This Morning. And--poof!--Trump-friendly Republicans have virtually disappeared from the show. Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

CNN host Kasie Hunt was left visibly shocked after listening to incoming border czar Tom Homan say he would put Denver Mayor Mike Johnston in jail if he didn't cooperate with Donald Trump's mass deportation plan. In an appearance last Monday with Fox News' Sean Hannity, Homan said: 'Me and the Denver mayor, we agree on one thing; he's willing to go to jail. I'm willing to put him in jail.' Hunt played this soundbite on her show Wednesday and had a visceral reaction before insisting that Homan's rhetoric was 'more extreme' than what had been said by the Trump...

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the term “deep State” refers to President-elect Donald Trump’s selection of Kash Patel to head the FBI because his objective is reforming the institution. Guest host Kasie Hunt said, “Do you think there are any issues inside the FBI around politicization, as many who voted for Donald Trump seem to say?” Raskin said, “Well, undoubtedly, if you look at it historically, for example, during the COINTELPRO period the FBI really was weaponized against Doctor King and the Civil Rights Movement and the Peace Movement. There was, you...

There's one thing you must say for Vivek Ramaswamy: he's unafraid to go into the center of controversy. Ramaswamy waded into the pro-Hamas fray in Chicago outside the Democrat convention. And appearing on today's CNN This Morning, Ramaswamy described his experiences in holding a town hall in Springfield, Ohio in the midst of the controversy over Haitian immigration there. [snip] Hunt tried to get Ramaswamy to say that Trump's recent comments about Haitians eating pets have led to the outbreak of tensions. She also cited Laura Loomer's comments that if Harris wins, the White House will smell like curry. Ramaswamy...

[snip] Frum sees Harris as the candidate now pulling away. Frum was, in essence, predicting a Kamala victory. And he wondered what lesson the Trump campaign, and by extension Republicans at large, would learn from the loss. Would they conclude that Trump lost because he was older and didn't work hard enough, and that the party simply needs to find a younger, harder-working version of Trump? Or will they realize that, according to Frum: "[Trump's] kind of authoritarian, racist, corrupt style of politics doesn't work. It doesn't work in North Carolina. It doesn't work for Donald Trump. And it doesn't...

The screencap says it all. That's Sarah Longwell, founder of Republican Voters Against Trump, literally pointing her finger [as she repeatedly did] at Republican Scott Jennings on today's CNN This Morning. The subject was antisemitism, and Jennings was quadruple-teamed, with the three panelists plus host Kasie Hunt arguing that right-wing antisemitism is more of a problem than the left-wing version. Far-left activist Maya Wiley summed up the Democrat argument this way: "We cannot compare organized white, extremism -- I'm saying this as white supremacy, neo-Nazism -- and equate that to kids on a college campus struggling with very difficult issues."Funny...

If it had been up to Kasie Hunt, host of CNN This Morning, the rest of today's show could have been ditched, replaced by a non-stop loop of Trump making his claim, during last night's debate, that migrants are eating the pets of residents of Springfield, Ohio. She cited leftist late-night jester Stephen Colbert, and smirked at Trump "spouting baseless allegations about migrants eating pets." After playing it once, Hunt begged a show director: "Can we, can we just, Jimmy in the control room, can we play the pets bite one more time? Can we just watch that one more...

On today'sKate Beningfield Bakari Sellers Kasie Hunt Shermichael Singleton Alyssa Farah Griffin CNN This Morning 8-20-24CNN This Morning, the panel from Kate Bedingfield to Bakari Sellers, to Shermichael Singleton, to host Kasie Hunt herself, all praised Joe Biden for being "selfless" in stepping aside. It's all a tired repeat of fervent over-praise of the president after he was dragged kicking and screaming to the door, with Nancy Pelosi threatening to publicly humiliate him if he refused to go. As the New York Post reported [emphasis added]: "Pelosi reportedly threatened to publicly trash her longtime friend and political ally if he...

On today's CNN This Morning, host Kasie Hunt gushed over how "beautiful" Kamala Harris is. They played off a soundbite of Donald Trump talking about the embarrassing artsy Time cover of Harris and telling a rally crowd that he's better looking. Hunt repeatedly cited a Peggy Noonan column about the "beautiful" Harris, including this line: The excitement here, he was technically responding to a Peggy Noonan column that was at the beginning of August, where Noonan says "She is beautiful. You can’t take a bad picture of her. Her beauty, plus the social warmth that all who have known her...

If this is the best that Dem MSM hacks can come up with to defend Tim Walz's claim that he carried weapons "in war," Kamala Harris's VP pick could be in some real trouble. On CNN This Morning, host Kasie Hunt put it to former Hillary spokesperson Karen Finney, now a CNN commentator: "So, Karen, Walz did say that I carried in war. And we do know that doesn't seem to be the case. But he did, would have trained extensively in preparation for it, with these types of weapons." Finney latched like a drowning woman onto Hunt's mention of...

Check the look of dismay/disdain on Kasie Hunt's face as she decried Donald Trump having called Kamala Harris, during his Atlanta rally on Sunday, a "low-IQ individual." On today's CNN This Morning, Hunt claimed that Trump's statement was "definitely race-related."Really? Shall we take a stroll down the list of people of pallor whose intellect Trump has disparaged? Let's begin with the infamous tweet in which Trump used the very same term regarding the very white Mika Brzezinski: "low-I.Q. Crazy Mika."Get the rest of the story and view the video here.

When CNN This Morning host Kasie Hunt brings in a Republican and a Democrat to discuss the campaign, that would be two spins. But at the end of today's chat with Republican Scott Jennings and Democrat Brad Woodhouse, Hunt raised her arms, and told viewers: "Scott is giving you spin. That is what they are going to say."Jennings had just said "she's always been better at getting money that votes. I mean, not a single person has ever voted for her for this. And yet, here she has it. So, good job." That is indisputably true on the national level....

Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) said Tuesday on “CNN This Morning” that what Democrats knew about President Joe Biden’s cognitive decline was not relevant. Host Kasie Hunt said, “We know that the one of the principle lines of attacks, and I’ve talked to sources who say the polling shows this is a serious vulnerability that Republicans are going to say that Kamala Harris knew that President Biden wasn’t up to four more years. I mean, they would say that about you, I think as well, and they’re going to allege a coverup. They’re going to say she knew she covered it...

The establishment media delivered a damning review of President Joe Biden’s Thursday debate performance. Biden, who mumbled and sounded raspy, appeared to lose track of his thoughts a few times. “I wish Biden would reflect on this debate performance and then announce his decision to withdraw from the race, throwing the choice of Democratic nominee to the convention,” New York Times’ columnist Nicholas Kristof posted on X. CNN’s Kasie Hunt underscored the difference between Biden and former President Donald Trump. “The voice, open-mouthed look, and visual contrast between President Biden and former President Trump all have Democrats I’m talking to...

CNN and the entire left are so terrified of free speech, it’s almost beyond belief. They will go to unreal lengths to control the narrative and silence anyone who dares to challenge the progressive storyline or call out—and even mock—the so-called leaders on the left. That’s exactly why, with the highly anticipated upcoming debate, the regime-run media hacks at CNN are desperate to control the narrative. This includes censoring right-wing accounts that might clip parts of the debate to share on social media. CNN has even threatened to go after any accounts that do this by citing the Digital Millennium...

As Twitchy reported Monday, CNN's Kasie Hunt cut off her interview with Trump spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt after Leavitt brought up debate moderator Jake Tapper's previous comparisons of Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler. Hunt went on X to defend it, saying, "You come on my show, you respect my colleagues. Period." But Clay Travis brought receipts: a video of Tapper and co-moderator Dana Bash likening Trump's rhetoric to that of Hitler. Former CNN analyst Chris Cillizza famously tweeted that reporters don't root for a side. That doesn't seem to be the case with CNN, which hosted drag queen Brigitte Bandit to...

VIDEONo, I did NOT photoshop Kasie Hunt's Twitter bio to make her look like an over the top biased flack for the DNC. That Twitter bio you see was created by Kasie Hunt herself (at least until she takes it down out of embarrassment). Yeah, look at how Kasie and Joe Biden hold each other's hands as they smilingly gaze into each other eyes. Love is in the air. For Kasie such a pic on her Twitter bio also acts as a CNN job security virtue signal. And it explains why she so quickly shut down President Trump's National Press...

CNN cut the microphone of Trump campaign spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt on Monday after she correctly pointed out the network’s debate moderators’ long history of anti-Trump bias — proving the former president’s biggest opponent during the Thursday presidential debate isn’t President Joe Biden, but the media.CNN’s Kasie Hunt first asked Leavitt “what Donald Trump is going to do differently on the debate stage,” before asking Leavitt what she expects from Biden.“It would take someone five minutes to google ‘Jake Tapper, Donald Trump’ to see that Jake Tapper has —,” Leavitt said, referencing that the debate would be moderated by Jake Tapper...

VIDEOLeftist meltdowns can be unintentionally hilarious. Such was the case with these two recent meltdowns by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, AOC, and Kasie Hunt of CNN by way of MSNBC. What made AOC so funny was that she was screeching about taking this country back. Um, who has been in charge of the country, especially the Lawfare system, for the past few years. None other than her own CORRUPT Democrat party. Kasie Hunt acted like a Karen Hunt for insisting it is a grave sin to criticize Jake Tapper for daring to point out his more than obvious TDS. In Cable TV...

CNN host Kasie Hunt abruptly ended an interview with Donald Trump press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Monday morning after she repeatedly bashed her colleague Jake Tapper. With three days to go until the first presidential debate, Hunt asked Leavitt how the Republican was preparing for his showdown with President Joe Biden. Leavitt accused Biden of ‘hiding away’ while Trump was preparing to ‘go into a hostile environment on this very network with debate moderators who have made their opinions about him very well known over the past eight years.’ She said Tapper and Dana Bash are ‘biased’, prompting Hunt to...
