“CNN should be ashamed of themselves…The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host”
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was triggered early in the CNN town hall with President Trump Wednesday night, tweeting a full meltdown freakout about thirty minutes in:
“CNN should be ashamed of themselves. They have lost total control of this “town hall” to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim. The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host…This falls squarely on CNN. Everyone here saw exactly what was going to happen. Instead they put a sexual abuse victim in harm’s way for views. This was a choice to platform lies about the election & Jan 6th w/ no plan but to have their moderator interrupted without consequence.”

The Guardian’s Hugo Lowell, “Kaitlan Collins is doing a valiant effort trying to correct or interject when Trump lies or misconstrues at this CNN Town Hall, but Trump just talks over her and she gets rolled as the audience roars with laughter and claps”
