Trump advisor Jason Miller stopped by CNN This Morning on Thursday, and was left squirming when anchor Kasie Hunt confronted him about Donald Trump’s recent Truth Social post that featured a screenshot of an image of younger Kamala Harris smiling next to Hillary Clinton, with a caption underneath that read, “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently.”
“What would you say to the vice president of the United States about the comment that [Trump] reposted?” Hunt asked.
“Well, I saw the social media post,” Miller replied. “I have not discussed that with the president. I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there or simply the picture.”
Miller then quickly pivoted to accuse Democrats of attacking Trump with even more vitriol, telling Hunt, “The attacks that have been levied by Kamala Harris’ campaign and by Harris’ allies against President Trump — not just recently but over the past year and a half, two years, ever since he came down the escalator, quite frankly—in the case of many leftist-centered people, have been quite horrific.”
Hunt asked Miller if he thought the criticisms against Trump have been “as horrific” as the image Trump had reposted. Miller replied, “Oh, a hundred times worse.”
“But they haven’t been sexual in nature in this way,” Hunt pointed out.
“Again, I haven’t discussed that with the president,” Miller said. “I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there. That’s not something that I have asked.”
Don’t forget that CNN has shifted with the Overton Window to the right.
CNN is just about what Faux News was when it first launched. They pander to both sides but just a little more to the right.
There is an author that wrote a book about 20 years ago that was his mea culpa for helping CNN to create the shout show format. I’m not sure they’ve ever really been even half as “liberal” as the unhinged right wing claims.
Jon Stewart’s appearance on Crossfire was also 20 years ago now.
Yes, good point. I was going to mention that Firing Line with Bill F’ing Buckley was on PBS long before then, too. And PBS is supposedly the network of Karl Marx, if you are to believe the unhinged right wing.
And that’s after Buckley called Vidal a queer and threatened him with violence.
Firing Line is something the people at CNN were most likely influence by. I wish I could remember the name of that book and the name of the person that wrote it, but I bet they even said something about Firing Line.
In any case, this stuff has been going on for a very long time, on my supposedly “liberal media” television stations…LOL.
some details for anyone unaware that this has been gradually happening since they got bought a few years ago. Class war is a bitch when they own all the media.
