Watch: CNN Doesn’t Think Very Highly of You – At All
Eighty seconds. That’s how long it took for a CNN panel to show just what they think of President Donald Trump’s supporters.
CNN anchor Don Lemon, frequent CNN guest Rick Wilson and New York Times op-ed writer Wajahat Ali (who is also a CNN contributor) rolled out nearly every possible stereotype about Republican voters in a segment that aired Saturday night but didn’t really catch the public’s attention until Monday.
Wilson got the party rolling by saying that “Donald Trump couldn’t find Ukraine on a map if you had the letter ‘U’ and a picture of an actual, physical crane next to it,” which sent Lemon into a hysterical fit of laughter. They were just getting started.
Wilson went on to sneer at “the credulous boomer rube demo that backs Donald Trump, the ones that think that” — and here he broke out into a southern accent — “Donald Trump’s the smart one, and there all y’all, y’all elitists are duuuumb.” Lemon laughed even harder.
Ali chimed in: “You elitists, with your geography and your maps and your spelling.” (At this point, Lemon was laughing so hard that he pulled out a handkerchief to wipe his tear-filled eyes.)
Wilson, still in a faux southern accent, added: “Your math and your readin!’”
“Yeah, your readin’, your geography, knowing other countries, sipping your latte,” said Ali.
“All those liiines on the map,” said Wilson, continuing to use the fake accent.
“Only them elitists know where Ukraine is,” Ali shot back, before seeming to half-realize that the panel had gone too far. “Sorry, I apologize,” he said with a smile.
Lemon, meanwhile, was still laughing hysterically, only managing to say: “Oh my gosh!” in between cackles.
The anchor finally, slowly, regained his composure, but not before extending his gratitude for the sneers: “Rick, that was a good one, I needed that.”
WATCH:
The arrogance, the dismissiveness, the smug cackling, the accents.
If Donald Trump wins re-election this year, I’ll remember this brief CNN segment late one Saturday night in January as the perfect encapsulation for why it happened. pic.twitter.com/8kQ6zN9AZV

I’m surprised that anyone other than the sycophants of the Left saw it. It is no more a reflection of fact and/or truth than are the SNL skits.
Heh, did we all hear today how the NPR interviewer was trying to set up Pompeo, so he told her to point out Ukraine on a map–she took a wild guess and pointed at Bangladesh? Guess the left doesn’t care about Eastern Europe the way we do….and I guess they don’t know about Ukraine’s (by the way, Rick Wilson-it’s not spelled like “crane.”) needing arms because their neighbor is….RussiaRussiaRussia. Heh.
Remember your pathetic lies about Ukraine, guys? Why do you think
sending them weaponry was even a factor if they’re in SE Asia? Geez.\
We can only hope they keep this up, so we can be part of a historic landslide coming up in 10 mos. Then they can blame us “rubes” again — instead of themselves, although we kept telling them they should be spending this “impeachment” time getting a platform and decent candidate ready for spring…

I don’t ever watch CNN. But to their credit? they always end up on the “news” elsewhere because they are news makers not news reporters. Or maybe they are just noisemakers. I’ll never really know because I don’t intend to ever watch them.
These are the same “geniuses” who voted for the pro-infanticide, Marxist socialist “President” Obama… you know… the “man” who racked up an additional $10 TRILLION in additional U.S. Debt. The same man that handed over BILLIONS to the Christ-hating, moon-worshipping Mohammedans in Iran. The same “man” who gave us sodomite “marriage.” These “geniuses” on CNN are no different than the tens of millions (maybe hundreds) of Christ-hating secular humanists who perished in the Great Flood of Noah’s day, and are now down in Hell. (Scripture proof: 1st Peter 3:18-22) Sorry fellers, but I’ll stick with my King James Bible and my faith in Christ… and I’ll hold onto my guns rather than “buying into” the satanic claptrap of these JEHOVAH-hating CNN clowns.
