'Pathetic!' MAGA reacts with fury to CNN's cutting off Trump spokesperson's angry ran

This made me smile. Tapper and CNN need to also cut off TFG's mic during the debate



https://www.rawstory.com/maga-2668592260/

Former President Donald Trump's followers were shocked Monday when a campaign spokesperson was not allowed to finish her angry rant on national television — and they didn't hold back.

Karoline Leavitt was forced to air her grievances on X instead after an attempted character attack on upcoming presidential debate moderator Jake Tapper spurred CNN anchor Kasie Hunt to cut the Trump spokeswoman's mic.

"You cut off my microphone for bringing up the debate moderator’s history of anti-Trump lies," Leavitt declared. "This proved our point that President Trump will not be treated fairly on Thursday."

Hunt also clarified on X her position on the matter, saying it was a question of respect.

"You come on my show, you respect my colleagues," Hunt wrote. "Period."

Who’s the snowflake now?

I can’t wait for Biden to beat Trump like a dirty rug come debate time. Of course, that hinges on whether Trump has the guts to show up. It seems like the MAGAtS are already looking for excuses to cover for his defeat or not showing up.

Like a cheesy mannequin. With some people, once they start surgically altering their looks, it can become an addiction. They never feel like they look good enough, so back to the doctor they go. They are looking for a perfection that only exists in their minds.

Lie, lie, lie. If you aren’t fact checked, the lies take on a life of their own, big win. If you are fact checked and shut down, play the victim card and stir up a shit pile of poutrage. Another win. Rinse, repeat.

That came on air at the exact time Turd did. Seems One is making simething of her Career, even though at CNN, the other seems to be a MAGA plant on MSNBC.
The greatest thing that will happen after Trump crashes and burns for eternity, will be that bandwagon of idiots hoping to rise to power attached to his ass.

...Liz Harrington? Did she get traded in or something?

I believe it was Randi Rhodes who first noticed this trend many years ago, when the stuffed shirts who ran the "think" tanks realized how lousy they looked on shows like Bill Maher's, and so they started hiring "fembots" (Rhodes' term) who were significantly more photogenic. This was around the time that shills like Laura Ingraham and Monica Crowley started making the rounds on the cable screamfest shows.

Ms. leavitt came across as a bit of a Know-it-all, Annoying, Rude, Entitled, and rather Negative in her responses. Must be pretty exhausting to maintain that level of sanctimony for even more than a minute or two.

would be the undoing of Trump & his cult. Some of them know this & know they're lying and are just playing a very serious game. They are purposely using the tools of propaganda.

Others are too clueless to understand it's a game and the poutrage, lies, and paranoia are all they've got.

Both types are successful in riling up the belligerently ignorant base against the demon Democrats who are ruining AmeriKKKa.

If you have heard one Trump surrogate talking you have heard them all. They are all trained in the art of speed lying and never shutting up, thereby taking all the air out of the room. They never have any intention of actually answering any questions - they just go straight into getting their lies out.

You were cut off for lying about and attacking someone in the network that had nothing to do with the question asked, as a pathetic deflection attempt. And you're doubling down on your lies and throwing a tantrum.
