Trump and his handlers are criticized a lot for going into the Dens of Iniquity, aka the legacy media, for interviews, comments, etc. Although, in one of the video clips in this article, I believe it was Anderson Cooper who commented that this was Trump's first appearance on CNN since the 2016 election. (Maybe I misheard that -- seems improbable enough.) Anyway, you gotta watch Tapper just about blow a gasket. It's delicious to watch.

I also saw a few clips of Trump as he responded to the CNN "reporter" during this town hall. He played her like a fiddle, even though she clearly crafted her questions to make him look as bad as possible.

The other really delicious thing about this town hall was the audience reaction to Trump's comments. They applauded, they laughed, and they cheered. And I think that was the thing that pissed off Tapper the most -- Trump went into THEIR back yard, shit on the lawn, and made THEM clean it up.

Lots of video and other links.

Wednesday was an interesting night in Washington, D.C. as former President Donald Trump appeared at a town hall hosted by the network that hates him, CNN. Here are the stories so far as reported by RedState:

AOC and Rick Wilson Hilariously Melt Down Over Trump’s CNN Town Hall

Trump on Fire: Drops Kaitlan Collins on Jan. 6, Ukraine and Classified Docs

Donald Trump Gives No Quarter to E. Jean Carroll – or Her ‘Hanky Panky’ Claims – at CNN Town Hall

At CNN Town Hall, Trump Calls Cop Who Killed Ashli Babbitt a ‘Thug’

Amid Criminal Probe in Georgia, Trump Claims Georgia Secretary of State ‘Owed Me Votes’

But something interesting happened after the event as well—liberal rage and anger erupted over the fact that Trump came out and was well, Trumpian. CNN anchor Jake Tapper was not surprisingly part of the outrage mob and during his analysis of the proceedings, he looked at various points like he was going to cry, explode or just start throwing things. His voice went up an octave in disgust at the end of many of his sentences.

As RedState’s Sister Toldjah reported, Tapper seems to be having even more difficulty than usual these days hiding his ideological leanings, adopting his holier-than-thou tone as he leaned into Sen. Dick Durbin on Sunday, basically demanding that the Illinois Democrat call for Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s resignation over health problems. As Toldjah wrote, Tapper looked “more like a newly-minted intern for Planned Parenthood and the AOC wing of the Democratic party rather than a neutral media figure who was just seeking answers.”

Tapper’s supercilious attitude was on full display Wednesday night as he could barely control his breath during an exchange with Anderson Cooper.

Watch the outrage:


“Hello, from Washington. And it was an interesting night—Mr. Trump’s first lie was told just seconds into the night with his false familiar claim that the 2020 election was, quote, a rigged election,” Tapper sniffed.

Although many of Trump’s claims have been about voting machines and other irregularities, many of which have never been proven, it’s the height of condescension to say that it’s a lie to question the 2020 election when news has been coming out daily showing how the CIA was directly involved in spiking the Hunter Biden laptop story—and giving Joe Biden talking points before a critical debate. That is blatant governmental interference in the outcome of a presidential election—I think it’s fair to call that rigging the system. Trump also called out the Twitter Files, which proved the government colluded with Big Tech to shape the opinion of the electorate.

But Tapper kept venting:

And the falsehoods kept coming fast and furious, about the January 6 insurrection, about the threat to Vice President Pence, about Pence’s ability to overturn the election, about COVID, about the economy, and more. He called a black law enforcement officer a thug.

What does the officer’s race have to do with this? He was an armed officer of the law, and he shot an unarmed woman, killing her. It seems like Tapper is trying to somehow imply that Trump is racist for questioning this action because the officer is black, but that’s clearly a preposterous and below-the-belt argument. Back in 2021, Nick Arama wrote about Jonathan Turley’s concerns about the officer, who once left his gun in a bathroom at the Capitol. His lack of discipline is more relevant than his race.


Tapper continued his outrage theater, ginning up more racial animus by targeting Trump’s mention of Chinatown and being upset about his use of the term “nasty woman,” but you get the idea. Anderson Cooper jumped in too, slightly more measured and composed—although he spent the entire segment looking like he smelled rotten eggs.

“We don’t have enough time to fact-check every lie he told,” an indignant Tapper said as he turned it over to his panel of six guests.

Full disclosure: I turned it off at this point. Their musings are predictable; rather than talking about the many, many valid points Trump made on immigration, the debt, fossil fuels, Ukaraine, etcetera, they will simply say “liar, liar” over and over as if that solves the nation’s problems.

Perhaps Jake is so miffed because it was his own network that gave the former president this platform—and that the live audience loved Trump. As my colleague Nick Arama put it,  “He cleaned CNN’s clock” and made them look “silly.”  The one thing Jake Tapper did not look like was an impartial journalist seriously discussing an extremely important upcoming election. But, “this is CNN.”

Trump has been playing the MSM like rounds of golf for 8 years. Even now, I do not think MSM folk realize that their 2015-2016 Trump-Poutrage saved Trump's campaign millions of $$$. :rotf:

Anderson Cooper also had some sand in his vagina:

CNN's Anderson Cooper blasts 'disturbing' GOP audience at Trump town hall: 'They are your family members'

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper returned to his scorched-earth approach to former President Trump that has largely been absent since the 2022 ousting of the network's anti-Trump president Jeff Zucker.

Cooper began his opening monologue on Thursday following CNN's town hall with Trump the night before by addressing his audience's reaction to the "disturbing" event without once saying the former president's name.

"Many of you have expressed deep anger and disappointment. Many of you are upset that someone who attempted to destroy our democracy was invited to sit on a stage in front of a crowd of Republican voters to answer questions and predictably continued to spew lie, after lie, after lie," he said.

"And I get it. It was disturbing," Cooper continued. "It was disturbing to see and hear that person refer to a Black law enforcement officer a thug, an adjective he used many times to describe Black men, and called Kaitlan Collins, the moderator, ‘nasty,’ which is what he calls any woman who stands up to him. It was disturbing to hear him speak so highly of QAnon conspirators and insurrectionists who assaulted police officers and our democracy on January 6. And it was awful to hear him spread ridiculous lies about the election."

"And it was certainly disturbing to hear that audience, young and old, our fellow citizens, people who love their kids and go to church laugh and applaud his lies and his continued defamation of woman who according to a jury of his peers he sexually abused and defamed," Cooper said, referring to this week's jury verdict siding with Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll.

Cooper insisted that despite Collins' attempts as moderator, trying to fact-check Trump is "impossible" since "he lies so shamelessly."

"Now, many of you think CNN shouldn't have given him any platform to speak and I understand the anger about that - giving him the audience, the time, I get that. But this is what I also get; The man you were so disturbed to see and hear from last night - that man is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for president. And according to polling, no other Republican is even close," Cooper said. "That man you were so upset to hear from last night, he may be President of the United States in less than two years. And that audience that upset you? That's a sampling of about half the country. They are your family members, your neighbors and they are voting. And many said they're voting for him."

On the ACLJ's radio show (it plays during my evening commute, but I think first airs earlier in the day), Jordan Sekulow commented to the effect that one of the shocks for MSM partisans was that Trump voters are around and don't look like "insurrectionists" and miscellaneous crazies. That audience committed Narrative-cide, :rotf: .

Heard a description many moons ago, which is Indian lingo (a wonderful turn of a phrase from the late great Rush Limbaugh) referring to the leftists and found that it came from Bill Maher, who is a classical liberal. He calls the left "emotional hemophiliacs". Which is so incredibly accurate and true with every waking day.

So sad yet amusing to see the leftists melt down over words and language.

I'll go ahead and say it... President Reagan would call President Trump a 'gifted ally and friend'.
