Shame

CNN's recent town hall was actually a Trump rally.

Not only did the network give this criminal free air time to spew his lies, but they also filled the audience with his sycophants who laughed hysterically at his every pronouncement. Trump normally slovenly slurs through half intelligible speech waving those little hands in mock playing of an accordion which would be amusing if he did not have so much influence within his party.

I could not bear to watch the spectacle but those highlights on YouTube I did see were deeply embarrassing as poor Kaitlan Collins was faced with a barrage of untruths made more difficult to fact check by the cackling and applause from the audience.

Normally you would be able to provide a platform for a politician except that Trump defies all comparisons to a conventional one. He is more akin to an Al Capone character with a history of threatening judges and grabbing women by the genitals.

A more deplorable person has never run and won such a high office, which is why the rule book has been thrown in the dust bin and these horrible errors are made. Unsurprisingly, a sampling of the audience were questioned by the network and gave some answers that would be deemed hallucinatory by anyone who is up on the subject matter.

Shame on CNN.
