Julio covered
this and all its awfulness. CNN once again mocked Trump voters, but
with a more vicious tone. It occurred over the weekend.
Saturday saw Don Lemon
and his guests denigrating Trump voters as illiterate country bumpkins because
as of now, with the Democrats’ impeachment push about to die, the economy
booming, and a 2020 Democratic field that just looks incapable of beating the
president—what else can liberal America do?
This is all they have. It’s
pathetic. It’s maddening. It’s why the media is so hated, and rightfully so.
The segment on "CNN Tonight with Don Lemon" is
drawing heavy criticism after guests Wajahat Ali and Rick Wilson spent some
time mocking President Trump and his supporters as Americans who can't read,
write, or read a map.
Wilson began the parade of insults on Saturday when he
said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo "knows deep in his heart that Donald
Trump couldn’t find a Ukraine on a map if you had the letter U and an actual
crane. He knows this is an administration defined by the ignorance of the
world. That’s part of him playing to their base."
Describing Trump's base as a "credulous, boomer
rube" demographic, Wilson then used a southern accent to state:
"'Donald Trump’s a smart one and y’all elitists are dumb.'"
Host Don Lemon burst into laughter as Wilson mocked the
voters.
"'You
elitists with your geography, maps, spelling,'" Ali joined in.
"'Yeah, your reading. Your geography. Knowing other countries. Sipping
your latte.'"
And all this exchange did was create new Trump voters.
It’s one of the many notes a Twitter user, Gracie, Chief Fun Officer,
noted, and she was clearly irate over this segment.
“Every day you
turn more and more folks who hate Trump into his future voters. The people who
wouldn't vote for him in 2016 and were planning on doing the same in 2020 are
done with your sh*t,” she wrote.
“Keep going on CNN
and making an ass of yourself. It'll make Donald Trump's reelection all the
much sweeter for those of us who you look down on,” she added.
She also
said that she’s college-educated, aced her geography class, and is not really a
fan of Trump, but this nonsense the condescending elitism inherent in liberal
America, is what she despises even more.
