Here’s Some Of The Other Hateful Trash Santorum Has Peddled Since Joining CNN

Former Republican Pennsylvania senator Rick Santorum, having lost his second presidential bid in 2016, joined CNN as a senior political commentator in early 2017. Now CNN is being slammed with calls to fire Santorum for whitewashing the genocide of Native Americans during a speech at a conservative event last week.

I’m old enough to remember when CNN stood for “cable news network”.

Another fear-monger…who exists to fan flames which were enhanced by the Murdochs…then given a bucketful of derp by Trump, Team Trump, Trump Minions, Trump Voters, Trump Rallies and every other GOP-Based parasite who is using Trump’s pathology to pad their portfolios.

“ After being evacuated, Westerman and House Republican Leader Kevin McCarthy reportedly hid in McCarthy’s office. But when rioters began breaking into the building, McCarthy’s security detail had him leave Westerman behind.”

I’m curious if they hired this idjit to somehow restore their reputation with morans, because it won’t work and it makes them look bad to everyone else.

When we came to choose a new President, I saw determination and cheer (especially on Inauguration Day after the Insurrection).

I do not wish for this to happen, but I believe that the GOP, with their hateful, pig-sty politics, plans on wearing us down. Here is why:

Dems are really animated by the politics of bringing the country to a more productive and civil reality. The GOP is animated by exactly what they are doing right now, and are prepared to go further into the pig-slop.

It’s not a question of who is stronger (us or them)… it’s a question of predilection and comfort.

I am not suggesting throwing in the towel. In fact, quite the opposite. We did handle the same thing with the Cold War. Then it was Russia.

Now, it’s our neighbors, parents, brothers, sisters and other relatives, best friends, co-workers, etc.

Trump did this. We must not ever forget it.

If the leaders of CNN are now conducting discussions regarding their role in news and opinion and the need for balance, they need to take a hard look at how they define “balance.” That would include what balance is, and what it is NOT.

The entirety of the lamestream media is guilty of that bit. Hire on Republicans, no matter how dumb they are, for “diversity” of “viewpoints”.

Doesn’t matter that they contribute less than nothing.

Remember Cindy Klose at CNN back in the 80’s? She came to Wichita and worked as a news anchor for KWCH when her husband got a job as basketball coach at WSU. Besides being an incredibly talented news anchor, she was incredibly funny. She retired 5 or so years ago and many here still miss her.
