About this listen

My Citizen Legislators.  CNN went full Jerry Springer on Wednesday, May 10, 2023, by hosting a Town Hall meeting for former President Donald Trump at Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire. The town hall was moderated by Kaitlin Collins.

I didn’t watch the town hall meeting for a variety of reasons.  I knew Trump was going to go all in on spewing lies about the 2020 election, January 6, 2021 – the insurrection.  CNN Chief Chris Licht defended his decision to give Trump the opportunity to spew his lies.  He basically said CNN did a public service to the nation because Trump is a leading contender for the presidency in 2024.  Three million people watched this spectacle.  CNN didn’t do this for the good of the nation; they did it for ratings, money, and for the good of CNN.

On top of that, Anderson Cooper made condescending remarks defending CNN, praising Kaitlin Collins and basically saying Americans shouldn’t silo themselves from only listening to folks they agree with.  The majority of Americans don’t live in a silo; they are fully aware of Trump and his MAGA cult followers.   

Trump received 46.9 percent of the vote in 2020 and lost the popular vote by over  7 million votes.  He may possibly win in 2024, that’s why my Citizen Legislators must resist, fight and mobilize.

Thank you for the opportunity to share my knowledge and love of politics.  I look forward to geeking out with you again.
