@davids11131113 teehee
Chris you figboy
@Aussie Jim Sorry snowflake but CNN is the MOTHER of fake news and liberal/demoRAT beta-males like you are fake Americans. When we have a civil war, we the conservative patriots will be putting you liberal commies like rabid dogs. I’m getting a hard-on thinking about it.
Gordon: “I’m in Kiev”
Trump: “Is that in Ukraine?” :-))
That city must be in one of Obama’s 53 states!
@ON THE ROAD you sad fuckers have the lowest standards. Also, I’m sure trump would crash and burn with us geography, so be careful there bud.
@Sterling HARRIS <<< this is a trump supporter. That's all you need to know about their ilk.
@deepfriedchocobo go eat a fat fried chocobo
“It doesn’t matter if you’re right…it matters if you make a splash.”
One of the saddest statements reflecting current American politics.
Like AOC you can be a dumb young girl with mind a 15 year old and become a government representative
@WhyU SoJelly I think it’s every American’s right to vote and can’t understand why there are so many voter supression laws out there.
@Eric Gatlin only demos vote for forks like her. Sounds like ca valley girl. Lol
@Joe Salta they would vote on a used condom if they thought it could put Trump out of office
Lol the stinky fingers and Fredo News Network!
I’d love to see her debate AOC. 😁
Damario Haynes only if she fell from a 10 story building.
AOC is the most incompetent person in Congress.
OH GOD, AOC WOULD LIGHT HER UP
Damario Haynes AOC is completely stupid. The only way she would crush her is if she fell on top of Stephanie
epstein was a democrate,,& he didn’t kill him self!
blood bath.OAC WOULD NOT MAKE IT OUT OF ROUND ONE!!!
How many people saw this at the airport?
I think it’s sad that politicians are having twitter wars
Rep. Devin Nunes threatens to sue CNN, The Daily Beast
Twitter wars are bad if you are a slave to the Democrat party.
@Virgil Parks only black people? It was common for anyone to get hung back then. The biggest mass lynching in the USA was Italian white guys. Thanks for trying to hijack my joke.
Ohh, you’re like the anti Greg Gutfield……So cute…
So CNN decided to pass off an accountant as a youtuber.
@Rob Ralph You could literally put any MSM channel in that statement and have it ring true. Bravo!
Dee Jolly he’s never been an accountant why are you dissing a guys looks over nothing
@Rob Ralph ……yes.
@Diane Diego No, it just seems “hello fellow Youtubers” to me, a corporate employed personality injected into what is a grassroots creator based platform. It seems like it would be more genuine to present themselves as they are instead of faking it.
@Diane Diego Basically, I was being a smartass and not literal. He does seem smug and obnoxious tho.
“Much-hated Schiff”? Much-hated by whom? Republican minions of Trump, I guess.
schiff is a joke in case you haven’t been paying attention!
As a young House Republican said in January 1999: “You don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role.”
The congressman’s name? Lindsey O. Graham (S.C.),
How times have changed, Republicans are just Lying Hypocrites that is all.
They know what they are doing wrong, but they need TRUMP.
without Trump the GOP is doomed. well they better prepare for their doom.
Wow. She’s getting national recognition for not being able to follow direction. An the GOP thinks that makes her a STAR.
Thomas Moeller
Actually it was her preparedness and direct line of questioning. So there’s that..
@rockydj1000 How…open-minded…
William Battle i dont need lecture from klan members about being open minded. Your fucking leaders are lying, as if there is no tomorrow and most of lunatics in right follow them blindly.
William Battle whole republican party has become a cult, blinded by racism, homophobia, xenophobia and anti-intellectualism
lol…give her a few months and then he will say he never knew her and she just brought him coffee. This I can tell you.
Let her have her 15 minutes of fame. It will pass soon enough.
like CNN on epstein??????????????
The po!nt is basically …
*The lady reminds me of Fat Amy*
She even looks like Sarah Sanders…though a little worse for wear…
Mohsin Khan ~ spoken like a true leftist.
@Jack Holly Spoken like a true
lol…
another sarah sanders.
just need to find Cinderella now.
Fkng social media, was once a blessing, and now it’s a fkng virus…
Rep. Devin Nunes threatens to sue CNN, The Daily Beast
@South London Metal Detector he won’t because he’s guilty of what they claim.
yeah a virus spread by trump
@South London Metal Detector lol, yes, and trumpets are here trying to scare us with the ludricrous notion that an anti-defamation civil lawsuit, that is most likely to fail anyways because all CNN and the db did was to report what someone else said, somehow will be more serious and significant than the already existing federal criminal investigations, including at least one counterintelligence investigation already occurring. In regards to that it looks like Nunes may also be of interest to one or more of those investigations, as well as the impeachment investigation itself so its pretty whacked for nunes going forward.
Almost 8 million subs. Congrats CNN! The envy of the Reich-wing MAGAts and Russian trolls.
Most subscriber are foreigners from other countries so that makes them the lowest rated media
and the next contestant for Dancing with the Stars….
America: The children play an adults game.
But… She’s a woman… so any criticism means your sexist, right??
