Hey, Chris here — on a scale of one to 10, what is your approval rating for Congress?
😜 0
1
CNN let me know when they show up for work ! How is it me, a construction worker is essential and Nancy Pelosi doesn’t show up for work ?
Absolutely insane !
Also insane ? If you call Trump a racist one more time and don’t mention Bidens voting record on segregation or how ” Joe’s ” law has put tens of thousands of people away for decades for marijuana.
But, by all means leave Racist out of Bidens description !
That makes sense ……
said : no one at all !
Biden is a career politician who hasn’t done a damn thing in 40+ years of being in DC
CNN Chris you get a 0
1.1 which is higher then I would give CNN
I haven’t seen any changes same old fighting like there wasn’t a virus i don’t know where CNN is getting that congress has changed
Lv. The situation is what has changed. November is when WE change it, and “same old fighting”? Look at these comments and tell me our gov. doesn’t represent us
Exactly!
Fake news at it again??

I thought CONGRESS would be more united because of the VIRUS , but they got more SEPARATED
Flavius Stilicho do you even know what fascism is?
@Flavius Stilicho Haha everyone is a facist
@Flavius Stilicho The fascists are the people who want to take away our constitutional rights. That would include every democrat.

hcq+zinc does work for early stage treatment, but majority of media never discuss,NIH Va study don’t use zinc on purpose or vitamin d
lotarus wing this has not been clinically proven in a scientific double blind study.
They waited until those patients were terminal before they treated them. It was rigged to fail. HCQ with zinc and zpak works. Period. Zelenko is publishing his study any day. He is working with german scientists so that it will be bulletproof, since the media and big pharma will do everything they can to destroy it. This cheap treatment is costing big pharma billions😀
@Janet Airlines because german medicine is the best in the world. it can do anything.
Democrats are trying to spread Cuomo-19 from new York!
Bud Fudlacker wow that was some statement lemming.
Get some help
“Gums up the works”- is that a technical dental term, Chris? 😂
CONGRESS WAS ALWAYS CORRUPTED, THEY’RE NOW SHOWING THEIR TRUE COLORS.

Look at WHAT voted for these IDIOTS? 😫
@Plant en isøkse i nakken på en panser , Your comment was somewhat doltish!
American Democracy: where 20% approval is a laudable job well done
Stfu
How the COVID has turned Congress even more corrupt🙄!
I didn’t think it was possible
Cordova, Congress has been 100% corrupt for decades!
On a scale of 1-10.. Chris has ZERO testosterone or displays male traits 0️⃣
♿NPC-COVID19 gfys
*1-10…* That is actually around the same number of how many people watch CNN!
Sorry liberals, you are not taking my AR-15 or my 2nd Amendment! 🇺🇸#TRUMP2020🇺🇸
This should read how the house changed Congress during a pandemic for the benefit of the left
Let’s ask how cnn went from the standard in journalism to a bottom feeding sleazy gossip rag that only leans one way democrat. You don’t report news you sell hate fear under the guise of “news”.
Has anybody noticed how CNN deprives their viewers of the daily briefing, as well as ceremonies and other things from the White House? Partisan fake news at its best.
