Andrew Yang doesn’t exist in CNN polls but they sure can pull his crying footage. WTF CNN?
CNN doesn’t want Yang. He makes too much sense to them.
@Cherie Cullum did I stutter muthafucka? Outperforming is exactly what I said and exactly what President Trump is doing. Do your part though and keep crying about politics.
@Far Left Radicalized White Supremacy Liberal what an ignorant sucker. I bet you lack a high school diploma. Now go have that tRump sandwich, white bread, full of baloney, with a small pickle on the side. I’m sure u can relate…the small pickle
Mike Hunt it would seem that way to a person who has no empathy and who has no child the age of the woman who lost her little boy. YOU should be crying for Trump screwing you every day. But again, if you don’t have the sense to know it……
Barry Chen 👍
You know he was pulling his Yang on that setup…
There’s no crying in baseball
There’s no crying if you have balls !

@michaelthemovieman you got a tiny penis rage, huh?
All you cuntservative lizard people are fully aware President Babyrapist is going to jail, hence the crybaby victim act
@michaelthemovieman Anyone who wants someone to die in a mass shooting needs to be in a mental hospital. PERIOD. Get some help dude. Your hate will only cause pain for you and everyone around you.
There’s also crying at CNN and MSNBC.
The 2016 election night coverage is still to this day the most fantastic, revealing, genuinely out of script TV moment in history.
What’s revealing about it? That they didn’t like trump? The revealing thing is the thing you already knew.
Yes. Indeed. Very revealing. Racism is alive and well. Racists could stand the first black president and got out of their way in order to elect the most racist person they could find.
Daniela, you are brainwashed.
Daniela, people who voted for Obama twice (twice) voted for Trump. Trump flipped States that voted blue for 40+ years. The people voted for Obama in 2008 because they were sick and tired of the Washington Establishment but Obama was only an empty puppet, an empty promess.. He pushed the same agenda, proceeded to carpetb*mb 7 more countries, rebranded the RomneyCare for ObamaCare, tried to fast track the TPP, etc, etc, etc.
Yes, Chris! More humanity, not less, from our politicians! #HumanityFirst #YangGang #Yang2020
Chris Cillizza the inbred NEVER has any facts!!!!
Yeah ! CROCODILE TEARS !🐊🐊🐊🐊🐊
You nailed it.
apparently this rule applies to journalism too. Isn’t that right Camerota and Victor Blackwell?
Things are really getting weird😂
Libatards crying and yelling at the sky when Trump won the election was PRICELESS!!!
@Roger Out oh oh… Responding back because you know my comment about you crying after the election was true? Hahahahaha! Get ready for 2020
@DeShawn Brayboy never gonna happen you silly plantation squatter
Yeah maybe we f*cking did because Trump is f*cking the world up. BTW if you’re in the US, he uses your tax money to fly to Scotland and play on his golf course.
@sam ridges oh it will, and you’re gonna so pissed that you were persuaded by Russians.
Just like Dave Chappelle says ” if you cry alot, that means you’re a sissy Cowardly faqqot” and guess who cries alot, it’s CNN Fake News reporters and the liberal democrats. Watch Dave Chappelle special on Netflix it’ll help fight these faqqots and make them triggered alot.
Roger Out – quit being such a triggered crybaby faqqot.
Dave chappellee never said this bot
Completely misunderstand Dave chappelles comedy smh
YES !!!!! There is, The radical left cries all the time. Just watch, they cry constantly.
And why do you think we cry?
These Socialist should be crying. They don’t stand a chance in hell of winning.
And it’s all by cucked Democrats who are eternal children who throw a temper tantrum/cause mass shootings when they don’t get what they want.
Libtards cry a lot because the soy runs thru their veins like Kamala Hairass runs thru penises on the way up the ladder!
There is also crying in “news.”. Look at Richard Madcow.
lol – Remember when Mueller proved Trump wasn’t a Russian like MSNBC (and others) kept telling people for years and that soulless hack cried?? That was priceless!
MAGA! Vote Trump 2020 & KAG!
Kindergarten kids cry when their Halloween candy is taken, Politicians just look weak and gutted.
