CNN This Morning is on a two-day streak of Dem visitors saying dumb issues.
Yesterday, we caught Chuck Rocha on CNN This Morning saying, “Folks in America are okay with someone throwing a rock” at ICE brokers. Not simply dumb, however doubtlessly placing folks in hurt’s manner by encouraging them to FAFO.
Maybe we will lower Rocha—whose cowboy-hat-wearing shtick is that of Everyman on the Vary—some slack. Chuck nearly bragged of his ignorance and rough-and-tumble upbringing:
“I is probably not an skilled on international coverage or know what is going on on with the White Home each day, however I learn about evading the police since I used to be a teen.”
However Joel Rubin? Along with his highfalutin’ school levels from Brandeis and Carnegie Mellon, and background as a former Deputy Assistant Secretary of State, Rubin ought to know higher
But, on right this moment’s CNN This Morning, Rubin mentioned:
“Renee Good [was] keen on defending her neighbors by civil disobedience, discourse, whatnot. That is authorized.“
Civil disobedience is authorized? By definition, civil disobedience is the breaking of regulation, and the willingness to just accept the results thereof, ostensibly for a better ethical objective. Joel, Joel–what had been you considering?!
Host Audie Cornish additionally received into the act, taking part in a clip of Joe Rogan saying, “Are we actually going to be the Gestapo? The place’s your papers? Is that what we have come to?”
Cornish prefaced the clip by saying it was “not some radical left-wing factor.” And after the clip performed, Audie drove house that time, observing “not MSNBC” [sic, MS NOW.]
Nice level, Audie! MS NOW would possibly air outrageous ICE/Trump analogies to the Gestapo and the Nazis, however CNN is above lending itself to that form of partisan fear-mongering.
Thus, on CNN, you are not going to listen to some screwball saying, apropos Trump’s plans to extend the variety of ICE brokers:
“America has by no means been a papers-please nation earlier than. We affiliate that with the Gestapo, or fascist Italy or the Soviet-era Iron Curtain. And there are lots of people in America who’re going to start out feeling like they should carry their passports and their beginning certificates to go right down to the grocery retailer.”
And definitely, on CNN’s rarefied air, you will not be subjected to the identical agitprop artist, saying of ICE recruitment posters:
“We have seen some very robust white supremacist imagery, akin to what you noticed in Nazi Germany in recruitment adverts from that period.”
Oh, wait. That was Trump-hater supreme Garrett Graff making these statements in two separate appearances on . . . CNN! And the host of the present the place Garrett spewed his bilge was–let’s see–one Audie Cornish!
Here is the transcript.
CNN This Morning
1/14/26
6:04 am ETAUDIE CORNISH: One of many issues that is attention-grabbing to me is how that is perceived by the general public that’s both not MAGA or, you understand, not some radical left factor, however they’re simply watching on social media and seeing the way it’s coming off.
One climate vane for that, Joe Rogan on his podcast on Tuesday. I need to play this for you guys.
JOE ROGAN: We have got to take these folks that received in and ship them again to the place they got here from or do one thing, as a result of if we do not, They’ll maintain doing it in the event that they get in workplace once more in 2028.
After which I can even see the viewpoint of the individuals who say, yeah, however you don’t need militarized folks within the streets, simply roaming round, snatching folks up, lots of which end up to truly be U.S. residents. They only haven’t got their papers on them. Are we actually going to be the Gestapo? The place’s your papers? Is that what we have come to?
JOEL RUBIN: Yeah, properly, look, Audie, we do not have papers. You understand, People do not need a nationwide ID card. I labored on the Hill, and I keep in mind years in the past, Republicans saying that may be in opposition to the ethics of what it means to be an American citizen.
So this concept that by some means Renee Good, by being keen on defending her neighbors by civil disobedience, discourse, whatnot, that is authorized. That is high-quality, that is American.
