CNN isn’t handling President-elect Donald Trump’s win very well.
They had a meltdown about Elon Musk being at Trump’s celebration at Mar-a-Lago, claiming that somehow the two celebrating Thanksgiving at a party was “creepy.” What I think they really meant is that their ratings are imploding, new media is rising, helped by Musk’s X, and they’re mad as heck about it, and they just don’t know how to deal with it.

When you see them lose it like this, you know that what they’re mad about is good.

Their ratings are in the dumper, and Trump is reportedly considering shaking up the White House briefing room and including more independent media. CNN just doesn’t know how to deal with the changes that are coming.
They also couldn’t believe that the Trump team was not going to stand for Democrats trying to interfere with the enforcement of the law when it comes to deporting illegal aliens. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston said that he would stand in the way of the government’s attempt to deport illegal aliens, and he’d be arrested if he had to. The man Trump nominated to be the border czar, Tom Homan, then said that could potentially be breaking the law and that if he did, he would oblige him being arrested. CNN Kasie Hunt’s reaction was something to see.

Oh man, check out, check out Kasie Hunt’s reaction to Homan.

She rolled her eyes and looked stunned and disturbed. That’s guaranteed to become a meme that gets pulled out for their meltdowns in the future.

She then said, “That has some significant and more extreme echoes than some of what we heard from the Trump campaign on the trail.”
But why that reaction? Does CNN not want to enforce the law? That’s what it looks like when they paint the guy enforcing the law as bad or “extreme.” The problem is the guy standing in the way of the enforcement of the law, not Homan. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) painted Johnston’s position as bordering on insurrection, and Johnston later backed off some of his more inflammatory language.

The “extreme” position was the Biden-Harris team dismantling what Trump had put in place and letting in a flood of illegal aliens. The extreme position is not protecting the country and the American people. That’s why the American people have given Trump a mandate to stop it, and that’s why Homan is going to do his job.
CNN is going to have a very tough four years if they’re already reacting like this. Assuming they don’t go under from the bad ratings in the meantime.
