CNN Melts Down Over Uncommitted Voters

With over 100,000 Democrats voting against Biden in Michigan, CNN is desperately searching for someone to blame

On Tuesday night in Michigan, Democratic voters told their party what they think of President Biden when 100,000 of them voted Uncommitted in the primary. In one of the most important swing states, this is a problem for the Dems.

Which means CNN is swinging into action to defend their leader, seeing how hard they can point their fingers in a desperate attempt to lay blame on anyone but Genocide Joe. Anderson Cooper, Van Jones, and others joined the parade, refusing to believe that Biden’s support of Israel’s assault on Gaza has anything to do with the protest vote.

Our pick for best finger-pointer is Van Jones, who explains that Black voters aren’t making their own decisions about which candidates they prefer, but that foreign governments like Russia, China, and Iran are fooling them away from Biden. This from the news network that claims to be different from the racism of Fox News.

When they’re not pointing fingers, however, their hands are clearly busy covering their ears, as the protesters in Michigan couldn’t have been clearer what their message was. But this is no surprise, as after the self-immolation of 25-year-old US Airman Aaron Bushnell, who proclaimed “Free Palestine! I will no longer be complicit in genocide,” the New York Times, CNN, MSNBC and friends couldn’t for the life of them seem to figure out what his protest was about.

But MSNBC’s Andrea Mitchell, who pretended that Bushnell was protesting the “Israel-Hamas war,” did inform viewers of the number for the suicide hotline. There’s no low they won’t cross to cover up a genocide.
