CNN's Kasie Hunt Closes the Campaign with Badly Disguised Kamala Commercial


Tom Bevan of Real Clear Politics underlined on Monday how CNN This Morning host Kasie Hunt makes it look like Jeff Zucker never left his command of CNN, and/or that then the scattered forces of Chris "Fair and Balanced" Licht were routed. Kasie's coast-to-coast commercial for Kamala was blatant and shameless: 

After showing positive soundbites of Harris (as if she was a serious church-goer) and negative soundbites of Trump, Hunt proclaimed: 

HUNT: Harris invoking Martin Luther King Jr., Trump closing with more violent rhetoric, raising the specter of reporters being shot and already casting doubt on the election results.

He said there he shouldn't have left in 2020. That is part of a broader strategy that we should be paying attention to in the race's final days.

The New York Times wrote it this way on Sunday: quote, "Former President Donald J. Trump and his allies are rolling out a late-stage campaign strategy that borrows heavily from the subversive playbook he used to challenge his loss four years ago."

Then Hunt replayed Trump denying he lost the election in 2020 and then on to January 6, and disgusting chants of "Hang Mike Pence" -- the surest sign you're watching a Nancy Pelosi-directed advertisement. 

HUNT: Generating that mob relied on thousands of people believing Trump's lie that the election was stolen from him. And now, in 2024, as the Times goes on to right, quote, "Mr. Trump and his most prominent supporters have pointed to partisan pulling and betting markets to claim that he is heading for a, quote, 'crushing victory,' as his top surrogate Elon Musk recently put it. The expectation helps set the stage for disbelief and outrage among his supporters should he lose."

It's been the message behind the scenes, too, with Trump aides and supporters trying to create a sense of inevitability that would raise doubts in the event of a Trump loss.

Then came Hunt touting Kamala-mentum: 

But in the final hours of this presidential race, there are some signs that late momentum could be with Vice President Kamala Harris. The final new "New York Times"/Siena College poll showed the race neck-and-neck in the battlegrounds but found signs that late-deciding voters are breaking for Harris, 55 percent to 44 percent.

And the highly-anticipated and well-respected Iowa poll from Ann Selzer and The Des Moines Register shocking the political world over the weekend with a three-point lead for Kamala Harris over Donald Trump in the ruby-red Hawkeye State. That's a seven-point swing since the last Iowa poll in September.

And right now, Democrats are cautiously optimistic that things are breaking their way.

On CNN, they are always proclaiming that democracy equals Democrat wins, and that Trump represents a mortal threat to America's future. "Facts first" is not the motto.
