Bath Time: The Text Messages That Killed, The Spelling Bee Interview From Hell

Font Size:

B-U-L-L-Y-I-N-G, Bullying – That’s what CNN hosts Alisyn Camerota and Chris Cuomo did to 12-year-old Indian-American Ananya Vinay, the 2017 Scripps National Spelling Bee champion.

While on the show last Friday, the duo asked Vinay — who grew up in Fresno but is Indian American — to spell Trump’s invented word, “covfefe.”

Vinay asked for the definition and language of origin. Camerota replied, “A nonsense word made up by the 45th president of the United States in a late-night tweet,” and “gibberish.”

Camerota and Cuomo, clearly amused by the young girl’s confusion, treated her accomplishment like a game of Tic-Tac-Toe.

Pushing racial boundaries, Camerota added, “So we’re not sure its root is in Sanskrit, which is what you’re probably used to using.”

Making fun of a 12-year-olds race? Not very nice. The entire world shook their heads in disapproval of the pair’s racist and distasteful actions. That’s three X’s, CNN. Watch the whole exchange here.

Fired FBI Director James Comey has President Trump on edge – My palms would be sweating too if my fate was in the hands of one man’s testimony.

Comey will testify this Thursday on Russia’s possible involvement in the 2016 election at what CNN calls “Washington’s Super Bowl.”

After braving the storm of endless criticism for his London attack tweets, President Trump faces more dark clouds ahead.

No one really knows what to expect of Comey’s testimony, but it seems like it can’t possibly live up to the hype the media has built over these past few days.

The one thing we do know is Comey has nothing to lose, which is why he poses such a threat.

“Comey might be one of the few people over whom Trump has zero leverage. He cannot fire Comey again, nor threaten him,” Jennifer Rubin of the Washington Post said.

It seems to me that the media just wants to see Trump tremble, but time will tell. Read more of what CNN says to expect here.

WILDCARD STORY…Technology blurs the lines of the law – If you’re not physically with someone at his time of death does that mean you can’t commit manslaughter?

That’s what 20-year-old Michelle Carter’s attorney is trying to prove at her trial today.

Carter was charged with indirect manslaughter for encouraging her then 18-year-old boyfriend, Conrad Roy III, to commit suicide three years ago.

Roy was battling depression and suicidal thoughts when he turned to his girlfriend for support. The couple exchanged not one, but hundreds of text messages over several days. Carter not only urged Roy’s suicide by carbon monoxide poisoning, but guilted him for delaying it.

“So I guess you aren’t gonna do it then, all that for nothing … I’m just so confused like you were so ready and determined,” Carter said.

“Just go somewhere in your truck. And no one’s really out right now because it’s an awkward time,” she persisted.

In the car with him or not, Carter influenced Roy’s decision and with a growing number of texters, this is sure to become a landmark decision. Here’s more about this unusual case.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
