You’ll Never Believe The Dumb Things That SHOCK CNN’s Chris CilliZzzza

CNN politics reporter Chris Cillizza may be the most easily shocked man in Washington. In a BuzzFeed-esque post Friday, he named the “25 most shocking lines from Donald’s Trump [sic] interview with Laura Ingraham.”

First of all, the headline is all fucked up:

 

 

Secondly, does Donald own his own interview?

Are “Donald” and “Trump” two different people?

And why is a reporter referring to a sitting president by his first name?

Would Cillizza have written, “10 shocking lines from Barack Obama” as opposed to “President Obama?” Or former Presidents Bill Clinton, George Bush and so on. The answer is: not a chance.

In his first graf, he dings Trump for not being presidential enough. He writes that Trump “generally comported himself in ways that no one would mistake for presidential behavior.”

So let’s get down to what Cillizza, who generally comports himself in ways that no one would mistake for unbiased journalism, found SHOCKING. (RELATED: CNN Correspondent Kisses His Kids On the Lips)

Trump said there was “beautiful weather.” The CNN-er goes on to be shocked that Trump again says the weather is “pretty beautiful.” Unlike how Cillizza framed it, Trump is not taking credit for Mother Nature. (Not that that’s beneath him, but he didn’t do it in this interview.)

Moving on, Cillizza is shocked that Trump bashes House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who has reportedly been saying she wants the president in prison. He calls her a “nasty, vindictive, horrible person.” He also calls her “Nervous Nancy.” These two shockers are right on par for what Trump would say about anyone who wanted to imprison him.

Cillizza once again scolds Trump for saying these things at Normandy: “Said the President of the United States about the speaker of the US House in a foreign country with thousands of grave markers in the background of this TV shot.”

During his interview with Ingraham, Trump goes on to call Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer “Crying Schumer” and a “political jerk.” Again, not too surprising. He has mocked Schumer’s crying before.

Number 24 has Trump boasting about the United States being “the best” and “the strongest.” Nothing to see here, really.

And finally, Cillizza is just SHOCKED that Trump would brag about his time with Queen Elizabeth, suggesting that “some” said they’ve never seen the Queen have a better time.

Good Morning Britain host Piers Morgan actually did suggest this, saying she was probably more amused with Trump than the other political bores she has to encounter. “I think the Queen rather likes President Trump,” Morgan tweeted earlier in the week. “Bet he makes her laugh more than most of the dreary politicians she has to meet.”

This is as good a time as any to point out that Cillizza once wrote “The 26 wildest lines from Donald Trump’s Daily Caller interview.” Here’s that interview so you can see how WILD it was.

Memo to Cillizza: Trump self-boasting is not abnormal for him.

He’s been doing it for decades.

But right, we’re all having heart attacks because it’s just so SHOCKING.

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.
