The corpse of the domestic news industry continues to fester on CNN where the network has truly outdone itself this time.
CNN has been mired in conspiracy-mongering and race-baiting for years but a new low has just been achieved when Brooke Baldwin chatted with hip hop artist Charlamagne tha God who has a history of misogynist and racist lyrics and comments.
The rapper and radio host whose real name is Lenard Larry McKelvey wasted no time in throwing down the race card which has become the stock in trade of the left and is routinely bandied about by CNN hosts like Don Lemon.
But then McKelvey made a hateful, ignorant and ridiculous statement that President Trump will put black people in cages.
In the days before propaganda and hatemongering dominated the media, such an outlandish comment would have elicited shock and possibly even a condemnation from the host but Baldwin not only gave a racist a pass but actually appeared to AGREE with him.
THIS IS OFF THE CHAIN:
When the issue of how much that Trump and his economic policies have helped the black community which is experiencing record-high employment, the angry rich celeb bigot expounded:
“I feel like the soul of the country is at stake in 2020,” he said. “And you know, I don’t want to be under a fascist regime. Because the truth of the matter is that when you end up with the regime of a fascist, the person that’s going to be affected the most—it’s going to be black and brown people because we always get the short end of the stick in America. I don’t want to be under a regime like that.”
“When you look at someone like Trump, it’s like okay, who’s next to be in those cages? It’s not going to be people that look like you,” he continued, pointing at Baldwin. “It’s probably going to be people that look like me. So, jobs aren’t enough.”
Then Baldwin who is the anchor of “CNN Newsroom” not only didn’t call him on the B.S. but nodded her head and moved on to another question.
McKelvey who hosts the nationally syndicated The Breakfast Club may hate President Trump but his antipathy toward white people crosses party lines.
Charlamagne tha God also ripped stumbling, bumbling Democrat frontrunner Joe Biden for his “white privilege” and all but called out Barack Obama’s former vice president as a racist who has as much disdain for black people as the host does for whites.
There was once a day when CNN was a legitimate news outlet and a world-renowned one at that but those days are long gone.
