In a recent on-air incident, CNN host Kasie Hunt made headlines by cutting off Trump spokesperson Karoline Leavitt’s mic when she brought up the anti-Trump bias of Hunt’s colleagues Jake Tapper and Dana Bash. Hunt, who previously worked at MSNBC, faced backlash for celebrating violence against Senator Rand Paul in 2017. Paul’s wife, Kelley Paul, called out Hunt’s hypocrisy, highlighting her past comments and questioning her credibility.
Hunt’s insistence on respect for her colleagues, despite her own questionable behavior, raises concerns about the double standards in the mainstream media. The reminder from Kelley Paul serves as a timely reality check for those quick to silence dissenting voices. The need for earned respect, as opposed to entitled respect, is a crucial point often overlooked in today’s media landscape.
The lies of @jaketapper and @CNN motivated a man to try to kill as many republicans as possible at the Republican team’s charity baseball practice. He shot six, nearly killing @SteveScalise https://t.co/BsDWa4vpss
