In this episode of THIS... Is CNN.. THE Most Trusted Name in News...
With the liberal lapdog media's hilarious idolization of Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris near complete, CNN "This Morning" host Kasie Hunt kicked it up a notch or ten, gushing over how "beautiful" Harris is to the point of slobbering buffoonery.
During the adulatory segment, Hunt also played a clip of Donald Trump ripping the recent Time Magazine cover of Harris while at the same time bragging about "how much better looking" he is than Kamala.

So what did Donald say that worked poor Kasie into such a lather? Here we go:
Time magazine doesn't have a picture of her. They have this unbelievable artist drawing her. But I say that I am much better looking than her. I think I'm much better. Much better. I'm a better-looking person than Kamala. They said no, her biggest advantage is that she's a beautiful woman.
Hardly a surprise from Trump — and beautifully played. Here's the thing.
Anyone who's paid even passing attention to Donald Trump since at least as far back as his 2016 presidential campaign announcement at Trump Tower knows that he's "always" the best, the best looking, the smartest, the biggest, the most successful, "like nothing you've ever seen" — the whole shtick. I mean, it irritated me for years — until I finally bought into the notion that the guy at heart is a showman. Does that reality help or hurt him? A bit of both, I believe.
Either way, the best part is the liberal media's histrionic fits in response.
Hunt turned to political advisor Mark McKinnon for reaction to Trump's comments about Harris.
I've got to start with you, because of course what Trump was reacting to there, it's a very specific example in a broader universe of just how people are dealing with Kamala Harris right now. The excitement here, he was technically responding to a Peggy Noonan column that was at the beginning of August, where Noonan says she is beautiful. You can't take a bad picture of her, her beauty plus the social warmth that all who have known over the years speak of combines to produce radiance. And it's foolish to believe that this doesn't matter.
But it really kind of puts the, this race into sharp relief.
How does hopelessly biased political predisposition put "this race into sharp relief?"
McKinnon, of course, had the answer Hunt was looking for. (Emphasis, mine.)
It's the greatest and latest example of just how unprepared he is to deal with with Kamala Harris. Peggy Noonan, by the way, who [was] Reagan's speechwriter and [is] a terrific columnist, has had another great line about what's happening here. And when she said, it's not so much that Kamala Harris created a movement as a movement created her.
Huh? Although, on second thought, McKinnon was more right than wrong about a movement creating Harris — albeit perhaps not the way he intended. Kamala Harris is intellectually vacant. She's economically illiterate. She makes chameleons look stubbornly obdurate. Her breathtaking flip-flops are sights to behold. Have I made my point clear?
Former Biden White House Communications Director Kate Beningfield then contrasted — as she sees it — what the country is going to see from Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, among other speakers at the DNC on Monday night, with what she says the country sees from Donald Trump.
Tonight you're going to see some of the elder statesmen and the kind of pillars of the Democratic party. A dramatic contrast with where the Republican party is right now, which is, the majority of people who have served under Donald Trump not willing to endorse him. I mean, you have a Republican party that is fractured, that is reeling.
You have Donald Trump making arguments about who's more attractive. Because if there's one thing that a swing voter in Pennsylvania really cares out, it's, you know, is Donald Trump more attractive than Kamala Harris? That's what that's like, keeping them up at night while they're grappling with who to vote for.
But Hunt wouldn't let the Noonan column go:
Well, it does. Peggy Noonan goes on to say, it does matter. So many in this male-dominated profession have taken to Botox fillers, dermabrasions, facelifts, and all the cosmetic things. Is what she wrote! Because they're in a cosmetic profession.
Wow, Kasie — superficial enough? Imagine for a nanosecond the reaction in the lapdog media if a conservative pundit had written anything even close to that about Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama, or Princess Kamala.
Incidentally, in November 2019, during Kamala's tenure as California Attorney General, the father of a former Harris intern wrote an op-ed for The Union newspaper in which he said his son, Gregory, had an "eye-opening experience" working for her that "none of us expected."
Senator Harris vocally throws around ‘F-bombs’ and other profanity constantly in her berating of staff and others. The staff is in complete fear of her and she uses her profanity throughout the day. As Attorney General, Senator Harris instructed her entire staff to stand every morning as she entered the office and say, ‘Good Morning General.' Gregory was also given instructions to never address Harris nor look her in the eye as that privilege was only allowed to senior staff members.
Man, how beautiful is that?
