The people over at CNN were sent into a tailspin during Nick Sandmann’s speech at the Republican National Convention.
At the beginning of the year, Sandmann settled his defamation lawsuit with CNN for a respectable $275 million after the media outlet irresponsibly smeared the then-high school student’s name.
CNN’s opinion writer Jeff Yang took to social media and targeted Sandmann saying, “I watched your speech tonight at the #RNCConvention2020 with an open mind, thinking I might hear something that would convince me of your position that you were an innocent victim of a cruel media. I was disappointed, but not surprised, to hear otherwise.”
“You could have reiterated those things and extended a branch of peace to Mr. Phillips, a Marine veteran as you have noted, in the course of affirming that you meant no harm then or now and that you hope the lesson people take is not to judge books by their cover,” Yang added. “Instead you framed Phillips as a malevolent aggressor, called the incident a calculated assault by the “radical left,” and celebrated Trump as the patron saint of truth, honesty, and media balance – a remarkable position to take even if you didn’t close with a MAGA red-hat flourish.”
Yang wasn’t the only one to lose his cool. CNN host and political analyst, Joe Lockhart, was also triggered.
He posted on Twitter, “I’m watching tonight because it’s important. But I don’t have to watch this snot now entitled kid from Kentucky.”
Sounds like some people at CNN are still a litter bitter.
