CNN is taking heat for its town hall event with former President Donald Trump.
Roughly 20 minutes into the program, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) tweeted, “CNN should be ashamed of themselves. They have lost total control of this ‘town hall’ to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim.”
“The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host,” she added.
At the beginning of the event, CNN’s Kaitlan Collins noted he had not publicly acknowledged that he lost the 2020 election.
She asked, “Why should Americans put you back in the White House?”
“I think that when you look at that result and when you look at what happened during that election, unless you’re a very stupid person, you see what happens,” Trump responded.
He added, “That was a rigged election and it’s a shame that we had to go through it. It’s very bad for our country, all over the world they looked at it and they saw exactly what everyone else saw.”
