These days, CNN seems caught between two adages: “If you don’t succeed the first time, try, try again” and “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
On Thursday, the network announced that host Dana Bash will be the presenter a Republican presidential town hall with former Vice President Mike Pence on June 7 in Des Moines, Iowa.
Considering that the first town hall didn’t help the CNN rep and that Pence didn’t officially announce his 2024 presidential candidacy (or criticized Trump for allegedly expressing approval of rioters who died on Jan. 6 chanted “Hang Mike Pence” in the US in 2021). Capitol), many Twitter users decided the only sane reaction was ridicule. Pure and plain brutal mockery.
One person wondered if the bow tie that appeared on Pence’s head during the 2020 vice presidential debate would be there for an encore.
And the mockery continued…
After bash said she was looking forward to the event, She was also treated to criticism on Twitter, including one who described her as a “paid shiller working for a right-wing network that prioritizes ratings and profits over the preservation of our democracy.”
But one person chose to support CNN City Hall: former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who praised Pence for not being “afraid to host events on stations that aren’t in step with his.” are ideology”.
According to RealClearPolitics, Among Republicans, Pence is only 4.7%, with the caveat that he has yet to declare his candidacy, which could change before City Hall on June 7.
