A new media low has been hit, and that is saying something for CNN.
During a panel discussion with Don Lemon, he, along with his fellow panel members mocked Trump supporters as some type of uneducated, redneck hillbillies with no sense at all.
Crossing the Line
CNN went down this path in 2016, as did the entire Democrat party.
They act as though every supporter of Donald Trump is some backwoods hillbilly that does not have a clue.
They don’t seem to understand we are small business owners, educated, military veterans, law enforcement, and every other walk of life you can imagine.
It makes them feel good to think we are sheep being led to the slaughter by some type of cult leader.
Watch this discussion and if you are able to keep your keyboard in one piece after you watch it, it will be a miracle…
America, this is what CNN thinks of you…

Calling Out CNN
The backlash on social media was immediate.
Trump supporters showed up in force noting that CNN is stoking divide, not helping with this type of behavior.
Both President Trump and First Daughter Ivanka also chimed in…
Don Lemon, the dumbest man on television (with terrible ratings!). https://t.co/iQXCc7lvCt

You consistently make fun of half the country and then complain that it is divided.
The arrogance, mocking accents and smug ridicule of this nation’s ‘Real Elites’ is disgusting. https://t.co/p3RQzymx4s

Trump campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh also made a statement…
This is a real segment from an actual program on a cable news network that asks to be taken seriously.
Not subtle message to huge parts of America: THEY HATE YOU.

Here are some of the other reactions to the clip…
The arrogance, the dismissiveness, the smug cackling, the accents.
If Donald Trump wins re-election this year, I’ll remember this brief CNN segment late one Saturday night in January as the perfect encapsulation for why it happened. pic.twitter.com/8kQ6zN9AZV

This isn't disdain or disagreement. What Wajahat, Don, & Rick showed was a disrespect, hatred, & mockery for their fellow man who disagree. I don't want to hear @JakeTapper, @andersoncooper, @BrianStelter, @ChrisCuomo, or anyone on @CNN lecture about their higher level of decency https://t.co/h47wnkcUCF

More Proof that CNN is utter trash, and hates half the country.

This is a MUST WATCH clip. @donlemon and his guests trash conservatives as illiterate hillbillies who can't figure out a map.
Never forget, THIS is what the liberal "elites" think of you. pic.twitter.com/dN6wu4eEIg

CNN can no longer preach to anyone about being unbiased or decorum because this was simply inexcusable.
They are literally mocking half the country, not to mention the president of the United States.
We will see who has the last laugh come election day, though.
