In an amazing example of just how out of touch they were with the American people Tuesday, CNN prefaced the release of their very positive State of the Union reaction poll by claiming it wasn’t representative of the nation. “It’s not representative of the country overall it is a poll of people who watched the speech. Well, who watches a State of the Union address? Fans of the person giving it,” declared Political Director David Chalian.
After coming back from a commercial break host Wolf Blitzer was eager to get to CNN’s polling data and even more eager to discredit the poll as nothing special. “We’re now getting the first results of our instant poll of people who actually watched the President’s speech. David Chalian our political director is here, give us the numbers and give us the explanation that this is not necessarily a national poll,” he announced.
Chalian was quick to point out that more Republicans were probably watching than Democrats. “So it is definitely an audience that skews a little bit more towards Republicans than Democrats in the Obama years it was the reverse,” he asserted before giving the very positive results. – READ MORE
[give_form id=”79809″] [divider][/divider]Things were getting a little too patriotic for Democrats’ comfort during President Donald Trump’s widely popular State of the Union address on Tuesday night. When chants of “USA” erupted in the House chamber, Democratic lawmakers were visibly uncomfortable, many quickly looking for the exit when the speech was completed.
And there were plenty of leftist hot-takes on Twitter, too, over the chant. CNN’s Sally Kohn, for instance, made her extreme discomfort with the “fear mongering” tactic known, while laughably underscoring how patriotic she is.
I am a patriot and I love my country but the way people have been chanting "USA" lately, especially in response to nationalist hate mongering, sends chills down my spine.
