Democrats hate nothing more than Donald Trump. And after his CNN town hall, one Democrat went completely off the rails.
And this House Democrat had an unhinged meltdown on camera you have to see.
Everyone in the political world was taken by surprise when CNN announced it would have Donald Trump on for tell all town hall.
Many on the Left side of the aisle said that CNN had betrayed them by giving Trump a platform.
While conservatives reveled in Trump’s humiliation of the Leftist media outlet.
But some Democrats went off the deep end.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez stated on Wednesday evening, in reaction to former President Donald Trump’s town hall session with CNN, that the leftist outlet was “manipulated” into “platforming election disinformation” by hosting the leading Republican 20204 presidential candidate.
“CNN should be ashamed of themselves,” tweeted Ocasio-Cortez.
This falls squarely on CNN. Everyone here saw exactly what was going to happen. Instead they put a sexual abuse victim in harm’s way for views. This was a choice to platform lies about the election & Jan 6th w/ no plan but to have their moderator interrupted without consequence.

“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,” she added.
During the discussion, Trump responded to an audience member’s question by saying that he would stop discussing election fraud on the campaign trail “unless I see election fraud.”
“If I see election fraud, I think I have an obligation to say it,” he added.
Trump also indicated that on January 5, 2021, the day before the Capitol riot, he informed his followers to be peaceful and assist Capitol police and law enforcement.

In response to a question about the E Jean Carroll ruling, which found Trump liable for battery but not liable for rape, and whether voters thought it would disqualify him from being president, Trump said, “Well, there aren’t too many of them because my poll numbers just came out—they went up.”

Ocasio-Cortez went on to say, “The audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host.” The Saint Anselm College audience in Manchester, New Hampshire, was made up of Republican and undecided voters.
“This falls squarely on CNN. Everyone here saw exactly what was going to happen. Instead they put a sexual abuse victim in harm’s way for views. This was a choice to platform lies about the election & Jan 6th w/ no plan but to have their moderator interrupted without consequence,” she added.
At the beginning of the town hall event, host Kaitlan Collins said, “no questions are off the table and we agreed to no conditions.”
Human Events Daily host Jack Posobiec responded to AOC, saying: “Get your hankies ready, Sandy. 2016 is happening again.”

“AOC is RAGING that CNN has given a primetime platform to President Trump to remind the American people just how popular and refreshing his policies and approach actually are, and just how horrible Joe Biden’s presidency actually is,” wrote Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
