CNN Correspondent Says the Quiet Part Out Loud – Admits Hunter Was Pardoned Out of Fear His Family Would Be Investigated by Trump

Jeff Zeleny, Chief National Affairs Correspondent from CNN, said the quiet part out loud on Sunday night after news broke that Joe Biden had granted Hunter Biden a blanket pardon for any criminal acts he partook in from 2014 to present including, trading influence for cash, trafficking prostitutes, and taking on the role of the Biden Family bagman.

Jeff Zeleny: We were told that this came to a head this weekend, and this is why President Biden decided now to do this. But as Isaac was just saying, that really is a sense of the conversation that has been going on really inside the family.

I’m told this has been very much a family discussion and something that has been not widely shared or discussed as a policy matter inside the West Wing.

But there was a worry of future prosecutions or future the potential of what the incoming Trump Justice Department could do.

So that, of course, is fretted in all of this as well.

But for now, this moment, this certainly is a decision that President Biden, I’m guessing, did not come too easily. But as you played that statement before, so much has changed since June when he told David Muir of ABC News that he would not do that.

Of course, his station in life has changed. Did not complete his campaign. So that is why, leading up to this, that’s why I’m told a decision was reached finally this weekend after spending time together in Nantucket.

Scott Jennings Pulls Hilarious Reversal During Argument About X With Fellow CNN Panelists

If you’re not an X user, I can safely say you’re missing out on a great free speech platform that gives you the news faster than any corporate organization can, and what’s more, it is ideologically balanced, as all good platforms should be. 

Elon Musk’s platform isn’t just a breath of fresh air, it easily changed the conversational landscape and, as a result, affected the political one. As free speech spread, the Democrat Party and the left lost its narrative edge, collapsing multiple attempts to push lies that may very well have shaped public opinion for the worse. 

If you want proof that X is effective enough to shape the people’s opinion, look no further than the fact that CNN talking heads are mad about it. They don’t even want to discuss any positive reporting about it… even if it comes from CNN. 

Scott Jennings was, once again, on a panel taking on his colleagues when the subject of X came up. 

“I saw a survey this week,” Jennings began. “It’s now the most ideologically balanced user platform of any platform.” 

Before he could even finish that sentence, fellow CNN Cari Champion was already trying to shut him down. She attempted to tell him “you cannot say that,” which is actually a phrase you’ll find repeated at Jennings quite often during these back and forths.

Host Audie Cornish asked for a source, causing Champion to ask for one as well, but Jennings, a man who clearly plays 4D chess, was ready with the answer. 

“We’ve reported it on this network,” said Jennings. 

Champion’s only recourse was to say that CNN’s reporting on X was “not accurate.” 

Cornish didn’t let Jennings speak again, though he was clearly ready to, but you can see just how radical the leftists on the panel were when the question was posed if they would worry if Bill Gates bought MSNBC, to which Champion responded “no, because he’s sane.”

O’Keefe Scores Victory in 11th Circuit of Appeals Against CNN in Defamation Case

James O’Keefe has scored a significant victory in his ongoing legal battle against CNN, with a ruling in his favor from the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. This victory comes after three years, thousands of miles traveled, and nearly a million dollars in legal fees in his defamation case against the network.

In 2021 when CNN’s Ana Cabrera falsely accused Project Veritas (PV) of promoting misinformation on Twitter, leading to a suspension of the organization’s account. This defamatory claim was based on a misrepresentation of the facts—PV’s Twitter suspension was not for spreading misinformation, but for publishing truthful, yet supposedly private, information. Cabrera’s statement contradicted a prior CNN report which acknowledged the true reason for the suspension.

The defamation suit aimed to hold CNN accountable for these false claims that directly impacted PV’s reputation. Despite an initial unfavorable ruling from a federal judge in Georgia, who dismissed the lawsuit, O’Keefe and his legal team refused to back down.

The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals sided with O’Keefe, acknowledging that Cabrera’s statement was not only false, but materially false. The court also found that the statement had the potential to harm the reputation of Project Veritas. This ruling was a crucial step forward in the battle for truth in media, and it sent a strong message that news organizations cannot simply disregard the truth and misrepresent the facts without facing legal consequences.

Judge Ed Carnes, concurring in the decision, highlighted the absurdity of CNN’s defense, pointing out that a major news organization was essentially downplaying the importance of truth in its broadcasts. “If you stay on the bench long enough, you see a lot of things. Still, I never thought I’d see a major news organization downplaying the importance of telling the truth in its broadcasts,” said Carnes.

CNN Freaks Out Over Trump Making RFK Jr. HHS Chief

CNN freaked out over President-elect Donald Trump making RFK Jr. Secretary of Health and Human Services, with Jake Tapper accusing Kennedy of engaging in “quackery”.

Announcing Kennedy would head up the post on Truth Social, Trump asserted that it was a victory for Americans who have been “crushed by the industrial food complex and drug companies.”

Trump added that Kennedy “will restore these Agencies to the traditions of Gold Standard Scientific Research, and beacons of Transparency, to end the Chronic Disease epidemic, and to Make America Great and Healthy Again!”

This caused heads to explode at CNN, with Tapper raging that RFK was “somebody who has been pushing quackery, who has been pushing lies, who has been pushing conspiracy theories.”

CNN Analyst: Trump’s Victory Was So Massive He “Broke History”

CNN’s data analyst Harry Enten did a deep dive into the gains president Trump made with specific demographics in the election, highlighting how crushing they were for Democrats.

The numbers are truly astounding, and incredibly bad for the party of ‘joy.’

Enter pointed out that Trump made the greatest improvements over a previous presidential election performance from the same party since 1992.

“When was the last time a party gained in so many different places?” Enten asked, explaining that “You have to go all the way to back to 1992 when Bill Clinton improved on Michael Dukakis’ performance in 49 states, plus the District of Columbia.”

“Donald Trump’s performance on Tuesday was the best for a Republican presidential candidate in exit poll history,” Enten further urged, adding “He literally goes all the way back through history and breaks history.”

BRUTAL: CNN Hosts Absolutely Silent as Democrat Strategist Delivers Some ‘Hard Truths’ to Her Party 

Democrat strategist Julie Roginsky appeared on CNN this morning and delivered some tough but fair comments to members of her party.

According to her, the problem was not Joe Biden or even Kamala Harris, but the party itself which has gone so far left that average Americans don’t even understand their language anymore.

If you watch the video below, you may agree with some of the things that Roginsky says about the Democrats.

Dem strategist delivers scorching reality check to her own side after Harris’ loss: ‘Not party of common sense’

Democratic strategist Julie Roginsky issued “some hard truths” about Donald Trump’s historic election win during a CNN segment Thursday, claiming her own side is “not the party of common sense” and can’t talk to normal people.

“I’m going to speak some hard truths to my friends in the Democratic Party. This is not Joe Biden’s fault. It’s not Kamala Harris’ fault. It’s not Barack Obama’s fault — it is the fault of the Democratic Party in not knowing how to communicate effectively to voters,” she said.

“We are not the party of common sense, which is the message that voters sent to us.”

She argued against addressing Latinos as the Latinx because “it makes them think that we don’t even live in the same planet as they do.”

“When we are too afraid to say, ‘Hey college kids, if you’re trashing a campus at Columbia University because you’re unhappy about some sort of policy and you’re taking over a university and you’re trashing it, preventing other students from learning, that that is unacceptable,’”…

CNN’s Acosta On Nevada Mail-In Ballot Issues: ‘Young People Don’t Know How To Sign Their Name’

CNN anchor Jim Acosta discussed an election issue in Las Vegas, Nevada, where over 13,000 people across the state who voted by mail will have to verify their identities in order for their votes to count.

According to the news anchor, “a lot of young voters don’t know how to sign their names,” saying state officials are texting the individuals for verification or else their votes won’t be counted.

The issue is strange, as even young people surely know how to sign their own names, but it’s also suspicious that AP News says “younger voters” have slightly shifted towards Trump in the 2024 election.

CNN Contributor Jonah Goldberg Retracts Statement After Misleading Voters with Erroneous ‘Execution’ Remark on Trump’s Cheney Comments

Another day, another hoax. The mainstream media’s relentless campaign to misrepresent former President Donald Trump has reached new heights.

In a Friday appearance on CNN, so-called conservative pundit Jonah Goldberg falsely claimed that Trump suggested a firing squad execution for former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.).

President Trump had criticized Cheney’s hawkish foreign policy views during an interview with Tucker Carlson on Thursday, condemning her stance on “endless wars.” At no point did Trump imply or suggest any such violent intentions toward Cheney—he merely called her out for her support of prolonged conflicts.

Goldberg, however, attacked Trump with an inflammatory conclusion, saying, “I don’t think you even need to call it fire-up on. He’s saying quite explicitly and unambiguously that Liz Chenney should be shot, should be executed by a firing squad. That is appalling. It is a small facet of the reasons why he’s unfit for office, and the Republican Party has made a disastrous mistake renominating him.”

TROUBLE IN PARADISE: Kamala Harris Gets Destroyed by CNN Panel Over Catastrophic Town Hall While Triggered Libs Unleash on ‘Entitled White Male’ Host Anderson Cooper

The reviews for Kamala Harris’s performance during last night’s town hall are coming in, and they are not pretty. Meanwhile, liberal fans of the flailing presidential candidates are turning their ire on one of their own for being too ‘mean’ to Harris.

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Harris participated in a CNN town hall for undecided voters on Wednesday night. She fell apart completely under surprisingly tough questions from liberal host Anderson Cooper.

In one particularly embarrassing moment, Harris was reduced to a blubbering mess when pressed on the subject of the border crisis and the idea of a border wall.

CNN Insists Gov’t NOT ‘Deliberately Steering Hurricanes’ Toward Pro-Trump Areas in ‘Plot to Steal Election’

CNN ran a segment attempting to discredit speculation that the U.S. government may have steered recent hurricanes toward “Trump-supporting communities” in a bid to sway the upcoming election.

CNN’s Kaitlin Collins explained that chatter on social media was giving rise to an “old conspiracy theory” and “lie” that the government is manipulating the weather in the wake of Hurricanes Helene and Milton that have decimated Trump-leaning portions of Southeastern states.

“It was mostly confined to the fringe corners of the internet. The theory goes that the government controls the weather by dropping toxic chemicals from the sky in these trails that planes leave behind. It does not. Those trails are just water vapor,” Collins argued on Friday.
