CNN Guest Drops ā€˜Nā€™ Word in Live, On-Air Smear of Bannon
lifezette ^ | 11/22/16 | Edmund Kozak

CNN anchor Brooke Baldwin asserted on Tuesday that Bannon and Breitbart support the Nazi salute and white supremacy. “What about Steve Bannon … and Breitbart, the most prominent platform for what we just showed,” Baldwin said, referring to clips of attendees at a conference organized by National Policy Institute (NPI) President Richard B. Spencer raising their arms in what most recognize at the Nazi salute.

While the NPI is a white nationalist think tank, and Spencer himself identifies as such, he and his organization have absolutely nothing to do with Bannon.

Neither Bannon nor Breitbart has given a platform to Spencer or his organization, nor do they endorse white nationalism or white supremacy. The idea that Breitbart, an organization which employs several prominent Jewish conservatives, in any way condones neo-Nazism in any form is utterly ridiculous.

As preposterous as Baldwin’s statements were, they followed author and former New York Times journalist Charles Kaiser’s claim that Bannon used the N-word. Apparently wishing to be offensive as possible, Kaiser made no effort to censor the offensive word and said it live, on the air.

"If you don't want to support the Alt-Right, don't choose as a White House counselor a man who uses the word n****r," author Charles Kaiser said, referring to Bannon. "Wow," a visibly shocked Baldwin responded.

...

A quick search by LifeZette has found that no such quote with the word attributed to Bannon exists, and there is no evidence he has ever used the word.

Despite the outrageous assertion, CNN, as of 4:15 p.m. Tuesday, ran no on-air correction to clarify that there is no public evidence Bannon has ever used the offensive slur.

Much of the MSM will run with it, as if they were facts.

They will claim that Bannon is a Nazi, uses the Nazi salute and goes around saying the N-word.

CNN didn’t learn anything when Trump called them liars to their commie faces. It just made them worse. They don’t realize they are destroying themselves. What happened to the Freepers who were claiming CNN was more honest than FOX? Proud of yourselves?

Classic leftist ploy, when you’re losing trot out the “N” word. Sheesh, these people are so predictable.

Brooke Baldwin is stupid-—she said on air about a month ago that Congress ALREADY has term limits.

CNN’s finest.:-)

They are calling just about anyone who supports Trump racists, Nazis and anti-semites.

In reality, all of the hate is coming from them.

Brooke Baldwin always looks like she’s dealing with a major case of butthurt, but especially after that. She did get ambushed and especially since the guy was dead wrong, has every right to be pissed.

Doesn't matter! To quote Tom Foley (Anita Hill charges against Clarence Thomas):

"We have no conclusive evidence of wrongdoing, but the seriousness of the allegations, and the weight of circumstantial information, compel an effort to establish the facts."

CNN should answer if Trump’s daughter and son-in-law are Jewish? If so, why do they try to make Trump a Jew hater?

Sure as hell, the bastards in the media are going to go all out 24/7 to try and destroy Trump and everything he tries to do...as Rush says, “It’s going to be all out war.” Everyone of us has to contribute to this fight to take our country back from the liberal leftist elites that have run our country into the ground. My ancestors from the late 1600’s have fought in our military to protect America everyone on the planet, and I am not going to sacrifice my heritage to a bunch of whiny @ssholes...WE WON, SO SUCKIT UP OR LEAVE...no reaching across the aisle this time...it is liberty or civil war...DRAIN THE SWAMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'd like to see a whispering campaign started--Something along the lines of: Hey, these networks lie right to your face. How do you know their advertisers aren't lying to you, too?
