CNN’s CEO is defiant about funding a play in which a Donald Trump look-alike is stabbed to death. Attending a shareholder meeting, National Center for Public Policy Research Vice President David Almasi on Thursday confronted exec Jeff Bewkes about the cable channel’s support for the Public Theater in New York, a troupe that is putting on a bloody version of Julius Caesar featuring the President.

As quoted in the Daily Caller, Bewkes dodged while talking to Almasi.

CNN is a notoriously racist organization singling out white politiicians for ridicule and libel while letting African politicians get away with murder. Think of how they treated Obama and his bit.hes.

Federal government needs to withdraw all federal funding for this group. If they complain at any time in the future refer them to the actors and director of this “play”

How many times can you boycott CNN?

I can print out this article and ask my gym to take it off the screens all over the gym. EVERYONE is complaining anyway, so here’s another reason to get rid of it. j

CNN probably doesn’t worry much about advertising boycotts given that a significant majority of their audience wouldn’t be bothered by a huge, taxpayer-funded production in Central Park that glorifies the assassination of President Trump.
