While speaking with a panel about President Donald Trump’s recent ban of CNN, MS NOW and other possible media outlets, CNN anchor Erin Burnett played a withering supercut of Trump’s adolescent-grade abuse and name-calling of women around him at press gaggles. This, Burnett insisted, was “only a small sample.” “What a stupid question for you to ask,” Trump barked to an unknown woman on July 27. “You’re the most obnoxious reporter in the whole room,” he told another woman on December 8, 2025. “You are the worst reporter,” Trump told CNN’s Kaitlan Collions on February 3. “Quiet! Quiet, piggy,” he ordered another woman on Nov. 14, 2025. “I’m tired of it, you dumb person,” Trump told a woman on May 12. “She’s a horror show,” he blasted another female reporter on May 8, while talking to aids. And finally: “You have a lot of hate in your heart,” Trump accused a woman Sept. 16, 2025. “As I said, that’s a small sampling,” Burnett told her panel, adding “he thrives on those exchanges.” “You k...

Kerry Kennedy, a daughter of JFK’s younger brother, former attorney general and Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, held nothing back after hearing of President Donald Trump’s justification for insisting his name should be on the memorial of an entirely different president. “It's heartbreaking to me,” Kennedy told CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Friday night , while describing a recent photograph of Trump seated on Air Force One, holding what looks like a presentation poster entitled “Kennedy Center DEMOLISHED . “It's heartbreaking because this is the monument to our slain president. And this is also the monument to the arts. The most important monument to the arts in our entire country. And these are the actions of a petty little tyrant who can't get his way. And because he can't add his name to it, he's going to blow it up.” “[If he had his way] It would be like the Trump Eiffel Tower or the trump Buckingham Palace or the Trump Tomb of the Unknown Soldier,” said Kennedy, without m...

CNN anchor Jake Tapper took no kindess on Friday to President Donald Trump’s announcement that he was “banning” CNN, MS NOW and Politico “from the White House, … effective immediately.” There was no indication the Trump administration had taken steps to follow through on the ban. CNN reporters were not escorted from their White House workspace near the briefing room later on Friday, nor was the CNN team traveling Friday with Vice President JD Vance removed from the reporters’ pool. But Tapper had no mercy for what he called Trump’s “unconstitutional” ban. “He wants the news to bend,” said Tapper. “… Let's remember that earlier he defined ‘fake news’ as purposely negative stories. That's ‘fake news’ to him. He wasn't talking about stories that are inaccurate. He started talking about stories that are not positive.” Tapper made note to report Trump said “more [was] to come,” and he talked about the Washington Post and the New York times, both of which he repeatedly called “...

Data analyst G. Elliot Morris fears the GOP may be a dead-party-walking as they head into the mid-terms — and polling analytics are setting the GOP up for terrible disappointment. “The polls are [possibly] understating support For Democrats, not Republicans, as you might have heard,” said Morris, speaking on the data generating process with The Downballot Podcast host David Nir . “If you pay any attention to politics and the polls over the past couple of cycles, then you will probably be triggered by large apparent misfires in public opinion surveys in the direction of the Democrats over the last four election cycles, basically every cycle since 2016, except for the midterms,” said Morris, referencing President Donald Trump’s unexpected wins in 2024 and 2016. However, “once you look under the hood,” said Morris, it appears pollsters are accidentally creating the potential for bias in the other direction and setting Republicans up for even more disappointment than they’re already expe...

Former Kansas governor Bill Graves is a Republican with a growing hostile attitude toward President Donald Trump and the Republicans who unfailingly enable him. “The Republican Party to me today feels like sort of a bad frat party,” said Graves on the Thursday night edition of Erin Burnett Out Front . “Everybody sort of just full of this joy and enthusiasm about how great things are going. And they're not really grasping the struggles that are going on every day for everyday Americans.” “I don't recognize this Republican Party,” Graves insisted. “I'm still a Republican, and I intend to stay one. But I'm hoping the Republican Party trends back more towards me than further away from me.” Graves said he lamented the “corruption and ineptitude” coming from the White House, and he said the party was failing the balance of power system that made the U.S. a functional democracy for so long. “I've got a tremendous respect for the balance of powers in our in our nation. And...

Rep. Chip Roy of Texas unleashed a masterclass of denial while speaking with CNN anchor Jake Tapper on Thursday night . The act kicked off after Tapper confronted Roy with footage of First Lady Melania Trump hosting an ‘opulent’ White House dinner scene complete with expensive dinnerware as Americans struggle under an affordability crisis created by Trump’s own policies. “Can you explain the worldview of the president and first lady when they — when she puts up that state dinner video?” asked Tapper. “It’s very fancy. But it's giving kind of like Nancy Reagan, White House china vibes, and then President [Donald] Trump talking about how there is no affordability crisis.” “I'm never going to try to explain what someone else is thinking about on any particular issue,” said Roy, immediately surrendering the argument. “But what I can tell you is what the people of Texas are telling me and people across the country. … [P]eople are concerned, of course, about affordability, and the...
