Flashback: CNN Host Praises Trump for COVID Leadership, 'Kind of Leader...People Need'
Pigs are certainly flying in some part of the world. On a day when NFL legend Tom Brady becomes a Tampa Bay Buccaneer and NBA star Kevin Durant tests positive for coronavirus, a reliably left-leaning CNN host actually praised President Trump for doing something right. Think about that for a second.
What is happening?
From Daily Wire:
On Tuesday, CNN anchor Dana Bash applauded President Donald Trump on his handling of the China-originated novel coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, praising Trump as the “kind of leader that people need” in this time of crisis.
After dismissing criticism from media reporter and American neurosurgeon Sanjay Gupta, Bash said Trump’s “tone” over the past two days should be applauded on an “American” and “human” level.

You’d imagine President Trump has a pretty solid case against a handful of left-leaning networks, simply for the lies they’ve spread about him, his family, his businesses, and his administration, over the years.
On Friday, CNN felt the wrath of POTUS’ 2020 campaign.
Here’s the scoop, via Fox News:
President Trump’s re-election campaign filed a libel lawsuit against CNN on Friday for publishing “false and defamatory” statements about seeking Russia’s help in the 2020 election.
“The complaint alleges CNN was aware of the falsity at the time it published them but did so for the intentional purpose of hurting the campaign while misleading its own readers in the process… the campaign filed this lawsuit against CNN and the preceding suits against The New York Times and The Washington Post to hold the publishers accountable for their reckless false reporting and also to establish the truth,” Senior Legal Adviser to Donald J. Trump for President, Inc. Jenna Ellis told Fox News.
After Trump addressed the nation and banned travel from Europe to America for the next 30 days, CNN’s Jim Acosta blasted POTUS for saying something that was 100% factually accurate.
