In Embarrassing Interview, CNN’s Chris Wallace Feels AOC’s Ache
As host of “Fox Information Sunday,” Chris Wallace used to take delight within the notion of being a tricky however honest interviewer. That’s not what viewers are seeing on his new CNN present “Who’s Speaking to Chris Wallace?”
Look no additional than his newest interview with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.
It started with a quick glimpse of the earlier Wallace. He requested Ocasio-Cortez if voters have been in search of one thing much less excessive. Naturally, the unconventional leftist protested she was under no circumstances excessive, with right-wingers who need unlawful aliens to be bodily harmed. No footnote was requested.
However then, Wallace aided the parable of AOC by underlining how she one way or the other supplied good questioning of former Trump fixer Michael Cohen, allegedly as a result of her “razor-sharp” instincts gleaned from being a bartender.
After an advert break, Wallace lauded her as a social media star, however relayed that every one this fame “has come at a value.” He recalled that final December on Twitter, Trump backer Steve Cortes mocked her fiance displaying “gross pale male ft in public.”
Wallace quoted her Twitter response: “If Republicans are mad they will’t date me, they will simply say that as an alternative of projecting their sexual frustrations on my boyfriend’s ft. Ya creepy weirdos.”
Why does this deserve an excellent nationwide airing? This arrange Ocasio-Cortez to psychologize her critics on the appropriate, that their criticism is “very a lot rooted in my identification as a lady, and I imagine rooted in a substantial amount of misogyny and … underlying points round intercourse and identification.”
It’s one way or the other no person’s enterprise who she’s courting, which is a foolish factor for a political superstar with 13 million Twitter followers to proclaim.
Then the drama queen part actually kicked in. Over a display screen studying “AOC on Recklessness of GOP Rhetoric,” Wallace requested, “I need to put up one thing that you just stated this summer time, which is critical. ‘Realistically, I can’t even let you know if I’m going to be alive in September.’ Congresswoman, is that actual? Do you are feeling your life is in peril?”
AOC insisted, “I’ve felt that my life has been in peril for the reason that second that I gained my main election in 2018,” and claimed she asks her fiance to return out to her automotive to stroll her inside her condominium constructing. She added she has sort of a “static electrical energy” round her. However she’s not an egotist.
That is one way or the other not within the realm of conspiracy principle. Wallace enabled this routine: “How do you reside with it? And is it price it?” She stated, “I should be as sturdy and pressing as potential to say what I have to say as a result of I don’t need to take the time I’ve as a right.”
Wallace added, sympathetically, “Do you ever suppose, let any person else carry the torch?” By this level, there’s zero distinction between Wallace and the late perennial CNN suck-up Larry King.
The socialist congresswoman then uncorked a lecture about how “after we have a look at Jim Crow, after we have a look at the period of Reconstruction and resistance to us turning into a extra simply nation, a few of the darkest pockets on this nation, most violent pockets of this nation, used the specter of violence as a chilling impact to forestall folks from attempting to face up for the appropriate factor.”
Immediately’s conservatives are all the time being accused of being “Jim Crow 2.0.” CNN wallows in it, however by no means challenges it.
The brand new Chris Wallace present is like just about the whole lot else on CNN since Chris Licht glad-handed Republicans on Capitol Hill promising one thing completely different on air. Licht’s speak of “rebuilding belief” is meaningless. Nothing has modified at CNN. It’s nonetheless a liberal swamp.
