CNN’s dwindling audience expects the network’s programming to spoon feed them a certain narrative.
But on one primetime show, a guest recently deviated from the script.
And Chris Cuomo received a big-time reality check that will make leftists’ heads explode.
Left-wing activists Chris Cuomo interviewed liberal comic Bill Maher.
Maher is a long-time critic of “woke” politics and cancel culture, explaining that the Left’s descent into identity politics and political correctness alienates voters.
Cuomo took on Maher’s criticism of the left’s “anti-racism” agenda by pushing the usual line that parents have every right to be upset, but conservatives fooled them with lies about Critical Race Theory being taught in schools.
Maher quickly shutdown that falsehood, explaining that Maher’s read enough news accounts and performed enough research to know that left-wing teachers are teaching Critical Race Theory in schools.
“And it’s not a phantom either,” Maher added. “I’m not in schools, I have no interaction with children whatsoever. But I do understand this issue because I read accounts from parents, from educators.”
Maher continued on stating that he wasn’t against teaching children about racism in school, but that Critical Race Theory indoctrinated children with a false impression that racism is what defines America and every aspect of life.
“That’s what people get upset about, or involving children who are probably not old enough or sophisticated enough to understand this very complicated issue with a very complicated history,” Maher stated.
Maher cited examples of how Critical Race Theory lessons separate children by race and teach kids to resent one another based on their skin color stating “kids are taught and sometimes separated into groups, oppressor and oppressed.”
“Does a kid even know what those words mean? Would they gravitate toward that if you hadn’t told them?” Maher asked.
Cuomo pushed back, asking Maher if not teaching Critical Race Theory hid children from the truth about racism in America.
“That’s nuts. That’s just silly. It’s just virtue signaling,” Maher shot back.
Parents in Virginia rebelled against Critical Race Theory in schools, and it led to a Republican sweep in a state the GOP had not won elections in since 2009.
Maher warned CNN’s audience that if Democrats latched themselves to defending Critical Race Theory, the Party could expect more defeats in 2022.
And that is not a message many CNN viewers have heard before as the network’s hosts and reporters stick to the script and continually repeat the falsehood that Critical Race Theory is not taught in schools.
