'Don't touch me': Panelist blows up on Trump supporter's microaggression on CNN (VIDEO)

[egbertowillies]

Many watching this clip will not immediately see the microaggression from this Trump supporter. It is a technique instantly caught by the aggrieved panelist, and he exploded.

New York Times writer Charles Blow blew up on Trump supporter Kayleigh McEnany for a crystal clear display of a microaggression many Liberals are forced to endure.

1. They are sick and it is gonna get ugly, many are going to be harmed, some will die

at the hands of these nazis and it is starting this weekend

I have said for a long time that they want us gone, one way or another. I believe that.

[riversedge]

2. Blow has a point--her words were condensending-then she reached out with a pat.

[dchill]

3. Trump supporter - that's actually her job title.

Not exactly brimming with credibility. I think "Trump Wannabe" is more accurate.

[2naSalit]

4. Wow....nt

[dixiegrrrrl]

5. She was scripted for that.

After Blow got on her about her not "real American" false-equivalence-attack, when she was being talked over, she again
said the Maxine Waters thing, but was not heard clearly.
She did same thing Conway does.
Wonder how many Conway clones there are.

[2naSalit]

7. Wonder how many Conway clones there are.

More than enough to damage us into oblivion.

[brush]

6. Charles Blow is wise to their techniques and calls them on it every time, which they don't like.

He put her in check on the touch, intended to soften him as she plunges the verbal dagger inn, then he calls her on her insinuation that he's un-American.

He's wa-a-a-a-y woke.

[Dustlawyer]

19. I commend him for what he did.

I wish he had been able to point out the sheer irony of her statement that "...we have one President and we must support him!"

What did Republicans and their followers say about Obama all 8 years!

[DK504]

22. "Let's hug it out at the end go the day"

Are you f-ing kidding me? Her passive aggressive bullshit of calling a democrat left wing and sinister is becoming a step too far for these "people", the idea that democrats are doing ANY thing other than trying vet these horrific nominees he keeps pulling out of his ass.

Their comparison of apples to oranges need to be called out everyday. They are bullshit and the crappiest of 'debate' technique. They are to stupid or to lazy to learn how to present a case. These bimbettes probably just get talking points and no context in which too speak income sort of reliable fashion.

[Fla Dem]

31. Yes, I don't understand why these on-air "pundits" don't always push back with the Obama treatment.

Every single time one of these RW idiots says you're not American if you don't support him, or we all have to come together and support him, or whatever stupid theme of the day is, the Democratic counterpoint should always be, "Oh right, just like the way you supported OUR PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA" the whole time Trump was calling him an illegitimate president, and not an American citizen, and list all those other things they smeared him with for 8 years.

If nothing else the RW has perfected the art of the debate and have trained their spokespeople how to talk over, rapid speak and dominate conversations. They also have a playbook of themes they can trot out to counter all Democratic pushbacks.

[Hekate]

8. Link keeps crashing my page, but thanks for the news. Good on Charles Blow.

[MrScorpio]

9. Wingers are about as duplicitous as you can get

Kudos on Blow there.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

10. Good link. "This one exchange is important to understand because it exhibits the technique used ...

This one exchange is important to understand because it exhibits the technique used by the Right to obfuscate.

(from the OP: https://egbertowillies.com/2017/02/17/panelist-trump-supporter-microaggression/ )

[Native]

11. isn't she paid by CNN to represent the "other side"?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. The link has a good read, but NO video, just a picture.

Please post a working video link, say the original link to the video rather than a possible embed that seems not to be functioning.

[DrDan]

30. the picture contained a link - worked for me

[colorado_ufo]

13. She always wears a Cross around her neck.

My husband tends to confuse her with K . Conway. I told him that's how you can quickly tell these two blonde bimbos apart.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. THe 'one president and we're all Americans' line was a doozy

like they said when Obama was in the White House, right?

[Blue_true]

39. I hear that line a lot, from the same people who insisted President Obama

was not their President, virulently so. Republicans have long been hypocrites, now they have become evil, bald faced liars. They want us to respect them in ways that they absolutely refuse to respect us - the "true American" bullshit is one example, spoken by people that admire a bloodthirsty dictator like Putin.

[LisaM]

15. Not only did she poke him - TWICE ----

she then tried to completely flip the topic.

[oasis]

16. I read the transcript. Got the picture. Thanks.

[lunatica]

17. Good for him!

She's doing the let me touch you lightly condescending move while saying something bad about him to everyone in the room.

I'm very glad he reacted. And more so when he threw her scolding words about being American right back in her face. I hope it hurt.

[Alice11111]

18. Never could stand her...so bad i quit CNN. Need experienced people. Im not waisting my time w "Bimba

Knows Nada," Shes on A Cooper less these days. Looks like Gergan avoids being there when she is. Another FALSE EQUIVALENCY, same time for Bimba as a more moderate smart experienced person. Of course, they are cateing to RW evangelicals.

[MontanaMama]

20. Wow. Just wow.

I don't blame Charles Blow. McEnany reaching out to "pat" him is patronizing and inappropriate. We are NOT going to "hug it out" at the end of the day because we are all Americans. RUFKM!???!?!?? You can go pound sand, Kayleigh McEnany. You're a hateful vile POS.

[Rex]

21. What a joke she is, has to touch him to make her point cannot debate him.

She then says we are all Americans, then turns around and says he might not be American.

FUCK HER! I am glad she got caught out being an asshole!

[heaven05]

23. excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

put in her place quite nicely by being told essentially "you don't have the right to touch me while denigrating me".

[iluvtennis]

24. Kayleigh McEnany did this smae sh*t during the GE...why is CNN having her back on anyway...

...learn your lesson CNN and stop sucking up to the Trumpians. You don't need the Trumpians with their spin to report facts to public. Me thinks you bring these Trumpians on for ratings. GAH, that's how the imbecile got into the WH in the first place

[Initech]

25. The right to a free press IS A GUARANTEED FUNDAMENTAL CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT!!!!!

It's in the Bill Of Rights. The aggression that Trump and his fans have toward the press is getting fucking scary. And now they're turning the tables on the hand that feeds them.

[get the red out]

26. Sick passive-aggressive techniques

She thinks she has some kind of plausible deniability.

Trumpers are really sick pieces of work.

[appleannie1943]

27. The sad thing is that if he had touched her without her consent,some would have been outraged.

People need to learn to keep their hands to themselves unless given the go ahead to touch someone. Personal space is just that, personal. If she had offered her hand and he accepted it, that would be different but she just assumed it would be okay to touch him.

[Cracklin Charlie]

34. Outraged?

Did you ever watch "To Kill a Mockingbird"?

She was probably TRYING to get him to touch her.

Charles Blow is razor sharp!

[elmac]

28. Being old fashioned

I couldn't get upset about her Microaggression even though she spews hateful rightwing nutjob insults and propaganda. I'm glad we are fighting back against fascism with our own, interesting words, talking points, I'm all for fighting fire with fire. I just could not scold her for touching or patting. I would have rather he grabbed her hand and gave her a tRump style handshake while telling her why its wrong to condescend and spew such vile hate.

[Demit]

32. What do you think was her purpose in touching him?

[starshine00]

36. violation/domination

like you put your hand on a toddler while they are acting out, it is establishing a power imbalance. Plus in her creepy little world of pervy rt wing pundits who want to get in her pants, it probably signals a form of flirtation but clearly she had to be taught not everyone thinks her vagina is El Dorado.

[Blue_true]

40. She is attractive, I am sure rightwingers have Boners when she is on.

I pay more attention to the evil shit that comes out of her mouth. She is a vile person.

[elmac]

37. Contact

I think, way down in her subconscious, she hates what shes doing, prostituting herself for career and money. She may be reaching out, trying to reassure herself that she isn't the monster she seems to be. Or, maybe shes just being condescending on purpose.

[Demit]

38. thank you both, but I really wanted to know why elmac wouldn't scold her

for touching him. He/she seemed to think it was no big deal, and I wondered why.

[yardwork]

29. Good for him.

[BeckyDem]

33. Charles so gets their bullshit. That was fantastic, good for him. She tried to spin it away from

him but completely failed.

[starshine00]

35. this made my day

thanks for sharing it. I am SO SICK of sorority girls as pundit...vomit. I am sick of the bleach, it literally seems to cook their brains. She thinks that she can just run right over people and he really schooled her on some basic shit, he is dead to rights. She needs to learn basic MANNERS and basic CIVILITY before she moves onto pretending to be a professional shill.

[Beartracks]

41. Is condescension, microaggression?

Or is it the arm-touching that is specifically the micro aggression?
