Donald Trump Jr. throws his dad’s ridiculous CNN surrogates under the bus: ‘I can’t even watch it’

Apparently Donald Trump Jr. has noticed that people who go on CNN to defend his dad frequently fail miserably at their jobs — and he thinks it’s part of a media conspiracy to make Trump supporters look stupid.

BuzzFeed notices that Trump Jr. went on Sean Hannity’s radio show on Wednesday and complained about all the people that go on CNN to defend his campaign. In particular, he fumed that CNN seemed to drag random Trump supporters “from the street” to debate against “professional” Democrats.

“The worst (segments) are when they have a panel of eight professional — liberal, but professional — people on a panel, and they find like one Trump supporter from the street, who has no real political knowledge, and they just happen to be supporter,” Trump Jr. said. “And they put that person up against 8 people who do this for a living and try to make it seem like that’s a fair fight.”

Of course, CNN uses a wide range of pro-Trump pundits on its program, including campaign spokeswomen Katrina Pierson and Kayleigh McEnany , as well as former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski. Other top surrogates that regularly appear on CNN include Jeffrey Lord and Healy Baumgardner.

1. So? Then ask daddy for a better crop of fascists to represent his Oompa

Loompa ass.

4. Donnie Jr. and Hannity having a conversation

That's akin to listening to someone smack two handfuls of mashed potatoes together.

5. You are off base sir!

I happen to think mashed potatoes serve a very useful purpose...... even after being smashed together by the handful.

2. Damn, when Donnie Jr. doesn't think you're very bright...

that must suck.

3. You don't need a media conspiracy to make Trump supporters look stupid.

They manage that very nicely without any help.

12. !!!!YES!!!! ^^^^^^^^^^

6. OK, I've been watching politics on TV for a long time

and not once, NOT ONCE EVER, have I seen eight professional Democratic surrogates lined up against one Republican taken off the street. Even on PBS, they seem to go out of their way to find an extra conservative so they won't seem biased.

WTF is he talking about?

[VulgarPoet]

7. Like father, like son--

he's talking using an ancient form of anal puckerage and flatulence that makes it sound as though one were talking out their ass.

9. Whereas Fox News often does just that

In reverse.

[Native]

14. So true.

[PatSeg]

10. I agree

Most cable and PBS news shows tend to over compensate with an excess of conservative surrogates. Lately however I've noticed that many of the conservatives are as much against Trump as the Democrats. The Trump family really knows nothing about politics.

8. Does Corey Lewandowski count as "one Trump supporter from the street" ?

Because he is a regular on the CNN panels.

Yesterday, they also had Kellyanne Conway on the panel, whom Trump just named his new campaign manager.

11. They make it sound like it's someone from "Jay Walking"

Though I had issues with that, because I figured he'd always pass up 100 people who knew the first President of the United States to find some bozo who'd say "Abraham Lincoln?"

13. There is only a small pool of idiots left supporting Trump. Most knowledgeable

pundits have excused themselves from the losing battle.
