This week’s disturbing (but not surprising) revelation that a CNN foreign affairs reporter coordinated with Hillary Clinton’s State Department to launch an attack against Kentucky Senator Rand Paul has resulted in a swift rebuke from the Republican presidential candidate’s office. “The liberal media has taken their Clinton sycophancy to a new low,” the statement reads. “CNN needs to address this bias and lack of journalistic integrity.”
Based on previous CNN scandals detrimental to the GOP, Breitbart News has been calling for the Republican Party to cancel the upcoming presidential debate hosted by CNN. Echoing those calls, Paul’s office adds, “This email revelation should give Republicans pause as to their coverage and possibility of fair treatment towards Sen. Paul during the next debate.”
Here is the full statement:
The liberal media has taken their Clinton sycophancy to a new low. CNN needs to address this bias and lack of journalistic integrity. This email revelation should give Republicans pause as to their coverage and possibility of fair treatment towards Sen. Paul during the next debate. All eyes will be on CNN’s response to their employee colluding with Hillary Clinton in order to attack a prominent U.S. senator on their dime.
