CNN: Liberal Scumbag of the Week

Claim to Fame: one of the 3 major cable news networks

Why They're The Liberal Scumbag of the Week: for putting their anti-Trump hate/zealotry on their full display by openly criticizing President Trump's visit to the troops this past week and even going after troops bringing MAGA hats for Trump to sign.

FOXNews.com:

Both the president and first lady Melania Trump surprised troops stationed in Iraq the day after Christmas, which was followed by another visit with troops in Germany. 

However, there was barely a kind word toward the president regarding his trip overseas — at least on CNN. On Wednesday evening, the network's reporting drew attention to some troops bringing MAGA hats for the president to sign and how this may be against the guidelines, which forbids active members of the military from participating in “political activities.” 

The story by CNN politics reporter Eli Watkins, headlined “Troops bringing Trump hats to sign may violate military rule,” was criticized by Sanders, who fired back at CNN on Thursday, tweeting that the network “will attack anyone who supports President Trump, including the brave men and women of our military who fight everyday to protect our freedom.”

CNN host and resident idiot/Trump-hater Don Lemon also chimed in on the network using the troops to showcase their TDS by comparing Trump to the 'Grinch who stole Christmas' because the President dared to visit the troops. Mind you, after the news of Trump's visit took place, NBC News was forced to backtrack on its report that said Trump did not visit troops over Christmas.

As it also turned out, contrary to what you were told by CNN, there was no violation made by the troops who sought to get signatures from Trump:

President Trump's signing of "Make America Great Again" hats during his whirlwind trip to visit troops in Iraq didn't violate regulations prohibiting a mix of political and military activities, The United States Air Force in Europe says. Trump's trip earlier this week included a stop at Ramstein Air Base in Germany for refueling, where military members met with the president and brought their personal belongings for Trump to sign. 

The gesture quickly drew derision from the likes of CNN and others, citing potential violations of military regulations governing service members and political activities. For the Air Force, the governing regulation is AFI 51-902, Political Activities by Members of the U.S. Air Force . But it includes no specific mention of incidents like Trump's impromptu hat-signing, according to Military.com. Nor is their any indication any of the regulation applies to a sitting president and commander in chief. 

"There is no rule against Airmen bringing personal items to be signed by the president," USAFE said. "Any time the commander in chief offers the opportunity to meet with Airmen, such as this official holiday visit by the President and First Lady, Airmen are welcome to participate. No policy violations have been brought to our attention at this time."
