CNN's John King: Liberal Scumbag of the Week

Claim to Fame: CNN's chief national correspondent and anchor of its roundtable political discussion program Inside Politics

Why He's the Liberal Scumbag of the Week: for questioning taxpayers funding 2nd Lady Karen Pence's security while teaching at a private, Christian school that excludes homosexual students and staff. Karen Pence, upon returning to teach at Immanuel Christian School in Northern Virginia, came under scrutiny from the liberal, anti-Trump media this past week because of its strict religious beliefs, which include anyone working there agreeing that marriage can be only between a man and a woman.

"Does it matter all taxpayers pay for her housing? All taxpayers pay for her Secret Service protection? It's not her fault she needs protection, this is the world we live in. But all taxpayers subsidize her life. Does it matter?" asked King to a group of panelists on his Inside Politics show. That's right, for simply being a Christian working at a Christian school, a major network anchor suggested that Karen Pence shouldn't have taxpayers paying for security protection and even government housing. Or, in other words, for failing to adhere to radical Leftist ideology, you should stfu.

Vice President Mike Pence would later defend his wife from King as well as liberal groups like the ACLU and the Human Rights Campaign who also spoke out against Karen Pence and said they'd "let the critics roll off their back." The VP also added, however, that "to see major news organizations attacking Christian education, is deeply offensive to us." And also offensive to any conservative, Christian or anyone else who adhere's to God's word instead of man's.

At least, one panelist on King's show had the common sense to rebuke King's Christian-bashing.

Olivier Knox, looking as dumbfounded as the other panelists, said he didn't think many people "would sign on to" the suggestion that Pence's First Amendment protections be "curtailed" in the wake of the shutdown.
