During an appearance on the Clay & Buck Show on Thursday, Jesse Kelly expressed his opinion that CNN was not doing Kaitlan Collins any favors by placing her in the same arena as former President Donald Trump. Collins hosted a town hall Wednesday in New Hampshire, which was attended by a live audience of Republican voters.
“I’m a big believer that you set your employees up for success,” Kelly said. “Kaitlan Collins is like an adorable little puppy, she’s way too stupid and meek to stand on stage with Trump and not get dominated. Of course, Trump is going to dominate that little mouse.”
“America was served very well by what we did last night,” said CNN CEO Chris Licht, indicating that he remains unbothered by the backlash the network has faced following its New Hampshire town hall event with former President Donald Trump.
“I hate Kaitlan Collins, and I hate CNN. I legitimately felt bad for her. That chick has no chance against a dominant personality like Trump,” said Kelly. “He’s got ten times the IQ that she does.”
Clay Travis noted that CNN had negotiated with the Trump team to arrange for the former president to address a friendly hometown audience, which welcomed him with open arms and a standing ovation as he made his inaugural appearance.
“It made it such an optical disaster for CNN that I think that’s why they cut it short,” he added.
“CNN set [Kaitlan] Collins up for failure. The Trump team had to have negotiated some kind of thing with the audience because you know CNN would have loaded up the audience with a bunch of communists in there.”
