Friday's New Day displayed a rare example of a CNN anchor hitting liberal guests on the issue of conservative women not being welcome at so-called "women's marches" that actually advocate exclusively liberal public figures and positions on issues.
During a pre-recorded segment near the end of the 7:00 a.m. Eastern hour, co-host Alisyn Camerota was seen speaking with a group of six women -- two liberals who have always opposed Donald Trump, two conservatives who still support the President, and two who voted for Trump but have turned against him. As the group discussed the liberal women's marches from the past year, one of which is to occur tomorrow, one right-leaning Trump supporter, Daphne Coggins, was seen complaining: "As a pro-life person, can I march in this march? No, I cannot."
The CNN host then took the opportunity to discuss the issue of liberal women's groups rejecting the participation of women they disagree with while claiming generally to be "women's" groups. Camerota posed: "All right, let's talk about that. Is it -- do you welcome conservative women?"
Liberal activist Kim Drew Wright -- who founded a group called Liberal Women of Chesterfield County and Beyond -- openly admitted: "No. I'm for liberal -- it's in the name, liberal women."
After the more conservative guests voiced their complaints, Camerota turned to the liberal members and followed up: "I want you guys to address this. What about this? You're only pro-women who agree with you."
The CNN host then made another followup on the topic: "Why reject conservative women?"
Camerota ended the segment by touching on the issue of Democrats becoming more fixated on the issue of sexual harassment primarily out of resentment of Donald Trump rising to prominence and getting elected President: "Would the 'Me Too Movement' have ever happened if Donald Trump were not President?"
The CNN host did not go so far as to point out another glaring fact: When the most prominent man accused of sexual harassment and assault was a Democratic President -- Bill Clinton -- Democrats devoted their attention to defending him by either downplaying the severity or even denying some of the behavior had even happened and siding against the women making the accusations.
