Immediately following President Donald Trump’s fiery campaign rally in Phoenix, Arizona on Tuesday, CNN completely dropped their thin façade of an objective news organization. In the wake of the address, there were many cries on CNN Tonight accusing the President of being truly out of his mind and unfit to hold the office of the president. Host Don Lemon declared that Trump was “clearly trying to ignite a civil war in this country.” But he wasn’t the only one who was off the wall.
Republican Political Consultant Rick Wilson described Trump’s speech as “Castro-esque speech in length.” And he asserted that “it was an astounding chain of lies tied together by lunatic asides by a man who obviously is mentally unstable.”
“I mean, I'm not joking out it or being a smart ass this is a man who is not well,” he yelled. “This is a man who is not qualified or mentally or morally fit to be the president of the United States and tonight was one more proof of it.” He also smeared Trump as being the cross between a “6-year-old” and “cranky old man.”
After coming back from covering of the radical leftist violence outside of the event, Lemon read a tweet from the unhinged CNN Commentator Ana Navarro. “’The only possible defensible explanation for Trump's disgusting, unpresidential, narcissistic behavior would be early onset dementia. Maybe,’” Lemon read. “She’s not the only one been saying-- some people have been saying that for months.”
The next wave of what could arguably be considered slander was up to Democratic Strategist Maria Cardona. “This is something that frankly the majority of Americans who did not vote for this man understood how unfit he was to be the occupant of the oval office,” she chided Trump’s voters.
Cardona suggested that the speech would open the public’s eyes to just how unfit Trump’s was to hold the office. They might finally realize “that he might be psychotically demented and ill of the mind,” she spat as she grilled Republican lawmakers to take a stand against the President.
“Tonight, Don, America's enemies are laughing and America, the country, is weeping and we need do something about it,” she lamented.
Just past the top of the 1:00 AM hour, conservative Ben Ferguson was taking CNN behind the woodshed for their disgusting over the top reaction and their claims that the President was crazy. Don Lemon actually had the nerve to falsely claim “no one” was calling Trump crazy. And that’s after Lemon hammered Trump for allegedly “lying” and trying to rewrite history during his speech.
Clearly, CNN is done pretending to be an objective source of news.
CNN's unhinged lunacy was sponsored by Fidelity, Ruby Tuesday, and Trip Adviser.

CNN Tonight
August 22, 2017
11:35:47 PM EasternRICK WILSON: Don, listen, this was a Castro-esque speech in length. It was an astounding chain of lies tied together by lunatic asides by a man who obviously is mentally unstable. I mean, I'm not joking out it or being a smart ass this is a man who is not well. This is a man who is not qualified or mentally or morally fit to be the president of the United States and tonight was one more proof of it.
This is a guy who went back and tried to revise history and tried to allied the fact that he essentially -- he just happened to forget the many sides part of this. He happened to forgot the actual impact of the speeches he gave wasn’t to reprimand or to chaise the alt-right, Nazis, the anti-Semites, the Klan, but in fact to let them all nudge each and to elbow each other go: “Hey, he's still dog whistling. It's cool, guys. Keep up the fight.”
This is a guy who went out there tonight and behaved in away-- he alternated between being a whiney 6-year-old who's had his Nintendo taken away and between being the cranky old man whose out there condemning everyone who doesn’t worship him adequately.
It was an astounding moment in our history. And I know the 25th Amendment is a remote possibility, but if people around him don't think that this guy is bat crap crazy, they're mistaken.

DON LEMON: He is clearly trying to ignite a civil war in this country. He has not tamped down race. And I’m just going to say: If he was on my team in this newsroom and said those things, he would be escorted out of the building by security. And my colleague Ana Navarro (…) and she said the only possible—and this is on Twitter. “The only possible defensible explanation for Trump's disgusting, unpresidential, narcissistic behavior would be early on-set dementia. Maybe.” She’s not the only one been saying-- some people have been saying that for months. He is -- has he shown that he's fit for office?
MARIA CARDONA: Nooo! Absolutely not, Don. But to Bakari’s point, this is something that frankly the majority of Americans who did not vote for this man understood how unfit he was to be the occupant of the oval office. Tonight, I think, was historic on a couple levels.
The first one is: Yes, I do believe after tonight a lot of people are going to be thinking that he's not just completely unfit, that he's just completely ill equipped to hold this office, but that he might be psychotically demented and ill of the mind in order to take this office, and in order to continue on with this office.
In fact, Congresswoman Jacky Spear was on CNN during the 7 o’clock hour talking about the 25th amendment and whether it's time to invoke that. Now my question after tonight's speech is where are Republicans on this? Are they proud of their President tonight? Are they proud this is the leader of the Republican Party? (…) Tonight, Don, America's enemies are laughing and America, the country, is weeping and we need do something about it.
