Audie Cornish

Cornish kicked off today's CNN This Morning by slyly slipping in an analogy between President Trump and Marie Antoinette--the French queen who was beheaded by the guillotine. Commenting on Trump's statement that, given the new tariffs, "maybe the children will have two dolls instead of 30 dolls, Cornish said: "Hey: Let them buy fewer dolls!" That was an echo of the phrase attributed to Marie…

On CNN This Morning, commenting on new allegations that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth held a second Signal chat in which military plans were discussed that included his wife, host Audie Cornish says: "At some point does it move from it's a joke to he's a joke? And I'm not saying that's what's happening. But like it starts out Operation Overshare, you know? And then the next thing you…

The White House press room was left speechless on Thursday after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt invited Maryland angel mom Patty Morin to speak about her daughter Rachel, who was raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant (a story largely ignored by the liberal media until the briefing). But during Friday’s CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish scoffed and chuckled at Morin as she…

On CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish casts the showdown between the Trump administration and Harvard and other universities over federal funding as being about free expression. It's not. Universities can teach whatever they want. But they can't have it both ways. If Harvard wants to have complete freedom of operation, it should make like Hillsdale College and reject any federal or state…

On Friday's episode of CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish surprisingly praises Marco Rubio's take on revoking student visas as "common sense." But Cornish once again assembles an unbalanced panel, bereft of any Trump-supporting Republican.

On Wednesday's CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish calls two of her guests her "Republican chat group." The Republicans in question are Charlie Dent, a Never Trumper who says he is "very cynical" about Trump's tariffs, calling them a "bad rule," and Kristen Soltis Anderson, who has written a New York Times op-ed warning Republicans about the path they're going down. Anderson suggests there's…

CNN This Morning host Audie Cornish, in an interview with Sen. Peter Welch [D-VT], suggests that NPR/PBS accept an end to its federal funding. Surprising, considering that Cornish is an NPR alum, having co-hosted All Things Considered.

The panel on Monday's edition of CNN This Morning discusses "Abundance," the new book by liberal commentators Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson. The pair propose that liberals adopt a more relaxed approach to government regulation, which will in turn promote abundance for all. The panel is generally dubious. Host Audie Cornish points out that the energy in the Dem party is in the thousands turning…

Audie Cornish, the new host of CNN This Morning, has stocked her panels with left-leaning voices.  But today, she had an actual conservative on the show in the person of Rob Bluey, the President and Executive Editor of The Daily Signal. Bluey is a former reporter at Cybercast News Service, where he broke the story of Dan Rather's fake typewriter font in the phony Bush draft-evasion story. 

Keeping her habit alive of assembling conservative-free panels, CNN This Morning host Audie Cornish's guests this morning were CNN's oh-so-serious Stephen Collinson, Washington Post reporter Sabrina Rodriguez, and Cari Champion, a CNN contributor who's also the host of the "Naked Sports" podcast. The target was Trump's moves to shut down the Department of Education, and after clips of a union…

On CNN This Morning, in a discussion of the Trump administration's deportation of Venezuelan gang members despite a judge's order purporting to prohibit it, host Audie Cornish engages in apophasis, saying: "This is one of those things that people end up talking about constitutional crisis. I will try not to kickoff Monday with that term, but . . . "

On CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish plays a clip of an Iowa soybean farmer calling tariffs a "pissing match." The p-word is muted but it is clear what he said. A bit later, when a panelist begins a factual description of the effects of tariffs, Cornish eventually cuts him off, saying: "the farmer gave us a very, like, people understand what tariffs are now. Yeah. Right?"

In her debut appearance on CNN This Morning, hosted by Audie Cornish, former George W. Bush official Ashley Davis says the stock market's recent dive is "around [Trump's] neck." An unfortunate metaphor in regard to someone who has suffered two recent assassination attempts.

Since taking over from Kasie Hunt as host of CNN This Morning, Audie Cornish's panels--in contrast with Hunt's--have been almost entirely Trump-friendly Republican free.
