‘Ridiculous Bile’: CNN Shames Critics of Obama’s ‘Latte Salute’

COSTELLO This critical meeting ░░░░░░░░ at a time some ░░░░░░░░ pundits are spewing ridiculous ░░░░░░░░ at America s Commander ░░░░░░░░ Chief I bring you ░░░░░░░░ s being dubbed as ░░░░░░░░ latte salute I agree ░░░░░░░░ looks really bad The ░░░░░░░░ as tradition requires saluted ░░░░░░░░ marines after Marine One ░░░░░░░░ in New York with ░░░░░░░░ cup of coffee in ░░░░░░░░ hands That s bad ░░░░░░░░ what followed was just ░░░░░░░░ Sarah Palin apologized for ░░░░░░░░ president via Facebook I ░░░░░░░░ accept that The dumb ░░░░░░░░ m talking about the ░░░░░░░░ came courtesy of Red ░░░░░░░░ This is on Red ░░░░░░░░ This salute by Obama ░░░░░░░░ serve as a metaphor ░░░░░░░░ his entire administration sloppy ░░░░░░░░ thought out inappropriate callous ░░░░░░░░ and disrespectful Though in ░░░░░░░░ defense he may have ░░░░░░░░ running from that thing ░░░░░░░░ thing covered in a ░░░░░░░░ bag that seems to ░░░░░░░░ pursuing him down the ░░░░░░░░ Now if you noticed ░░░░░░░░ that picture Michelle Obama ░░░░░░░░ dressed in a red ░░░░░░░░ So I assume that ░░░░░░░░ they re talking about ░░░░░░░░ the First Lady of ░░░░░░░░ United States So let ░░░░░░░░ talk about this with ░░░░░░░░ political commentator and Republican ░░░░░░░░ Margaret Hoover Brian Stelter ░░░░░░░░ he s CNN senior ░░░░░░░░ correspondent and host of ░░░░░░░░ Sources And Democratic strategist ░░░░░░░░ CNN political commentator Paul ░░░░░░░░ joins us too Welcome ░░░░░░░░ all of you OK ░░░░░░░░ Brian I want to ░░░░░░░░ with you This looked ░░░░░░░░ And what s worse ░░░░░░░░ White House put it ░░░░░░░░ STELTER That s right ░░░░░░░░ was on their Instagram ░░░░░░░░ I m sure some ░░░░░░░░ level aide wishes they ░░░░░░░░ t done it I ░░░░░░░░ for a fact they ░░░░░░░░ they hadn t posted ░░░░░░░░ But the derangement that ░░░░░░░░ see from some of ░░░░░░░░ conservative media coverage of ░░░░░░░░ is really fascinating to ░░░░░░░░ There was a clip ░░░░░░░░ Fox and Friends that ░░░░░░░░ hope we can show ░░░░░░░░ how they reacted this ░░░░░░░░ clip starts KILMEADE He ░░░░░░░░ Let me put the ░░░░░░░░ in this hand and ░░░░░░░░ a marine I think ░░░░░░░░ was he s bodying ░░░░░░░░ jacket with one hand ░░░░░░░░ had a coffee and ░░░░░░░░ just obviously he wants ░░░░░░░░ have it back I ░░░░░░░░ t think he intentionally ░░░░░░░░ that Do you KOOIMAN ░░░░░░░░ I think when you ░░░░░░░░ not intending to do ░░░░░░░░ you could be intending ░░░░░░░░ do something clip ends ░░░░░░░░ So if you re ░░░░░░░░ intending I can t ░░░░░░░░ what she was saying ░░░░░░░░ I just don t ░░░░░░░░ where to begin with ░░░░░░░░ one Because first of ░░░░░░░░ we don t even ░░░░░░░░ if it was a ░░░░░░░░ Laughter The president happened ░░░░░░░░ drink tea It just ░░░░░░░░ me that one of ░░░░░░░░ things become memes before ░░░░░░░░ can even get the ░░░░░░░░ HOOVER But the truth ░░░░░░░░ this has been a ░░░░░░░░ long before the President ░░░░░░░░ became the president This ░░░░░░░░ there are memes there ░░░░░░░░ theater there are narratives ░░░░░░░░ American politics And there ░░░░░░░░ some times where Democrats ░░░░░░░░ to try harder in ░░░░░░░░ areas and Republicans have ░░░░░░░░ try harder in other ░░░░░░░░ to counter those memes ░░░░░░░░ s a double standard ░░░░░░░░ you re fighting an ░░░░░░░░ battle What happens is ░░░░░░░░ a hangover of the ░░░░░░░░ of the Vietnam era ░░░░░░░░ have to try harder ░░░░░░░░ national defense because they ░░░░░░░░ fighting against this notion ░░░░░░░░ they re weak on ░░░░░░░░ defense whether it s ░░░░░░░░ or unfair Republicans have ░░░░░░░░ too We have to ░░░░░░░░ super sensitive when it ░░░░░░░░ to racial issues very ░░░░░░░░ when it comes to ░░░░░░░░ issues But what happened ░░░░░░░░ is Bill Clinton and ░░░░░░░░ ll talk to Paul ░░░░░░░░ because he ll tell ░░░░░░░░ all about this also ░░░░░░░░ the exact same criticism ░░░░░░░░ he didn t even ░░░░░░░░ how to salute the ░░░░░░░░ when he came out ░░░░░░░░ Marine One COSTELLO OK ░░░░░░░░ Paul Begala HOOVER Cue ░░░░░░░░ Begala BEGALA Yeah well ░░░░░░░░ we have to impeach ░░░░░░░░ Laughter I mean Article ░░░░░░░░ Section 4 of the ░░░░░░░░ is very clear We ░░░░░░░░ the president for bribery ░░░░░░░░ high crimes misdemeanors or ░░░░░░░░ clumsy salute forgetting you ░░░░░░░░ holding a coffee I ░░░░░░░░ it s just silly ░░░░░░░░ is actually President Clinton ░░░░░░░░ in fact have to ░░░░░░░░ taught how to salute ░░░░░░░░ he d been a ░░░░░░░░ all his life as ░░░░░░░░ President Obama Interestingly Eisenhower ░░░░░░░░ five star general the ░░░░░░░░ ranking military man ever ░░░░░░░░ be President of the ░░░░░░░░ States did not salute ░░░░░░░░ he was president because ░░░░░░░░ was out of uniform ░░░░░░░░ did not believe that ░░░░░░░░ president while still Commander ░░░░░░░░ Chief should be saluting ░░░░░░░░ a military officer So ░░░░░░░░ s actually kind of ░░░░░░░░ weird thing I think ░░░░░░░░ makes a point Those ░░░░░░░░ us who spent all ░░░░░░░░ our lives in civilian ░░░░░░░░ being protected and defended ░░░░░░░░ the military have a ░░░░░░░░ duty I think to ░░░░░░░░ respectful And I m ░░░░░░░░ the president wants that ░░░░░░░░ And I hope they ░░░░░░░░ whoever put that on ░░░░░░░░ Instagram COSTELLO Yes but ░░░░░░░░ this tit for tat ░░░░░░░░ I m just going ░░░░░░░░ put up a picture ░░░░░░░░ you know Democrats are ░░░░░░░░ to be pointing this ░░░░░░░░ picture of President Bush ░░░░░░░░ Barney or who was ░░░░░░░░ what was the Crosstalk ░░░░░░░░ It was Barney This ░░░░░░░░ probably why I wish ░░░░░░░░ could tell you that ░░░░░░░░ more Barney because the ░░░░░░░░ one Crosstalk COSTELLO OK ░░░░░░░░ ll see the picture ░░░░░░░░ a moment I m ░░░░░░░░ There it is HOOVER ░░░░░░░░ here s the STELTER ░░░░░░░░ course he was using ░░░░░░░░ right hand HOOVER Here ░░░░░░░░ why you re not ░░░░░░░░ to see you re ░░░░░░░░ going to see that ░░░░░░░░ much though because nobody ░░░░░░░░ going to accuse a ░░░░░░░░ president who took out ░░░░░░░░ Hussein who overturned the ░░░░░░░░ and who initiated the ░░░░░░░░ war on terrorism COSTELLO ░░░░░░░░ Obama took out Osama ░░░░░░░░ Laden HOOVER as being ░░░░░░░░ on national I know ░░░░░░░░ COSTELLO It s ridiculous ░░░░░░░░ But you are right ░░░░░░░░ narratives Margaret You re ░░░░░░░░ HOOVER But we re ░░░░░░░░ about narratives we re ░░░░░░░░ talking about facts right ░░░░░░░░ He did it s ░░░░░░░░ incumbent on the media ░░░░░░░░ to get above the ░░░░░░░░ and not to play ░░░░░░░░ the narratives the way ░░░░░░░░ think we ve seen ░░░░░░░░ conservative outlets do in ░░░░░░░░ last few hours.”
