No Butler, No Scalise Shooting: Here Are the Dumbest Moments From CNN’s Special on Hate
15th April 2025
Having been roundly condemned in the days leading up to its premiere and an excerpt flirting with far-left, pro-murder psychopath Taylor Lorenz, CNN correspondent Donie O’Sullivan’s Whole Story episode aired Sunday on “a new kind of American extremism” declaring “violence in the country today is mostly from right-wing extremism” with “simply no equivalent on the left.”
Unsurprisingly, it was pants-on-fire false as O’Sullivan chose to ignore both assassination attempts on now-President Trump, arson attacks on pro-life groups, the Family Research Council shooting, the rampant anti-Semitism inside college campuses, and the 2017 attempted murder of congressional Republicans by a man who was both a Bernie Sanders supporter and MSNBC viewer.
O’Sullivan instead created a strawman fixating like a crazy ex on January 6 defendants, far right figures with vile views who made a point of threatening O’Sullivan’s life, and a designer of 3D-printed guns. Oh, and the now-viral sit-down smiling and giggling with Lorenz about her support for Luigi Mangione, the alleged killer of United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson.
