They actually are running this on their front page

quote:

The watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, or CREW, points out that the president has been pictured wearing the hat, both in red and in white, in two official photos released by the White House. He wore the white version on his trip to Houston Tuesday.

"Even removed from the hurricane, it's pretty inappropriate," CREW spokesman Jordan Libowitz said.

The issue at play here is free advertising for Trump products, according to CREW.


quote:

Libowitz said he does not believe the president is violating any ethics rules by wearing the hat.

"There is a difference between what is technically legal and what is ethically right," he said.

CNN is worse than the Onion or Infowars. They at least admit there's an entertainment part of what they do.


CNN is a mess in that they seem to really be confused as to why the rest of the world thinks they're completely full of shite.

I hate CNN as much as the next guy but you are kind of misrepresenting the article

They are saying he is advertising the hat he is wearing because he sells them on his website for $40

I think it's badass that he wears a USA hat.
I also think it's a little petty that he also sells them on his website.

They're acting like there was a fricking swastika on the side of the hat. CNN has lost their fricking minds.

So a USA hat...

Is a campaign hat?

I think campaigning for USA during a natural crisis seems reasonable?

Of course CNN hates this...

They see everything pro-USA, as Pro-Trump.

I mean, it's not like he's wearing a MAGA hat or Hillary Sucks hat.

It's incredible to see them double down on everything that has previously backfired on them.

You say that. But at the same time, they did get this board to share their clickbait nonsense and bring in more advertising bucks.

It's despicable that they would sow discord in this country for the sake of profit, but it's tough to really blame them when we are foolish enough to reward them for it.

We really need to get better at sending archived links to their nonsense or they are just going to keep pumping it out. Can we maybe get a permanent sticky with step by step instructions?
