COLLINS: Why it is only blue states or cities that the administration is targeting? BURGUM: When you look at the top 20 or 25 largest cities in this country, virtually all of those are the ones that have crime issues and are run by a particular party
“He would like best if he got invited in.” I’m sure he would. Reminds me of a Literature of the Occult class I took in college. It’s a long standing tradition that evil can’t enter a house unless it’s invited in.
Data speaks for itself. Red means dead. Stay away from these murder capitols.
Send money if you are so desparate to 'help', idiot features,
Including DC as a state is misleading here. It should be compared to cities. When it is, it is low down on the list and cities in Red states are all at the top.
Call out his lies…. Memphis, St. Louis, Little Rock, Cleveland, Birmingham. It’s not hard.
Oooh, they got us. We’re FOR crime. Checkmate. No mas! No mas!
Did she push back? Or did she let it go?
NO. CRIME RATES ARE HIGHEST IN SEVERAL RED STATES. Louisiana has more murders per capita than San Francisco for example.
bsky.app/profile/shak...
Demonstrably false. But our media only listens. "Ours is not to reason why."
All Cities have crime! All counties in the entire USA have crime! WTH is up with CNN boiling us longer in the pot for this admin?
At least she tried. Do NOT let them get their point across. The truth is, it is only Dem cities being targeted and Trump wants NO partnership to fight crime. He wants the appearance of a tough guy, the photo op.
It’s intimidation on blue states.
It is.
Republicans are the WORST!
Who the hell is this clown spewing propaganda?
He couldn’t even say that it’s red states that have the highest crime rates. He subverted the info didn’t name the party that has the highest crime rate in their states implied blue states when he knows it’s red states. Caught him in double speak.
What the f is the point of Kaitlin Collins if not to point out that what he said isn't actually true.
💯 @kaitlancollins.bsky.social continues to provide worldwide access for republican fascist to spread their lies
What he said isn't totally false, since he didn't say which "certain party" is the one with the crime infested cities. 😄
Actually he kind of did say the truth, just that it's not the party he is referring to.
He is referring to the fact that high-crime cities in red states often have democrat mayors.
At this point, CNN should just use real parrots to ask the questions. There's no need for actual thinking. 🦜
She loves the access to Trump. She has his direct line. @kaitlyncollins.bsky.social
Your white affluent pretty woman.. laws don’t apply to her, at least not in the same way they do to the rest of us. Maybe she has yr job but do you think she’s really compelled to push back? None of it has ever actually affected her, it’s all theoretical to people like her
Right. When he points to D’s not wanting federal help, she should ask then why did Trump revoke billings in federal funding. When he points to crime rates, she should follow with Red states stats that are higher than the cities NG is deployed. Corporate media is garbage.
And then the next question is .... Nothing.
The point of Kaitlin Collins is to enable right-wing propaganda.
Thank you. Don't give them a platform to lie. Collins is helping them by giving them a platform & not calling out their bullshit. Not holding them accountable in real time. So the message - a lie - lands with listeners who don't take the time to research the truth. It's Collins job to call bullshit.
What part about what he said isn't true?
bsky.app/profile/pete...
She’s CNN. CNN is little better than Fox anymore.
Yep I blocked them on all my news feeds
Since CNN went both-sides ways, they've been as useless as Fox is complicit.
Every media outlet that’s owned by a billionaire will do the same. The billionaires want the Republicans because Republicans won’t regulate them and tax them.
Yea, it's not just CNN it's all of them. Sure they get to push back a little bit from time to time but nothing that would make the regime look too bad.
Exactly! 💯
I think it’s more akin to the fact capitalism is dead, and given the choice between socialism and fascism, the billionaires and the two political parties they own prefer fascism to socialism by 3 to 0.
Yes, because wealth loses power under socialism. But too bad, so sad for them. There are way more of us than them.
Wealth doesn’t just lose power under socialism, it loses status and privilege. Fascism exaggerates their wealth, their power, their status, and their privilege.
I hear you and I agree, but after a certain amount, how much money can you use? that question really bothers me
Me too. The greed is revolting.
They are willing to kill us all to save a few bucks.
She’s also former daily wire
CNN is owned by a particular person now.
No shit. She HAD to have the red/blue city crime stats at the ready. WTF.
It’s ironic that this bolsters the case of those who say she’s only there as eye candy.
I’m assuming she didn’t pursue the line of inquiry?
People are just plain lazy. They think he’s gonna croak soon so they’re letting everything slide. Meanwhile, we’re sliding into authoritarianism and he’s probably gonna live into his 90s.
Nothing more relaxing than rolling the ball don’t the court. Also, many are yet to be hard hit. So they have the luxury of doing that.
She literally went college->Daily Caller->CNN.
And was born into a certain look
My point exactly!
Well it’s partially true, the cities with the highest crime rates are all controlled by one party, that party is the GOP…he just got the party wrong
The point of Kaitlin Collins is to read whatever they put in front of her. I'd be surprised if they let her ask her own questions or ad lib in interviews.
@cnn.com isn’t interested in finding the facts & show what liars these MAGA clown are. They lead them to a point, then let them off the hook along with their lies.
Clearly they're targeting Dem cities while completely ignoring the FACT that crime is higher in many Rep cities. Obviously, it's NOT about crime. It's about placing the military in Dem cities in an effort to intimidate & terrorize Dem voters. Hoping that the we have a Blue tsunami for the midterms 🌊
(G)roping (O)ld (P)edophiles only strategy is Deny, Project, and Distract.
Yep.
Exactly.
Don't wait for the midterms. There may be elections in your area THIS YEAR. Everyone should check this with their local elections board. #VoteEveryYear
Did she fact check him on that crime statistics?
Yes, highest crime rates are in states run by Republicans.
No, I know it's political. Just as sure as a POC knows that it is racist.
WRONG!
The cities most frequently flagged as the highest in violent crime and homicide rates. St. Louis, MO – Red Detroit, MI – Memphis, TN – Red Baltimore, MD – Kansas City, MO – Red Jackson, MS - Red
America has a journalist problem
W/main stream media, yeah. There are other sources.
All the main stream outlets will be prop again soon. MSNBC just got its name changed to MSNOW, what’s that all about?
Because the #Epsteinfiles are missing.
Here's the actual 2024 data on violent crime in US cities. A mix, but far more red states than blue in the 25 most crime-ridden. And neither DC nor Chicago make the cut.
It's easier when you realize that she's not a Journalist or even a Reporter. She's a mouthpiece for the agenda of a billion dollar corporation
This is not an administration. These people don't administrate. They don't know how. These people act from their dispositions and issue edicts. They are a regime.
I’m so absolutely sick of journalists, and they are journalists, not doing their fu**ing job. This is absolutely a lie and she just sits there and lets him spew the lies. There is data that counters this. How can you not have any data to throw back at these propaganda machines as they lie.
If they push back too hard, the fascists won't appear on their programs anymore, which they seem to think would be a bad thing. They're much more worried about ratings than democracy.
I find myself screaming at Welker on Sunday mornings, “correct him! You know the right answer! He’s lying!” But it didn’t work with weak Chuck Todd either. They need Mike Wallace juice.
Apparently the Wallace juice skipped a generation. 😡
😡😡🤬
Yet you keep watching.
Watched Lavrov with his dead eyes lie to the world about killing civilians. He’s probably terrified of Rachel Maddow but showed up Sunday.
Welker is horrible at interviewing people. She fails to ask needed follow up questions even when the interview subjects are obviously lying.
OMG, just can't with Welker anymore!
Don’t watch!
What we really need is Edward R. Murrow.
Let’s replace these cable “news” talking heads with potted plants and see if anyone can tell the difference.
Why do I think he smells like Aqua Velva?
And lunchtime booze.
Yet all of the highest crime rate cities are in Red States, including Capital cities, she should be pushing back and asking why the governors of the states aren't addressing the issues
Just another ignorant clown
So states can ask for millions of federal dollars to fight crime but they can’t ask for millions of federal dollars to feed hungry people or pay medical costs or build schools or... I feel like I pay more and more taxes and it gets funneled to private interests rather than helping everyone.
Quit sending in federal monies. What can they do? Put you in jail? They are going to anyway, eventually
Here is the list of 25 most dangerous cities maybe they should have gone to Memphis TN first🤡🤡🤡
Sorry started at Memphis ended minneapolis
I’m just guessing here, but is it safe to assume you’re referring to the Fascist Trump Regime? 😳 😉
Yes.
It fits him so well!!
Thanks for platforming liars and allowing them to lie uncorrected CNN! God, you suck!
Lying dtrumpf imbecile If stopping crime is the real intention, then go after the cities with the cities highest and most violent crime rates dtrumpf is targeting democratically elected leaders in big cities Law and order? This White House needs to follow the law and respect our constitution
I struggle to pinpoint the dumbest cabinet member. I still think it’s Bessent, but doofus here is on the list (with the rest.)
I live in one of those republican counties that rely on the prison system. I totally believe this!
Good one! Thanx
I just said this same thing in a different post, but I get the feeling that asking them why they’re not doing it in red cities is kind of like saying “if you do it in both blue AND red cities, you’re good to go!” I’d rather we make the point that this isn’t ok anywhere in the US
Fuck Burgum and fuck CNN, for giving him a platform.
#KingCorruption Trump has passed his lying disease on to his fellow Republicans. I guess there is nothing like sleeping in the same bed. Epstein is the sensation, the complete loss of all integrity & morality is the root of the evil.
I thought red cities had more or as many issues. Like the rest of the cabinet, Burgum not credible?
So their claim is that only blue states deserve to have the federal funding spent on helping with their crime rates? This then means red states are being deliberately deprived of those same federal funds in favor of Democratic led cities. Why does Trump hate red states, and refusing to help them?
Exactly. You'd think that he'd make a point to go in red states first so that, not only would he have Republican governors to support his agenda/efforts of such policing, but given successful outcomes, he'd have a strong case to do it in blue states. But he's doing all this b.s. to bully Liberals.
If he had targeted red states first, and racked up some easy victories, arguing his deployment to blue states would've been a lot more justifiable too. Luckily, Trump has the patience of a toddler with ADHD, and can't work a long con to save his life.
😆👏👏👏
And the highest crime rates are in trump party areas
Because he wants us out, he wants the red states to be with him because he needs to vote votes because everybody hates him
Cities are creatures of the state in which they exist. They are subordinated for the most part to the state government. How many of those cities are in GOP run states? And how many have gun problems because they abut states with few gun laws? Chicago net to Indiana comes readily to mind.
Pa has a Dem governor but for years both chambers of the legislature were run by the GOP. Philly tried passing gun laws but the GOP state legislature nullified them
Does no one ever ask them to name a “red city”? Or, like 5?
Republicans?
Another platform of lies.
I mean, that's an easy rebuttal.
Bullshit, as laid out by JD Pritzker yesterday in Chicago.
Which you defunded and robed of money to fight crime so you can pay for the national guard to do PR for you.
Every blue state local, resident and Gov has a defamation claim against media that platforms straight up lies.
And that party is Republican.
"I completely concur with the president" is the polite way to publicly suck trump's dick on air....JFC, Burgum is a fuckin idiot!
Why don't we have interviewers like this any more... www.youtube.com/watch?v=mW1N...
Why are 27 of the 30 largest U.S. cities led by Democratic mayors, and only 2 by Republicans? It’s not because of crime. So if you want to talk about urban governance, don’t start with crime stats. Start with why urban voters keep rejecting GOP governance.
quiet part, out loud
“are run by a particular party… this is not a partisan thing…” HOW DO YOU CONTRADICT YOURSELF IMMEDIATELY AFTER WITH A STRAIGHT FACE?!
“states should run the show”… Conservatives, all of a sudden, think that governors should call the the White House for military troops? Their traitor, confederate idols would be rolling in their graves 🤣🤣🤣 Imagine a Republican governor calling for “help” with crime in Tulsa, OK… lol yeah right
So, did she follow that up with the list of Republican cities that are high crime areas? And why Trumpy isn’t targeting them?
She knew he was going to say this so I am going to assume she was immediately able to counter this, right?
Why are they paying hosts so much money to just sit there expressionless?
If CNN is going to broadcast this level of destructive dishonesty that only works to support the authoritarian regime, then we need to just stop paying attention. Let CNN compete with Fox News for Republicans viewers. They will lose, and we will have one less network broadcasting propaganda.
What about crime per capita as a follow up..
Call Burgum out for the LIE
LIAR - LIAR
Accounting Software Exec is an expert on Crime and Policing….. So MAGA it hurts!
What a stupid question. We all know why. Say that.
Collins, do your fucking job.
Political retribution and establishment of a police state. Call it what it is.
Lies! Call him out!
@secretaryburgum.bsky.social Another liar. Most of the crime is in red states/cities.
More bullshit!
True, and that party is the Republican Party!
Lying bitch.
The largest are the most successful. Are you sure you want to give credit like that?
We will become a police state because Trump doesn’t know what per capita means. And worse the media and Republican leaders know but they are in on the lie.
Yeah, the Republican Party!!
We need journalists/interviewers to take lessons from @kylec.bsky.social . He's fabulous.
WTF CAITLIN. WHAT GOOD ARE YOU? HE'S LYING, YOU MF!!!!!!
Because Blue States didn’t vote for him the revenge tour continues.
What a bunch of horse shit. He’s just trying to double talk his way around all of this. It’s so transparent.
Gaslighting & lying is their only game.
The largest cities are primarily run by Democrats, that’s true. But the most murderous cities are run by Republicans.
Lying cunt
Well there’s a big sack of lies right there.
Fvk off piss ant
They could just say “states with more Blacks and Hispanics”. Only bigots believe those numbers.
“A particular party”? Yeah. The Republican Party.
👆
Zero pushback. Don't watch them.
Kaitlyn Collins is the CNN version of Kristin Welker..
Holy fucking GISH GALLOP batman. learn how to fucking interview people CNN.
Liar!
Reporters need to carry a loud buzzer or air horn to blow when lies are spit out
I love this idea.
Uh…yeah… almost all are Republican cities in Red States.
Lies.
No they are not fuckface
He ignores the ratio of the red states because he is a dumb racist bigotty motherfucker. Can’t buy intelligence.
MAGA is so dumb, they think they will be immune to Civil War.
Well, as usual from this administration, that’s a lie.
He is right they are all republican led
Looks like she was about to call bullshit but didnt
Right? I am literally yelling at the screen!!! Hurry up and call his bullshit. I mean wtaf? C’mon Media. Challenge the gaslighting. You have one job!!!
Yea Red
Wrong!
Lies!!
Feeling like journalists who don’t call out that bullshit immediately should stop calling themselves journalists anymore. I know Collin’s has called shit out before but cmon…you have to keep doing it! As soon as you stop it normalizes this shit!
Kaitlin you CUNT, no push back , this FVCKING CLOWN is LYING - FFS CALL HIM OUT - FVCK CNN
Red states rank worse in crime, poverty, education, healthcare, gun safety, and the environment, yet they claim blue states are the problem. Blue states are the backbone of the country, carrying the financial and social weight that keeps it running.
Perhaps he means largest cities where their political enemies live
Exactly! Good ole CNN enabling the spread of disinformation under the guise of fair and equal journalism.
For profit news is the #1 cause for the fall of democracy. A free fact based press and journalistic integrity are the cornerstone of democracy and functional society.
With today's media, Nixon would have served full term
No doubt. None of this insanity would exist if the press maintained their essential ethics and obligations.
If today's media environment existed then, Nixon would still be "President" because the Republicans would have done this decades ago.
Very likely
As usual.
The problem is they give these liars a platform and then don't present facts back in real time for the do my own research/trust me bro drones.
so close to getting it
Liars and asskissers = Republican cabinet
@kaitlancollins.bsky.social Did Collins say this isn't true or sit silent & allowed him to lie? As long as the media news hosts allow them to lie & don't call it out in real time, their propaganda is repeated & believed. Blue states & cities have less crime then red states & cities.
Google AI says he's wrong. In fact the city with the most crime is in Tennessee, a very Red state.
Google AI thinks that firefighters aren't mammals
This guy has a single brain cell and it's misfiring.
They do Not have the highest crime rates, you lying sack of shit! Burgum is a fucking LIAR!
And just like a "step right up ladies and gentlemen" snake oil man, he told the tallest bullshit lies 🙄
Prior to his current job, he was Governor of North Dakota. When he got the Covid relief funds from the Fed he handed it over to the oil companies. I kid you not. And North Dakotans didn't even blink an eye. North Dakota voted 71% Trump 1st term, and 69% Trump second term. Extreme right wing.
North Dakota is one of the worst places to be in, in North America.
He sure did SaxA and that's why trump chose him, cause he's as crooked as trump
Extreme. Abortion extreme.
🤢🤮 lies, lies, lies and repeat!
You mean the places where all the people live.
yeah, it's that last part of the sentence that is telling....
Provable lies
Meaning they didn't vote for sir.
Memphis, murder capital of the US.
Why are you allowing them to lie after lie after lie
Targeting. Idiots. Fuck off.
Murder rates are higher in the ridge States and we just had another mass shooting in Alabama. It's not blue states that need help, it's Trump's retribution to the people who didn't vote for him.
This is what they do, lie and keep talking to eat the clock. If she was any good at being a journalist, she’d stop him right there and call him a liar.
And no, of course she didn't push back. Main stream media is not journalism anymore, it's propaganda.
Homicide of hominids.
The crime statistics across red states tell a very different story. Burgum is lying. Odd.
No push back?
NEVER- all they do is ‘take notes’ never a follow up - years ago thought she was on a path to being a good reporter- no longer
We don’t have free press.
Completely agree!
It has literally been years since they have done any push back. I'm glad people are noticing now.
They pushed back at everything Biden said or did, or ignored it.
Really did. And then only asked Harris stupid questions based on Trump’s talking points.
Yep.
Sorry, I should have been more specific: it has been years since they have done any push back on tRUmp or Republicons.
😐
It’s INFURIATING
This is so frustrating to watch. Can someone please give her a dictionary and highlight PUSH BACK.
“Well, Kaitlin, it’s mostly because we hate black and brown people and democrats too”. - Doug’s thought bubble
As my wife said after listening to this bozo, “he has drank way too much of trumps kool-aid” sad!
It’s exactly the opposite and ass kisser Burgum knows that. Red states have far more crime per capita than blue states.
and the filibustering without coming up for air
#1 in violent crime: Memphis, Tennessee: 2: Detroit, Michigan: 3. Little Rock, Arkansas 4. St. Louis, Missouri, New Orleans, Louisiana, had the highest homicide rate. All states that voted for Trump.
The most stuff happens where the most people live! A shocking revelation if it can be believed.
Big if true.
Liar.
COLLINS: But that's simply not true. BURGUM: Of course it's true. President Trump said it is true and that many people have been saying it. Why do you question your leader, Caitlin? Do you want a tax audit or a freeze on your credit cards?
Omg! Listen to your leader?? Jesus fucking Christ! 🙄
Yes. OMFG!
Burgum is threatening a jounalist!!!
BS! New Mexico State & cities population does not even come close in population numbers, yet we are on that muther fuckin list!!!
Take another swig of that Kool aid buddy.
Hey Burgum, recheck your stats on crime. Then send your goons to red cities.
Yes, they’re run by a particular party. Doug, have you forgotten how to say “ the Republican Party”?
Good work, Doug. It’s in ur contract. Lie ur ass off bc if T says it, th 1st requirement of ur job is t back up his lies w urs. Th Founders cld envision a corrupt prez. They just didnt think tht an entire political party wld wallow in tht corruption. Th term guardrail is extinct among Republicans.
It's a well known fact that blue states and cities have very strick gun laws so trump thinks they will be easy to intimidate.
These people are suppose to be smart. This guy can’t even read a statistical chart. Now that is plain dumb and a sign of lack of intelligence. Wow. Never knew how uneducated our leaders are yet they have these so called purchased degrees. Let’s dumb down America.
Yeah, this backwoods, inbreeding, bullshit lack of intelligence has got to stop. They all have a third-grade education and have no business running a lemonade stand, much less a city, state, or country.
Ass hole
@cnn.com @kaitlancollins.bsky.social are you pushing back on lies?!
AND SHE NEVER PUSHED BACK WITH THE ACTUAL FKNG FACTS THAT SHOW RED STATES HAVE OUT OF CONTROL CRIME COMPARED TO THE STATES AND CITIES BEING TARGETED.FK COLLINS AND ALL THE USELESS, ASS KISSING MEDIA. JFC
Why are they even bothering to lie about it? Who are they trying to convince?
Yeah. That party is the Grand Old Pedophiles.
We really shouldn't attack the states that are funding the Federal government and welfare states. It's almost as bad as letting parasites kill their host.
Bullshit, Burgum. Read the stats.
Why do they act like they have to fight high populated cities? There's high crime in low populated areas too. They're all so very, very stupid. They were stupid with Covid and now they're being ignorant about crime.
He's just lying.
Republican...
I mean, he's half right.
Why didn't @kaitlancollins.bsky.social ask right away: Then how come the RED STATES have HIGHER CRIME RATES than Chicago, NY, Washington DC, Baltimore, etc? Why do we treat these motherfuckers always with gloves, be it on #MeetThePress or on #CNN, the only two venues these pricks dare to show on?
Another reason why I DO NOT watch @cnn.com
But…hey, Doug! The smaller cities, the ones with a HIGHER PER CAPITA crime rate? Yeah, those are pretty much all run by one party, too. Yours.
Collins: How big was the fish you caught this weekend? Burgum: It was a record breaking 73 pound Lake Trout.
Lying POS
It’s called RETRIBUTION 🙄
Republicans can’t win in wealthy cities anymore. The largest city Republicans have left are Fresno, Oklahoma City, and Ft. Worth. And all have high crime.
Should I be the one to tell him…
Interestingly, large cities do face more social challenges, but isn't it a bit simplistic to attribute this solely to political parties? What do you think is the root cause of the problem?
Crime in big cities, as well as in small localities continue to suffer from decades of malicious decision-making and policies which created impoverished conditions which affected generations of families that were already living under the poverty line. Breaking the cycle of poverty takes generations.
Because they're trying (really hard) to provoke protests which are sufficiently large enough to pretend he needs to declare actual marital law. This is and always was the end game.
Asshole!!!
dumb question. dumber response.
Liar. Red states fare worse.
If they instead of sending in the military, funded local police sources to adequately protect citizens, they wouldn’t be spending so many hundreds of million dollars in salaries to the National Guard
Virtually everyone in that particular party can read, and already knows Pinocchio Burgum's crime stats don't meet muster. getsafeandsound.com/blog/most-da...
Columbus is the 14th largest city in the country. We have crime but I guarantee you that nobody is sending those idiots here because that would not sit well in a red state.
The power of the people: BOYCOTT BOYCOTT BOYCOTT
Yes, shit-for-brains, they’re run by Republicans…the party that loves & protects #ChildRapists…… they naturally protect other criminals…
Yes run by Republicans
I can’t imagine spending my whole life dreaming of being a big news journalist only to spend my time in the limelight continually letting the truth die in front of millions.
Because BLUE STATES and BLUE CITIES will not play a "dead cockroach" for him, like the RED STATES and spineless RED POLITICIANS are doing...
"run by a particular party", the Republican party.
Useless journalist.
It's embarrassing
Top crime “cities “in this country are in Southern states… check your facts!!
Liar
Does he think that everyone is stupid? 😳🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
Obviously, a lot of people are.
