CNN Outraged That Doctors Agree With President Trump

John Harwood CNN

Wednesday morning on "CNN Newsroom," CNN White House correspondent John Harwood was angry at President Trump's allies seeking out doctors who are in favor of reopening the economy to appear on television to publicly back him. CNN had discovered this tactic through a leaked conference call between members of President Trump's reelection campaign. 

Pouncing on this opportunity to bash the president, co-host Jim Sciutto asked Harwood, "Trump's reelection campaign is now recruiting doctors? Friendly doctors who serve as  supporters to help Trump in that message? What are you learning?"

Harwood then made the ridiculous claim that doctors who are in favor of reopening the country amid the coronavirus are the same as lunatic scientists who don't subscribe to global warming or election analysts who believe mail-in voting causes voter fraud. He also made sure to take a swipe at Trump supporters, saying this is why "educated" voters don't support the president:

You can find doctors who will support things that the president is saying about hydroxychloroquine or many other things, just as you can find scientists to say the global warming doesn't exist or you can find economists to say that trade protectionism is good for the economy or you can find election analysts to say that voting fraud is massive and therefore we need to restrict access to the ballot. Remember, the president today is tweeting about Michigan mailing about absentee ballot applications. These are, again, these are all efforts to present a coherent story for his supporters, but this is also why, that the Republican party and Trump himself have been hemorrhaging support among college educated voters because most of these assertions that I just went through, are not true.
