This Clip of CNN’s S.E. Cupp Just Hours Before the WHCD Shooting Last Night Has Aged Like Fine Milk (VIDEO)

Does everyone remember S.E. Cupp? She used to be a conservative commentator on FOX News years ago, but at some point she came down with an incurable case of Trump Derangement Syndrome and went to work for CNN.

Last night, just hours before the shooting at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Cupp made some comments that have not aged well. Like, at all.

With her typical overconfidence and smug sense of moral superiority, Cupp remarked that Trump was being allowed to speak at the WHCD despite the fact that he “wants us [journalists] dead.”

Transcript via Curtis Houck:

“[The @WHCA] made it real easy for him to attend. And I, you know, glad to see everyone’s in great spirits. And this is a party. I’m real bummed. Real bummed about tonight. because here’s what’s happening tonight. Journalism is throwing a party. Journalism is celebrating journalism at this party. Journalism, for some reason, invited Brendan Carr, FCC chair, who is threatening to revoke the licenses of broadcast networks. Pete Hegseth, who removed journalists from the Pentagon, and Donald Trump, who attacks us on the regular.

Now, they’re giving Donald Trump a speaking position to roast us to our faces for an hour. And he doesn’t have to stay for the part where we celebrate journalism and give out awards to journalists and talk about the importance of free speech. And here’s the kicker: we broadcast it on national TV. He could not have planned this scenario better. And guess what? He didn’t. We did. Journalism planned this scenario for Donald Trump. So, if I’m Donald Trump, of course, I come under these conditions.

And you just heard Brian Stelter say that the correspondents association was trying to sort of mend some fences with a guy who wants us dead, figuratively, figuratively. He wants journalism dead. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. I don’t think this is a great night for journalism. It’s a night that’s meant to be celebrating it, but I think it’s a real bummer.”

It’s really sad to see what Cupp has become. Bitter, insufferable, and so often, completely wrong.
