CNN's Blitzer Demands Analyst Condemn Trump, Not Interested in Terrorism Discussion

During a midday segment on Middle Eastern relations and terrorism, CNN’s Wolf Blitzer interviewed former ambassador to the U.N., Iraq, and Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad. Blitzer and CNN ostensibly were interested in having Ambassador Khalilzad as a guest on the program for his expert analysis and insight. However, instead of discussing policy, Blitzer instead deliberately derailed Khalilzad’s academic breakdown of the issues in favor of pushing him to criticize President Trump.
