During CNN’s election night coverage Tuesday, sparks flew when CNN commentator and NewsBusters contributor Jeffery Lord spared with Paul Begala the head of the Pro-Hillary Clinton Super PAC Priorities USA. Begala was defending a deceptive ad his organization produced in 2012 that claimed Governor Mitt Romney killed a steelworker’s wife by canceling his healthcare coverage.
The panel was discussing why Donald Trump’s supporters love him. Lord, who is a Trump supporter, stated they loved him because he hits back against what’s perceived as unfair. As evidence of the unfair attacks from the left Lord pointed to the ridiculous anti-Romney ad from 2012.
