Talk about twisting yourself into a pretzel. On Monday morning’s CNN Newsroom, two CNN pundits determined that Hillary Clinton reading Fire and Fury at the Grammy Awards might not have been smart, but the far-left politicization of award shows shouldn’t be condemned and instead taken to heart due to the “damage” President Trump has caused to “the Republican brand.”

To his credit, host John Berman noted that Michael Wolff’s salacious Trump gossip book “is not without controversy” and contains “things...that are simply not true,” including the “unsubstantiated and, frankly, scurrilous rumors” that imply that U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley has been having an affair with the President.
