Former
Democrat presidential candidate Bernie Sanders was cut off Friday night
during an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett immediately after he
jokingly called the network “fake news.”
The awkward
moment happened Friday when Burnett played a clip of President Donald
Trump denying knowledge of National Security Advisor Michael Flynn’s
alleged talks with a Russian ambassador.
“Well I don’t know. Maybe
he [Trump] was watching CNN fake news,” Bernie jests attempting to mock
Trump, before asking, “What do you think?”
“It was a joke!” the
senator explains to a somewhat bewildered Burnett, but it was too late –
the senator was cut off and he stopped receiving audio to his earpiece.

“Erin? Are we on?” Bernie asks.
“It looks like we’ve lost… connection with Senator Sanders,” Burnett attempts to recover.
The interview continued on the other side of a commercial break, but the flub was deleted from CNN’s “entire interview” upload.
In the past few weeks, the network has strongly objected to the term “fake news.”
Just
the other day CNN anchor Chris Cuomo equated the term, invented by the
left, to a racial denigration on par with the N-word.

But it seems President Donald Trump’s continual mocking of the “fake
news” outlet has worn them down to the point they can’t take a joke.
To me, that makes it ten times funnier.
