‘Actually, boo — it’s you I dislike’: Soledad O’Brien goes off on CNN commentator

Jul 29, 2017

Soledad O’Brien is not happy that CNN, the network she used to work at, is employing Trump yes men.

On Friday, she responded to a tweet that Lawrence O’Donnell sent out where he asked if CNN really needed another Jeffrey Lord. Seemingly wondering if the cable news network should hire outgoing White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.

O’Brien answered that the network doesn’t even need the one they have.

Lord saw the tweet exchange and threw himself into the mix. He dared O’Brien to say that she is a liberal with “hate” for Donald Trump.

Her answer was cutting, she said, “Actually, boo- it’s you I dislike.”

Priebus gets fired and immediately starts auditioning for cable news gig. Does CNN really need another Jeffrey Lord?

CNN doesn't even need the Jeffrey Lord it has (unofficial polling of my followers). https://t.co/jSNTVKB7Dz
