One of our ninjas sends us the sad saga of how a CNN luminary, John Harwood, fornicated Fido in relation to the number of “Old Confederacy” states there are, how many Senators are from those states, and their political affiliations. Also how they voted in the recent Impeachment debacle, where the Dems lost so very badly- or will tomorrow.<\/p>\n
By Brian Flood<\/strong><\/p>\n CNN\u2019s new White House correspondent John Harwood was ridiculed over the weekend for a now-deleted tweet that claimed 25 senators who voted against hearing from witnesses during President Trump’s Senate impeachment trial represent \u201cstates of the Confederacy during the Civil War.\u201d<\/p>\n After hours of debate during the day on Friday, the Senate voted 51-49 to block a Democratic motion to call new witnesses.<\/p>\n “Of 51 Republican senators who voted to block John Bolton\u2019s testimony in Trump impeachment trial, 25 represent states of the Confederacy during the Civil War. The old Confederacy represents the bulwark of the 21st century GOP,” Harwood wrote on Saturday.<\/p>\n Harwood\u2019s tweet was met with an onslaught of criticism.<\/p>\n \u201cHarwood, formerly of CNBC, kicked off his new start at CNN on a very humiliating downslope so severe that he had to delete his own embarrassing tweet due to the mocking blowback he received,\u201d Media Research Center contributor P.J. Gladnick wrote.<\/p>\n \u201cHow bad was it? So bad that Harwood reached back almost 160 years in history to compare the senators voting against more witnesses during the Trump impeachment trial to the old Confederacy,\u201d Gladnick explained. \u201cCongratulations to John Harwood for joining the Confederacy of Dunces at CNN. He will fit right in.\u201d<\/p>\n Others took to Twitter to mock the CNN correspondent, with some mocking the comment and others pointing out a math error:<\/p>\n Dan McLaughlin<\/p>\n @baseballcrank Please, please tell me, @JohnJHarwood, that you don’t think your native Kentucky was a Confederate state. https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnJHarwood\/status\/1223694263432765442 \u2026<\/p>\n 621 Charles C. W. Cooke<\/p>\n @charlescwcooke 982 Samantha Chang ? Harwood later deleted his race-baiting tweet after being mocked over an egregious math error he made to promote his false narrative.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Read the rest here: Fox News<\/a> The readers tweets are worth the price of admission.<\/p>\n Thanks ninja!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
\nGiven that only 11 states seceded from the Union, it would be sort of astounding if they were currently represented by more than 22 Senators. How did you count 13?<\/p>\n

\nThat 11×2 = 25, and that the number 25 represents more than half of the number 51 are just two of the interesting things I learned from this tweet. https:\/\/twitter.com\/JohnJHarwood\/status\/1223694263432765442 \u2026<\/p>\n

\nCNN\u2019s newest hire, CNBC defector John Harwood, compared the GOP to the pro-slavery Confederacy of the 1800s. <\/strong><\/p>\n
