Here is brief round-up of Senator McSally’s confrontation with CNN.

The long knives are out again for Arizona’s Sen. Martha McSally because she spoke the truth.  She called a CNN reporter, “a liberal hack.”

When CNN’s Manu Raju rudely accosted her in hallway as she was heading for her office, shouting, “Senator McSally, should the Senate consider new evidence as part of the impeachment trial?” McSally responded with, “Manu, you’re a liberal hack.  I’m not going to talk to you.” The Arizona Republic’s resident bleeding-heart liberal, Laurie Roberts, who, along with her left-leaning colleague E. J. Montini, have done a series of hit pieces on McSally after Gov. Doug Ducey selected her to fill the seat of the late John McCain.  Most recently, they have written negative columns because she supports President Trump, as she should.

Just like those sour grapes, spiteful individuals, who have disliked President Trump since the day he defeated their candidate in 2016, and have spent the last three years attempting to bring down his presidency, they have targeted McSally for defeat in 2020.

Like Trump isn’t Hillary, McSally isn’t McCain.

The media generally fawned over McCain, because he was that “maverick” who frequently took on his own party.  The media loved it when McCain called his colleagues names with the “f” word or an “a” word included.  When he called a member of the media “a jerk” it was just John McCain, the maverick.

It has been written that there are many causes for the liberal media’s long love affair with McCain, but key among them is that like many elites, McCain shared with them an unconcealed disdain for swaths of the GOP grassroots, particularly amplified by the conservative media.

The media loved it when the vindictive McCain walked onto the Senate floor with his “thumbs-down” vote on the repeal of Obamacare.

“Stop listening to the bombastic loudmouths on the radio and television and the Internet,” McCain once said.  “To hell with them.”

In Roberts’ Saturday column, she again attacked McSally for her loyalty to Trump, saying, “McSally has made no secret of where she stands on the impeachment of President Donald Trump … you’d think she’d want to at least put up the illusion that she’s willing to take seriously her role as an important juror.”

Obviously, Roberts missed the on-camera “guilty” statements made by Senators Schumer, Blumenthal, Coons and Harris just minutes after taking the oath to render “impartial justice.”

To borrow a phrase from Roberts – you’d think Roberts would want to at least put up the illusion that she’s an objective journalist.

As expected, most of the media have come to side of CNN and Raju.  Not David Marcus of The Federalist, who wrote, “I’d like to inform CNN that you don’t get to come to the playground, smack everyone around and then run to the teacher when they hit back.”

Marcus followed with a list of a dozen individuals, including James Comey, Robert Mueller and Michael Avenatti, all of whom you told your viewers were likely to take down Trump.

Alluding to Raju’s hallway ambush of McSally, Marcus said, “If CNN can’t understand why GOP lawmakers don’t want to stop and chat with people whose sole purpose is to make them look bad, then it needs a reality check.”

CNN’s Jake Tapper couldn’t resist tweeting a response he received from an anonymous (naturally) member of the McCain family: “There’s no love lost between our family and her.”

“I respect Governor Ducey’s decision to appoint Martha McSally to fill the remainder of his term,” Cindy McCain tweeted then.  Some say it was written begrudging.  “Arizonans will be pulling for her, hoping that she will follow his example of selfless leadership,” she concluded.

I hope it wasn’t Cindy who spoke to Tapper.  I think it was more likely Meghan McCain, who has been outspoken in her disdain for Trump.
