Former Rep. Mia Love has joined CNN — the same network her 2018 campaign criticized for reporting on “grossly exaggerated” campaign finance figures.
Love, who lost last year’s re-election bid in a close contest, announced her career move in a tweet Monday.
“A new year brings new opportunities for elevated conversations about the issues that matter. My time in Congress has ended, but the chance to engage Americans is only beginning — I’m excited to join CNN to offer a different, principled, and unleashed perspective,” she said.
Only months ago, as pointed out by the Daily Beast’s Max Tani, Love’s team shot back at CNN for a September report on how her campaign informed the Federal Election Commission that it would refund or re-designate less than half the $1 million-plus the government deemed was inappropriately raised.
“The bias numbers reported by CNN are grossly exaggerated,” Love’s campaign argued in a six-point statement that accused the network of omitting facts.
