CNN cuts away from Trump kickoff rally after crowd chants ‘CNN sucks’

Shortly after President Trump began his Tuesday campaign kickoff rally in Orlando, the audience began chanting “CNN sucks.”

The network had been airing the rally until the chant, at which point they cut away.

“This was a defining moment in America history,” Trump said referring to his 2015 campaign announcement. “Ask them right there,” pointing to the media in the back.

The crowd then began chanting “CNN sucks.”

“All right. We’ve been watching the president kick off his reelection bid. He’s been on stage for about six minutes. Within two minutes he did talk about the economy, within four minutes it was attacks on the media,” CNN’s John Berman said.

MSNBC did not air the speech at all.

Some wondered why CNN was airing the rally at all.
