CNN fell for Martha McSally's trap because it's learned nothing from Trump

Martha McSally played the media, and they rewarded her with 24 hours of free campaigning for taking the bait.

The Arizona senator enters her special election primary already besieged by smears from the MAGA crowd, and Democratic senatorial hopeful Mark Kelly has lapped McSally in fundraising for their 2020 faceoff in the general election. As the clock ticks closer to November, McSally needs to do two things: boil up the base and churn out donations. With her Thursday stunt, she used CNN to achieve both.
