CNN hosted a panel of Republican women this week, who defended President Donald Trump’s recent attacks against several progressive lawmakers of color, but the network failed to disclose all eight of the guests are part of an organized pro-Trump club.

The eight women, who came on the network shortly after CNN gave a platform to white supremacist Richard Spencer to discuss Trump’s racism, are all members of a group they call “Trumpettes of America 2019 Palm Beach Team.” Instead of informing their audience that these women are all dedicated, pro-Trump partisans, CNN correspondent Randi Kaye introduced the panelists using the innocuous label, “Republican women from Dallas.”

Cooper did refer to the women as part of “the president’s base,” but the on-screen description of the panelists simply read, “Republican.”

As for activism that the Trumpettes actually conduct on behalf of the president, the group held a Pennsylvania rally on the same day that the CNN segment aired which featured some of the most notable women Trump supporters, including the president’s daughter-in-law Lara Trump, Trump 2020 senior advisor Katrina Pierson, ex-Fox News host and Donald Trump Jr.’s girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle, and pro-Trump viral sensations Diamond & Silk.

Serious journalistic mistake by CNN to bring on activists close to the Trump campaign and not identify them as such.

1. I thought it a serious breech of journalistic standards in not disclosing their ties NOR having a...

suitable counter group ... very disturbing and what was this, an unpaid campaign ad for rump? The democratic candidates running for office should demand equal air time.

2. Well,Randi Kaye's

once credibility is now shot. Am old enough to remember when she started her Journalism Career and who was her mentor. She was always considered one of the few straight arrows of TV reporters. Getting caught up in a CNN kiss the ass of the Racist White House Occupier,that blows the minds of those who have interacted with her back in Minnesota.

3. It's not a mistake, they do it over and over again.

CNN has featured several interviews with these Trumpettes all the while knowing they are members of a vocal pro-Trump organization.

4. The same group of women?

5. According to the WaPO story yes.

The network also didn’t mention that the Trumpettes have been interviewed on CNN twice before and that they came up reliably in support of Trump on those occasions, too.

8. All I could think of when I saw that group was "Stepford Wives."

Not an independent thinker among them. I bet they freak out if someone doesn't identify them as "Mrs. John Jones or Mrs. Robert Smith."
