Trump Brought Campaign Supporters to CIA Speech

January 23, 2017 By Taegan Goddard

U.S. government sources tell CBS News that President Trump’s visit to CIA headquarters on Saturday “made relations with the intelligence community worse” and described the visit as “uncomfortable.”

“Authorities are also pushing back against the perception that the CIA workforce was cheering for the president. They say the first three rows in front of the president were largely made up of supporters of Mr. Trump’s campaign.”

Very very bad , very very bad.

If they dont tell the truth, just very very bad.

Wolf: "many there applauded and cheered" : and neither he or his guest then explained why that was.

This is how we lose our democracy.

a writer for The New Yorker, did say that Trump had brought his own cheering section. But you're right; Wolf didn't pick up on it, and he should have. Shame on him.

If only to piss off the Crybaby-in-Chief, these things must be pointed out. Repeatedly. If he's tweeting, he's not starting WWIII.
