We Did NAZI That Coming: CNN Beclowns Itself Over Elon Musk's Gesture From the Heart

Listen, we understand that the Democrats and the media(but we repeat ourselves) are having a not-so-very-good day. We also understand that they have nothing else to cling to beyond their fevered imaginings that everyone and everything associated with the new Trump administration is somehow a secret code for an impending Nazi regime.

CNN's Erin Burnett and Kasie Hunt omit @elonmusk saying "I'm giving you my heart" after greeting the crowd, failing the "smear @elonmusk as a Nazi without saying Nazi so as to avoid another defamation lawsuit" challenge pic.twitter.com/3Pd0mHO7DE

Can CNN really afford another defamation lawsuit right now?
