CNN’s politics account is doing some clean-up for the Biden campaign after President Trump made a mean comment about Joe Biden Thursday.

CNN Politics countered Trump’s “baseless attack” on Biden by quoting from the Biden campaign’s response claiming that “Biden’s faith is at the core of who he is.” We believe that like we believe Speaker Nancy Pelosi prays for Trump every night.

Dana Loesch wasn’t having it:
The guy denied communion at a church because of his suppport for taxpayer funded abortion on demand says faith is at the core of who he is https://t.co/utPLzHKSOL

I mean, taxpayer funded infanticide is exactly what comes to mind when I think of a person of deep faith.
— Dana Loesch (@DLoesch) August 6, 2020
The devout man of faith who would rescind the exemption for Little Sisters of the Poor and force US taxpayers to fund international abortion advocacy. Sure, ok.

The man of “deep faith” who apparently believed some people were somehow more redeemable in the sight of God because of their race, thus vociferously championed segregation, and even today questions the authenticity of someone’s ethnicity if they don’t vote for him.

It gets better. The Daily Caller News Foundation reached out to CNN for comment on its fact-check calling Biden “a practicing Catholic,” but Matt Dornic, head of strategic communications for CNN, only commented, “This is really gross.”

Why?

Absolutely. CNN fact-checkers commenting on religion should know the basics of the Catholic faith. https://t.co/TWyvrbmA20

Hi Matt, do you recognize that there are facts in Catholicism, that to be described as a Catholic (or even "devout Catholic"), you should agree with certain concepts?
You can't recognize this as an actual fact matter for journalists?

What’s gross about it? https://t.co/YOU5339KkI

The Head of Strategic Comms at @CNN is to avoid all facts as a condition of employment. https://t.co/uBu9JuldCd

What’s gross about it? The American people would like to know. https://t.co/qgf5nR40HY

Your network posted a story on Joe Biden being denied communion. That’s a very fair question. https://t.co/pvxlfJJ5Xh https://t.co/kWgIYUMnKF

This is how they psy-op us into having to play along with the idea that the various nominally Catholic organizations supported by huge lefty philanthropies that hate the Church are also just fine. https://t.co/zNtGxJ8fLO

And yet the Little Sisters of the Poor are criminals who need to be dragged through the justice system for years all the way to the Supreme Court.
They hate being held accountable. https://t.co/9umv7j6t99

Hi Matt, think it's a fair question for your network. Thanks. https://t.co/fDsmtVAXTv

Asking journalists to do their job is gross? https://t.co/LEkPwi3RzU

While we don’t know what’s in his heart, it’s hard to be a “practicing Catholic” if you have been denied Holy Communion by church leaders who repeatedly warned you about promoting policies that directly violate one of the most important tenants of our faith: sanctity of life. https://t.co/rgi6JIrB11

This is really gross and childish from Matt https://t.co/Z0sBwjZUK5
— Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) August 6, 2020
serious person™ at CNN gets offended when someone asks if they’ll fact check joe biden’s on-the-record stances against the teachings of the catholic church
but @CNN’s time is better spent fact checking how many scoops of ice cream trump had for dessert, right? https://t.co/SImqLhsh6O

The underlying assumption is that if someone calls himself a practicing *something* there can be no argument, even if actions, beliefs, and public life directly contradict the statement. https://t.co/rhyPXWKdiT

The questions are legit. Obviously you have no answers https://t.co/IVTtvYJVZm
— MaryAnnNotGinger (@MAnotGinger) August 7, 2020
Nope this is an incredibly fair question & one most Democrats who hold similar views should probably think about themselves. https://t.co/nF8Ird3upW

CNN openly supports Biden. https://t.co/UrSIvVCnKV
— Dan Gainor (@dangainor) August 6, 2020
Duh.
Why is it gross? Seems like a legitimate, if loaded, question. Flacks tweeting out queries instead of answering them seems kind of gross. https://t.co/EBjbxnA6aA

Is CNN going to play up Biden’s faith in campaigning for him or are they going to leave that alone?
