Report: Member of the January 6 committee 'felt devastated for our democracy' after Jeff Zucker's resignation

We don’t have any names, but we don’t hesitate for a second to believe that the clowns on the January 6 committee who consider everything a danger to our democracy would react that way to Jeff Zucker’s resignation from CNN. As Twitchy reported earlier, WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar held a meeting with CNN’s Washington, D.C. staff and it did not go well. One employee reportedly said they felt “less safe” with Zucker gone.

Vanity Fair is also reporting on the meeting and says that one CNN reporter said that “she was fielding calls from congresspeople, including a member of the January 6 committee, ‘who felt devastated for our democracy’ as a result of Zucker’s departure.”

I'm just going to tweet this straight, but: Jamie Gangel says that in the wake of Zucker stepping down, she heard from congresspeople "who felt devastated for our democracy" as a result of his departure https://t.co/Q0MdJXpyW0 by @joepompeo

Joe Pompeo writes:

… Toward the end of the meeting, in which prominent CNN journalists went hard at Kilar over Zucker’s resignation, special correspondent Jamie Gangel spoke up. “The first calls I got this morning were from four members of the January 6 committee, who felt devastated for our democracy, because Jeff was not going to be around to make sure that CNN is able to do its job,” she said (later clarifying to colleagues that she meant to say four congresspeople, including one member of the committee).

And what exactly is CNN’s job?

This guy Zucker turned CNN into a DNC operation, designed to spread falsehoods about non-existent Russia story, he colluded with Cuomo who sent seniors to the nursing homes with Covid to die. Good riddance! What a despicable prick. Hopefully, the whole CNN Titanic will go down.

When a corrupt, lying, dishonest prick that colluded with Andrew Cuomo as he was shipping seniors with Covid to nursing homes to almost certain death is now a "savior of democracy". You have no shame. Truly.

It’s impossible to overestimate just how dumb Congress is. Every day brings a new example.

Well, nobody likes it when their PR firm is offline, now do they?

Things are getting so bad at CNN, they may go back to reporting straight news for a change.

Is this true? Four members of Congress called Jamie Gangel because they felt devastated for democracy?
