CNN announced the hiring of Twitchy regular Rex Chapman as the new host of a weekly show on CNN+, the network’s new streaming platform:

From CNN:
Chapman is known for celebrating the highs of college basketball and NBA stardom, rebounding from the lows of opioid addiction and now for his viral social media presence where he shares humor and positivity. In that same spirit, Chapman’s weekly CNN+ show will include intimate conversations with athletes, entertainers and everyday heroes as Chapman looks for the silver lining beyond today’s toughest headlines. It will contribute to CNN+’s slate of original, live programming and be available at launch.
This would be the same Rex Chapman who wants hospitals to stop treating the unvaccinated:

And the same guy who thinks conservatives wouldn’t have supported Kyle Rittenhouse if he was Black:

He’s also responsible for spreading a fair bit of misinformation on his popular Twitter feed:

And:
