Trump went into full beast mode during CNN Town Hall after being inspired by AOC’s tweet.

Donald Trump Fires Up During CNN Town Hall

Last week’s CNN town hall featuring former president Donald Trump was nothing short of explosive. During the commercial break, Trump’s adviser Jason Miller showed him tweets from Democrats, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who were upset at his good performance and CNN’s failure to shut him down. This fired up Trump even more, and he came out of the break more aggressive in his sparring with moderator Kaitlan Collins.

Democrats Criticize CNN for Hosting Trump

One of the tweets that Trump saw was from Ocasio-Cortez, who was furious at CNN for hosting the former president. “CNN should be ashamed of themselves,” she tweeted. “They have lost total control of this ‘town hall’ to again be manipulated into platforming election disinformation, defenses of Jan 6th, and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim.” Trump’s team reportedly told him to keep doing what he was doing, and he saw another tweet from former Democratic presidential candidate Andrew Yang, who said the event was “a clear win for Trump” in the GOP field “and probably overall.”

Record-Breaking Viewership

The Wednesday town hall drew a whopping 3.3 million viewers, according to Nielsen Media Research data. “That figure represents more than three times the number of viewers CNN has earned during the 8 p.m. hour in recent weeks,” the Hill reported. Yang and Ocasio-Cortez were far from alone in their criticism of CNN. Several prominent Democrats and media personalities, including several at the network itself, tore into CNN for allowing Trump to speak.
