CNN host Kasie Hunt is now under fire by fellow liberals for daring to criticize Democrats in the wake of Gavin Newsom’s victory in the California recall election.
As Fox News reports:
CNN’s newest hire Kasie Hunt was scolded from the left for breaking rank with the liberal network Tuesday night by criticizing Democrats following the California recall election.
Hunt, who joined CNN this month after eight years at MSNBC, took to Twitter after embattled Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom survived the recall and was condemned by some of the viewers to whom her new employer typically caters.
Democrats need to prove they can govern for EVERYBODY, and if you look at California — it's not necessarily the best test case for national Democrats (see: concern about homelessness, crime, etc) (2/)

Obviously California is a Special Place — but the fact that a Democratic national star in waiting *faced* a recall and then had to fight hard for it midway through the campaign does say a lot about the potential challenges Democrats face across the map (4/)

Hunt’s comments were quickly ratioed as prominent lefties appeared irked that CNN’s chief national affairs analyst didn’t toe the company line.
Oh this is just plain old stupid. https://t.co/BiPgLGefZJ

How does a really good news anchor get this so very wrong? We all make mistakes. I employ Ms Hunt to take a second look at this and perhaps, rewrite it with a renewed outlook. I'm not giving up on her. She's better than this take. @CNN @CNNplus https://t.co/59mwsBD7FV
