David Frum Kasie Hunt Meghan Hays Matt Gorman CNN This Morning 10-28-24 Not that was ever much doubt, but on today’s CNN This Morning, the show she hosts, Kasie Hunt made clear her membership on Team Kamala.

In the context of a discussion of Trump’s MSG rally yesterday, David Frum, an Atlantic editor and Trump-despiser extraordinaire, said that the Trump campaign is all about “rage, contempt, and hate.” 

Frum added that the message of the Trump campaign is:

“Police women [presumably in the sense of keeping tabs on those who might violate state laws restricting abortion], expel people who are different from you. Be angry at the world. Denounce criminals, from the mouth of a convicted criminal himself.”

Frum said that the rally constituted a public service because it showed America “the choice” that they had.

Responding, Hunt said that “David is correct,” and echoed Frum’s words, saying that when she reviewed excerpts from the rally:

“I wrote the top that this choice could not be more stark. Honestly. I mean, you could see it.”

It seems that for Kasie, it’s a choice between, on the one hand, Trump, who offers rage, contempt, hate, a police state against women, expelling people just because they’re different, and denouncing criminals.

And on the other hand, Kamala, who offers . . . well, Kasie didn’t say. But we’ll put her down as favoring joy, and a New Way Forward–whatever that means!

Kasie closed the segment with a heartfelt sigh:

“We got one more Monday before election day — We’ve got a big choice ahead of us.” 

And no one could doubt which choice Kasie was urging people to make!

Note: Frum said that a part of Trump’s platform is to “denounce criminals.” True, Frum added that the denunciation came from someone who had himself been convicted of crimes [bookkeeping crimes in mislabeling hush money payments to Stormy Daniels.]

But whatever Trump’s peccadilloes might have been, does Frum think it’s wrong to denounce criminals? 

Frum also framed Trump’s immigration policy as wanting to expel people who are “different from you.” No. Trump plans to stop the flow of the millions who entered illegally during the last four years. Does Frum favor what amounted to Biden-Harris’ open-border policy? 

Here’s the transcript.

DAVID FRUM: This IS the message. This has always been the message: rage, contempt, hate. 

Police women, expel people who are different from you. Be angry at the world. Denounce criminals, from the mouth of a convicted criminal himself. That’s the message! . . . This rally was a true public service. Show America what is the choice. That’s it. What you saw there was NOT a distraction. It was the truth.

KASIE HUNT: I mean, I will say, when I watched, when I watched the pieces of his rally last night, and again coming in this morning. I mean, there’s a reason I wrote the top that this choice could not be more stark. Honestly. I mean, you could see it.

And David is correct that this is what, I mean, the Trump team is not distancing itself from all the other things that were said at the rally, because they believe it!

. . . 

FRUM: I think it’s upsetting to a lot of Trump voters to face who this guy –that he has never done a good deed in his life. He’s never done a charitable act in his life. He’s a monster.

. . . 

HUNT: All right [big sigh.] Almost, [shakes head] we got one more Monday before election day, and this is where our conversation is. We’ve got a big choice ahead of us.
