CNN ‘extremism expert’ Donie O’Sullivan appeared on the network on Friday night to preview an upcoming program on the subject of political extremism in the country right now and laughably claimed that all the extremism is on the right with no equivalent on the left.
It’s amazing that anyone could say such a thing with a straight face.
The left is attacking Tesla owners and firebombing Tesla dealerships. The left is leading antisemitic mobs on college campuses and in cities. The left is holding up accused murderer Luigi Mangione as some kind of hero. There have been two attempts on Trump’s life by leftists. And that’s not even the end of it.
Does any of that count as extremism?

No ‘Equivalent’; Fake News CNN Insists There’s Only Serious ‘Extremism’ on the Right
CNN’s supposed extremism expert Donie O’Sullivan — whom one could think of as Irish Brian Stelter (and with hair) to get a sense of their worldview — joined Friday’s CNN News Central to preview his latest report for Sunday’s The Whole Story about political extremism and falsely claimed “the issue very much so is on the right” but no “equivalent on the left.”…
Fill-in co-host Jessica Dean — whose husband worked for the Clintons back during their reign in Arkansas — tried to bring balance by telling viewers O’Sullivan’s special will also profile “people who consider themselves fans of Luigi Mangione,” the alleged murderer of United HealthCare CEO Brian Thompson.
O’Sullivan played coy and didn’t address the extremism on the left celebrating the murder.
Instead, he declared that, between January 6 and the August 2017 events in Charlottesville, there shouldn’t be any suggestions there’s serious extremism on both sides:
[W]hen it comes to extremism in this country, I mean, the issue very much so is on the right, on the far-right from — you know, from Charlottesville to — to January 6. There isn’t exactly an equivalent on the left in this moment.

This is how CNN continues to hold the title of fake news. This report is a straight-up distortion of reality and the truth.
