CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan Confronts Anti-Trump Bomb-Thrower Destiny Over Explosive Post

Senior CNN correspondent Donie O’Sullivan confronted popular anti-Trump streamer Steven Bonnell, aka Destiny, over an explosive social media post, asking if he “regrets” sending it.

O’Sullivan, who specializes in reporting on the fringes of the conservative and pro-Trump movement, took a look at the other side in a new report for CNN. He went behind the scenes of an anti-MAGA group that infiltrated the Turning Point USA conference.

In one exchange, O’Sullivan asked Destiny if his provocative posts have made him radioactive to the Democratic Party, and if he regretted one tweet that dealt with the children killed by disastrous flooding in Texas:

DONIE O’SULLIVAN: For Destiny, it’s a ground game that must reflect the online culture he and millions of young Americans are part of, one that is often characterized by un-PC language, insults and crude humor.

Like this tweet Destiny sent poking conservatives by saying the kids who died in the Texas floods were proof that God doesn’t exist.

The tweets you sent about the kids in Texas would probably disqualify you, or would probably have somebody in the upper levels of the Democratic Party say, “Okay, we’ll never work with this guy again.”

Do you regret sending those tweets?

DESTINY: I think they have to get over it. I don’t regret them. I love poking the bear on the right. I feel like Republicans are so good at owning the space.

Republicans do this thing where they say, you know, “Comedy is legal again, and we can joke about anything.”

But when they say “anything,” they really just mean, like, immigrants and Black people, right? Because if you make fun of anything on their side, they lose their minds.

DONIE O’SULLIVAN: I guess it’s your point that, you know? Always trying to take the high ground is clearly not working for Democrats?

DESTINY: One of the things that conservatives stumbled into accidentally, because I think Donald Trump is an idiot, even politically, but they stumbled into this thing where people started to get confused because of what the right and left look like. And I think they think that you need an extremist platform in order to win elections. But what you really need, I think, is just extremist messaging. I think that’s what you need.
