CNN’s John Berman Warns Viewers About ‘Disgusting’ Laura Ingraham and John Yoo ‘Espionage’ Claim

CNN New Day addressed the recent and apparent smear of Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman by Fox News prime time host Laura Ingraham and her guest John Yoo for pointed commentary made Monday night that suggested treason. Vindman, who is set to appear at impeachment inquiry hearings Tuesday morning, was essentially called a spy on Fox News’ Monday evening show.

New Day viewers were shown a segment of Fox News host, Ingraham, referencing a paragraph in a New York Times report about the opening statement of NSC Ukraine expert Lt. Col. Vindman, a (Ukrainian immigrant) in the impeachment inquiry. Yoo reacted to Ingraham by saying “I find that astounding and some people might call that espionage.”

But before running the clip, Berman warned: “but viewer discretion is advised here. What you are about to see is disgusting.”

After the clip aired, co-host Alisyn Camerota chimed in with “There you have it. There’s the talking point.”
