A CNN panel found itself in a shocking position during a discussion about the decision by Donald Trump's campaign to invite a controversial comic to tell racist jokes at his Madison Square Garden rally.
They discovered they agreed with far-right commentator Megyn Kelly.
"It was too bro-tastic, okay?" Kelly said. "Clean up the bro talk just a little so you don't alienate women."
A stunned anchor Kasie Hunt played this clip Tuesday morning just two days after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe opened for Trump by calling Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage," outraging a Latino community whose leaders threw vocal supportbehind Vice President Kamala Harris.
Hunt on Tuesday sounded genuinely surprised when she asked Trump's former communications director Mike Dubke, "Is she...right?"
"Megyn Kelly is absolutely correct," Dubke said. "Let's be smart."
The question of intelligence brought Hunt immediately to the subject of podcaster Joe Rogan, who urged Trump in August to onboard Hinchcliffe to the campaign because it would be "f---ing insane."
Again, Hunt asserted a tentative agreement.

"You know what," Hunt replied, "It turned out to be pretty effing insane."
Panelist Philippe Reines, a former senior advisor to then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, argued it was more than insane, it was potentially disastrous.
Reines contended the decision to include Hinchcliffe made it more difficult for Trump's campaign to rebut accusations that he embraced extremism at Madison Square Garden, where the American Nazi Party rallied in 1939.
"The circus is there...it doesn't inherently make the circus, you know, a Nazi gathering of elephants," Reines said. "It's how you put it together. And they, you know, they put it together this way."
Dubke agreed and added his opinion that the Trump campaign's attempt to strengthen its base support had gone too far considering how close the election is just days before Nov. 5.
Said Dubke, "You've got to run scared at this point."
