A MAGA pundit baffled the rest of her CNN panel by suggesting that a Trump foe "should be in a mental institution."

During an appearance on a CNN roundtable, former Trump White House press staffer Caroline Sunshine went after Anthony Fauci, who has been the target of GOP ire after the party hauled him into a hearing and reportedly contemplated pursuing contempt of Congress charges.

Fauci's diary from when he was the country's top health advisor amid the COVID-19 pandemic has been made public, and Sunshine said on Thursday night that the diary entries prove that he has mental disorders, a statement that shocked the rest of the panel....

A CNN panel erupted in laughter after they were shocked by what a MAGA pundit considered "cringe."

On Wednesday night, a panel hosted by CNN anchor Abby Phillip discussed how denying that President Joe Biden won the 2020 election seems to be a litmus test for winning a role in the Trump administration. Phillip started the segment by showing a clip of three Trump judicial nominees skirting around the question when asked who won the 2020 election.

The clip included Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) yelling "Be your own man!" as Adam Candeub, a nominee to be assistant antitrust attorney general, refused to answer yes or no to the question. It then showed John Cronan, nominee for the U.S. Sentencing Commission, and Gregory Cook, a nominee for U.S. judge for the Northern District of Alabama, doing the same....

Conservative CNN pundit Scott Jennings laughed in the face of a fellow MAGA commentator and hurled insults at her during a debate.

Former Trump White House aide Caroline Sunshine interrupted a debate hosted by CNN anchor Abby Phillip on Thursday by admitting that she didn't know that conflicts between Iran and the U.S. have been going on for nearly five decades, as Jennings asserted.

The debate started over whether Congress should put more guardrails in place to check Trump's war powers in Iran. Jennings mocked the idea that guardrails should be in place so the U.S. can be "all rainbows and unicorns with the Iranians," considering that "they've been at war with us for 47 years."...

Several members of a CNN panel tried to get a MAGA pundit to stop her "embarrassing" rant.

Former Trump White House staffer Caroline Sunshine took part in the panel, hosted by CNN anchor Abby Phillip. Most of the panel turned on Sunshine, however, when she started to defend the Trump administration from accusations of racism because it started accepting South African refugees while turning down refugees from other African nations.

"The United States has had an extremely generous refugee policy in regards to several African nations," Sunshine argued. "Now that South Africa is one of them, there's a problem. When was the problem when we were taking in millions from every other destabilized country?"...

A CNN pundit snapped at a right-wing panelist during a debate on immigration that turned into a shouting match.

During an appearance on CNN on Thursday night, Keith Boykin, a former Clinton White House aide, lost his cool while poking holes in an argument by Caroline Sunshine, a former Trump White House staffer.

Sunshine argued in favor of a Supreme Court decision that threatens temporary protected status for Haitians, and asked the panel around her, "Does anybody at this table, have you heard the name Aiden Clark?" referring to an 11-year-old boy who died in an Ohio bus crash in 2023. Clark's death has become a right-wing talking point because a Haitian immigrant collided with the bus....

CNN pundits clashed and yelled over each other when talking about a scandal-plagued candidate's primary victory.

Political journalist LZ Granderson explained on CNN why he believes Maine Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner still has support despite allegations about infidelity and aggression against women. Platner had just won the Democratic primary, setting him up to square off against Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME).

"He looks like a dude," Granderson said. "Let's just say what it is. He's got the scruff. He's got the edge."...
