CNN Trump Supporter Redefines Waterboarding As A 'Bit Of Discomfort'

CNN political analyst -- and Trump supporter -- why, CNN, why? -- Kayleigh McEnany decided to redefine what torture is and its effectiveness on CNN's New Day this morning.

This after Trump said he wants to "fight fire with fire" against terrorists.

After playing several clips of Trump begging to use torture on terrorists again, co-host Camerota brought up Trump's ever-changing position on the torture and explained that waterboarding is NOT an effective form of interrogation.

Kayleigh (her real name) immediately tried to undermine what is those facts using the old "some people say" defense. "A lot of people would dispute that take on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, because here's the thing. He only started speaking at all after he was waterboarded that many times. And many people would say that he pointed to the importance of the courier that led us to Osama bin Laden. He didn't give the name, no, but he did highlight the importance of this man."

Actually Kayleigh, the opposite is true. The Senate Report detailed that torture played no part in the capture of Osama Bin laden.

Harsh CIA tactics — including waterboarding, sleep deprivation — didn’t work

Then Kayleigh went off the deep end and used the Dick Cheney argument about torture in general.
