Whitney Cummings roasts CNN live on air – and burns Dems

Whitney Cummings goes viral for brutally roasting CNN during their New Year’s Eve special — as she rips Democrats for failing to offer a capable presidential candidate because “they were too busy holding up a corpse.”

“I’m playing now, you know, like 3,000-seat theaters, which is about the ratings on CNN these days,” the comedian told the network’s star host Anderson Cooper in his annual live broadcast with Bravo’s Andy Cohen.

Cummings became even more annoying when he denounced them.

“The Democrats couldn’t hold a primary this year. They were too busy holding up a corpse,” she said of the long support given to President Biden’s re-election despite his age getting the better of him.

“The pro-choice party didn’t give their voters one when it came to their candidate,” the comedian and actress continued, moving on to Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Kamala was forced on us so hard you’d think she was patented by Pfizer,” she joked, referring to the COVID-19 jabs mandated for many people during the pandemic.

Cummings, famous for his roasts, doubled down on his comments in response to a clip that had been viewed nearly 9 million times by early Wednesday afternoon.

“I mean please write the lies I told?” she wrote.

She later added, “I had a super long list of ‘things the mainstream media won’t cover’ but only included the ones I was super duper able to fact check!”

Anderson and Cohen didn’t try to stop her tirade, even when directed at CNN — with Cohen instead replying at one point, “Wow, you’re all on fire today.”
