Why are CNN interviewing this man??? Unbelievable.

[garnet]

James Brady went through hell then passed away because of this guy.

[LilyRoberts]

This is a new low for CNN. Absolutely disgusting.

[luciferthefallenangel]

CNN why are you interviewing this guy ??

[zrtmnmt]

why would anyone give this man a voice

[teatalks]

So if Thomas Crooks survived, you guys would be giving him an interview in 40 to 50 years?

“Up next, our interview with the ghost of John Wilkes Booth.”

[IceBloodKing]

If CNN existed back then, they would have invited John Wilkes Booth for an interview.

[BrigadierEO]

CNN is ridiculous. Are you kidding me?

[cwhip]

Jesus Christ dude… we’re in a South Park episode.

[a-complished]

It’s tasteless to have this man on air.

[xavierowens]

This is crazy. How does this dude get air time? What are we doing? 😳

[leofedorov]

It’s like listening to Jeffrey Dahmer giving a PSA on negatives of meat eating.

[Windsongbyrd]

CNN, what in the world are you doing? Officially a tabloid now.

[DSPILLZ]

Why is this man even alive let alone walking free?

[robertcece]

CNN is the only news org that needs to tell it's audience not to shoot presidents.

[DorettaDavis-ufcf]

CNN is nuts for interviewing this man. For this reporter to say she is fascinated? You are crazy.

[theWZZA]

Ahh, he is promoting his documentary. This is in bad taste.

[ko-ddcp]

Thanks CNN for letting him promote his tour! 🤦‍♀️ Wow, with journalism like this democracy is clearly safe. This was a low, even for you CNN!

[servercannell]

Just when you thought CNN had bottomed out...
