CNN Smacks Down Ted Cruz For Attacking Reporter Risking Her Life In Afghanistan

The CNN communications team noted that Clarissa Ward was bringing news to the world instead of "running off to Cancun in tough times."

CNN’s communications team put Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) through the wringer on Monday after he attacked the network’s chief international correspondent, Clarissa Ward, who is reporting from the ground about the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan. Reporting live from Kabul, Ward has provided a glimpse into the chaos and terror as Afghans flee the capital, and she spoke directly to members of the Taliban. During her report, she noted how some citizens would approach Taliban fighters for photos. “They’re just chanting ‘Death to America,’ but they seem friendly at the same time,” she commented. “It’s utterly bizarre.”
