CNN’s ratings have been plummeting and it seems like they are panicking. In the panic, they decided to make an incredibly outrageous comparison between the Trump Campaign and a violent gang.

According to Fox News:
CNN anchor Alisyn Camerota was slammed by conservative Twitter users Saturday when she tried to draw parallels between the idea of FBI informants in the brutal gang MS-13 and President Donald Trump’s claim that his campaign was spied on.
“You believe that the FBI planted a spy in the Trump campaign. Are you using the term informant and spy interchangeably?” Camerota, a former Fox News co-host, asked Matt Schlapp, formerly President George W. Bush’s political director.
“When the FBI uses a source in MS-13 to find out what they’re doing is that a spy or a source, an informant to figure out what MS-13 is doing?” she continued.
“Look if you’re going to equate, I would call it spying,” Shlapp fired back. “And here’s the big difference, Donald Trump is not MS-13, Alisyn.”
OMG this is an incredible unforced error. If @GOP were any good, this would be spliced with CNN defending MS-13 in other clips. Dear Lordy this is a bad bad bad look for CNN. https://t.co/ijQXOHlng7

Twitter users were quick to point it out and conservative commentator Matt Schlapp called her out for it. This is just more evidence that CNN is gasping for air.
