CNN rips Trump demand to retract poll as like threats that 'typically come from countries like Venezuela'

'Trump and his campaign sent CNN a cease-and-desist letter earlier Wednesday, demanding the network retract a poll that showed former Vice President Joe Biden leading Trump by 14 points.

"It's a stunt and a phony poll to cause voter suppression, stifle momentum and enthusiasm for the President, and present a false view generally of the actual support across America for the President," reads the letter signed by Trump 2020 senior legal adviser Jenna Ellis and the campaign's chief operating officer, Michael Glassner.

The letter, which cites Trump pollster John McLaughlin, also demands a "full, fair, and conspicuous retraction, apology, and clarification to correct its misleading conclusions" and claims that the poll is "designed to mislead American voters through a biased questionnaire and skewed sampling."

CNN writer Henry Enten and CNN Politics reporter Veronica Stracqualursi also pushed back on McLaughlin in a story reporting on the letter.

"McLaughlin says CNN's survey is a 'skewed anti-Trump poll of only 25% Republican.' That percentage of respondents, however, is consistent with several other major polls that use live telephone interviews, which provide the most reliable snapshot of the race," Enten and Stracqualursi explained.''

Personally I don't see why the campaign bothers. The same shenanigans were going on in favor of Hillary and look how that went, kek.

It could be argued that the results with POTUS trailing will rally his supporters to polling booths. Also consider that if they fail in their mail in vote bid, they will have scared their own voters away from the polling booths.

Still, its good for a kek to see CNN being called out.
