A quick Google fact-check would have saved CNN from wearing egg on its proverbial face. But that would require – *cough* – real journalistic research. And this is CNN.
That hand-lock between Trump and McConnell, though. https://t.co/xFClDYCmdQ

Har har har. The reason McConnell has a problem with stairs sometimes? He had polio as a child. You know who reminded Diaz of that? Her own colleague at CNN, Manu Raju.
McConnell often goes up a step at a time, sometimes needs railing for assistance. This time, used Trump for balance https://t.co/f4RVd9sBDM

McConnell is a polio survivor, a reason why stairs can be tricky at times

Oh, and GOP, so McConnell gets no sympathy.

For the left who thought this was the second coming of a Gerald Ford parody on Saturday Night Live, think again.
McConnell is a polio survivor, you misinformed, arrogant, obnoxious, vile, biased asshole. @CNNFakeNews https://t.co/TGvhr9rfDF

My mother has polio. I've done the same thing for her most of my life. It's called compassion. Perhaps do some research before tweeting.

Because last I checked, CNN wasn’t in giggles over this “assistance.”
Or this one.
I mean, Hillary Clinton says she just broke her toe tripping down a flight of stairs in London on her book tour, and I don’t think Daniella Diaz was busting a gut over that one. *checks her Twitter feed* Nope!
Also, for someone who may have a rocky political relationship with McConnell, Trump was right there to help him steady himself, and not make a big deal about it. That actually was a nice moment, and Daniella Diaz apparently can only see the slapstick comedy.
Making fun of the President for helping a polio survivor that stumbled. Stay classy CNN, stay classy

“Stay classy” implies they had some class to begin with. This is CNN.
CNN – their fail continues unabated!!
And yet he wants to take away healthcare to the most vulnerable
No. No, he doesn’t. I don’t even want to, and I want 0bamaCare gutted with prejudice. I can’t take away your healthcare in a free country. I can, however, insist that I won’t be paying for it.
And the comparison with HRC is appropriate. Because Hillary just denied that she had any problem whatsoever! Even when she DID say “Oh, I haven’t been taking care of myself, got dehydrated, passed out stumbled”, she couldn’t just admit weakness/illness, but tried to downplay it and make it not-a-factor-in-the-campaign. And she didn’t downplay it like a guy shaking off his injury on the athletic field, she tried to deny anything whatsoever could be wrong.
Big difference between HRC and McConnell (on the physical front – not so much politically) is her natural resort to lying about it.
