A number of conservative commentators who were formerly CNN contributors have come out to say the network has become a hate-fueled platform against President Donald Trump, with one stating that it “openly despises conservatives” who support the president.

CNN has struggled to keep pro-Trump contributors over the past years, according to a report from Mediaite. The most recent example occurred on May 21 when the network said former contributor Ken Cuccinelli was “no longer” with them after reports emerged that the president was considering him to fill a top Homeland Security position. Cuccinell’s departure further culled the already endangered intellectual diversity at CNN.
