Alisyn Camerota was really in over her head with this group of Trump voters.

And trying to discredit the Fox Business channel made her look even more foolish.

Via BizPac Review.

A CNN host found it hard to conceal her contempt when dealing with Trump supporters who believe illegal immigrants were allowed to vote in the presidential election.

A guest who was part of a focus group told CNN host Alisyn Camerota that millions of illegal votes were cast, which skewed the popular vote in favor of former secretary of state Hillary Clinton….

“So where are you getting your information,” Camerota asked condescendingly….

The guest was making reference to a November 4 exchange between the president and Hispanic interviewer Gina Rodriguez, during which Obama appeared to tell illegal aliens they can vote, citing the “sanctity of the vote.”

“Did you hear President Obama say that illegal people could vote?” the CNN host asked in disbelief….

“I don’t want to waste anymore time, but whatever.” Camerota shot back.

She paused the interview long enough to make a quick internet search on her smart phone.

“I see where it came from,” she told the group. “Fox Business Network deceptively edited a clip of Barack Obama to argue that the president encouraged illegal immigrants to vote when he did nothing of the sort when you go back to the transcript.”….

And, just for the record, here is Obama with his outrageous statement:

    More, Literally vs Seriously.
    Where’s Donna Brazile to back up Alisyn?

    Hot Air delved into this. Prez answer was clumsy. Looks like Cavuto edited out a portion that would shed light on what Obama might have been trying to say.

    I agree with what Pat said. Here’s a Mediaite story that shows the unedited section of the interview. I’m not saying Cavuto or Varney did this on purpose but Obama did emphasize that only citizens can vote but that those citizens should not fear voting if they have illegal alien relatives living with them or nearby, i.e., no one will come and deport your illegal relatives as a result of you, as a citizen, voting. It was a clumsy response and I don’t think that was the meaning of the interviewer’s question – she was clearly talking about illegals – but he did not say illegals could or should vote.

    Having said that, Camerota was extremely and ridiculously contemptuous of these Trump supporters. I used to really like her on Fox. What happened? She said she went to CNN for more opportunity. I get that but does that require a Jekyl to Hyde transformation or was she hiding her liberalism on Fox all those years?
