Trump Defender Says He Was Ousted by CNN for Condemning ‘the Charlottesville Lie’

EXCERPT:

CORTES: "No, it really doesn't. Because unfortunately, Laura, when you look at corporate media in this country, they have overwhelmingly forsaken journalism in favor of narrative promotion. And the foremost narrative they want to promote about the President is that he's a racist and that those of us who support him are racists as well. Charlottesville was really, unfortunately the linchpin of that argument. I really detailed why that is a lie, the Charlottesville lie, the fine people hoax. The President never called neo-Nazis fine people. And for committing what was, I guess, the unpardonable sin, at least in the eyes of CNN, for declawing that deception that they continued to push. They put me on the bench. They took me off the air after I did a PragerU video that got 6 million hits detailing exactly why the Charlottesville myth was a deception."
