CNN has always had a little bit of a problem with guests. They make an effort to represent differing sides of an issue, but that means they need to find people willing to come on TV and defend terrible things. That means they can sometimes be terrible people.
Enter this guy.
His name is Clive or something. (Who cares?) He has a show no one watches.
He went on CNN to talk about the controversy surrounding ESPN anchor Jemele Hill but instead decided to talk about his two favorite things in America: the first amendment and boobs.
Watch the interaction below, if you can get through it:

Brooke Baldwin (the anchor in the middle) is noticeably stunned. She later addressed the whole incident in a written article on CNN.com. Her take: this is no way for a man to speak to a professional woman, or any woman, or to anyone, really, on national TV in 2017.
Hard to disagree with that.
Most of all though, it makes this Cole Tarville (whatever) guy look like a total dumbass who has no idea how to express himself outside of acting like he’s six years old.
Seriously, man. Grow up.
Wow. So so inappropriate. Props to @BrookeBCNN for how she handled it, https://t.co/XjcrMQSuC7
