On CNN's Reliable Sources, host Brian Stelter got an unwelcome surprise when his guest CNN commentator and host S.E. Cupp brought up Hunter Biden's laptop when replying to Stelter complaining that Ginni Thomas's text messages didn't get enough news coverage. Stelter was clearly thrown off guard by Cupp's mention of the laptop controversy.
After debating the controversy surrounding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's wife, Ginni Thomas' text messages about the 2020 presidential election, Stelter turned to Cupp: "do you see an imbalance of outrage this week on the story?" Cup argued that the outrage surrounding the text messages is warranted, but noted that people "in conservative circles have known about Virginia Lamp Thomas' political leanings for decades."
Cupp then dropped this rhetorical bomb on Stelter:
You don't have to look far to find a very similar story that was really ignored by the media and, in fact, called false over and over and over again and that's the Hunter Biden laptop story. Hunter Biden is a relative of a very famous person the way Ginni Thomas is a relative of a very powerful famous person and, you know, my Twitter feed is clogged with blue check reporters who are instantly believing that there is some tie between Ginni and Clarence. You know, the rush to dismiss Hunter as not a relevant story by lots of reporters I think is hard to ignore.
Clearly shocked that the topic he and the rest of his friends in the leftist media have been trying so hard to ignore was mentioned on his show, Stelter quickly turned to his other guest and New Yorker staff writer Jane Mayer to address the elephant in the room.
