Dem CNN Contributor Humiliates Self After Wrongly Accusing a Sports Fan

Dem CNN Contributor Humiliates Self After Wrongly Accusing a Sports Fan

The intolerance of Democrats and liberals came into full display again when one CNN contributor harshly, recklessly and wrongfully accused a university sports fan as “anti-Semitic” simply for wearing an innocent costume bearing the image of bacon. Now, the accuser has to deal with a strong backlash from the public, and a humiliated face when her erroneous judgment has been exposed.

CNN political commentator Hillary Rosen called a Georgetown University sports fan anti-Semitic just for wearing a bacon suit in a rivalry game against Syracuse University on Saturday.

The Democratic strategist took to social media Twitter to hurl accusations against an innocent student and sports fan, hating on his bacon suit and what she easily assumed as him being anti-Semitic based on what he and his costume stood for. Rosen wrote on Twitter: “ Look at the guy in the ‘bacon suit.’ This is a Georgetown #Hoyas fans anti-Semitic smear to the Syracuse team.”

The Dem CNN contributor didn’t stop there. She also found the time and energy to gloat about her favored team’s win and throw shade at the “bacon man.” Rosen sent out a second tweet after Syracuse victory, 86-79, in overtime, this time even angrier in spite of their win, and calling the unsuspecting young man names. Rosen posted: “Hey bacon-man. #Syracuse for the win. Bigots lose. Bye #Hoyas #Cuse.”

So quick was Rosen in jumping to hasty conclusions, passing judgments and furiously hitting on someone so much younger than her who did not knowingly do anything to offend her that she failed to first establish her facts and information. Her recklessness is ironic especially since she is in the field of “media” as a contributor to mainstream liberal outfit, CNN.

The truth quickly exploded on Rosen’s face. Turns out, the Georgetown fan named Michael Bakan regularly wears the bacon suit because of the simple, no hatred, no-racist reason that his last name happens to be pronounced like “bacon”, yes, the meat. As straight and objective as that.

After the game, the young guy and his friends naturally learned of Rosen’s online abuse and quickly set things in their proper perspectives. They pointed to Rosen that the bacon suit was simply a “fun costume.”

Bakan tweeted to Rosen: “Hey, it’s ‘bacon man.’ It’s actually Mr. Bakan- pronounced ‘bacon.’ Just a fun costume.”

Rosen had to eat humble pie and painfully swallow her arrogance as she deleted her earlier posts and apologized to Bakan, hiding behind the pathetic excuse that she “got some bad info.”

Bakan also wrote after all the undeserved fuzz: “Not the best feeling when a @CNN reporter attacks you on twitter, but, hey- thanks, mom & dad for a great last name, thanks Hoyas fans for showing love in the student section, and thanks @amber _athey & @TheDailyCaller for clarifying the misunderstanding.”

Some of Bakan’s friends even advised him to take legal actions against the erring and irresponsible CNN contributor. Some expressed their disgust for what Rosen did to Bakan.

One wrote: “Imagine being some random college kid, throwing on your bacon suit to attend a basketball game with your buddies, and ending up being accused of anti-Semitism by a CNN contributor with 300k twitter followers!”

In the end, Bakan was all cool about the whole controversy, thanking his friends for the love and support and hinting that his focus is on studying for the finals already. He also said ‘bacon man’ preaches love.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">&quot;Bacon Man&quot; would like to thank my friends <a href="https://twitter.com/OrozcoNicolo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@OrozcoNicolo</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/realHunterEstes?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@realHunterEstes</a> &amp; <a href="https://twitter.com/_harrisonnugent?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@_harrisonnugent</a> for their gracious support.

Rosen, however, did not elaborate what “bad info” she got and how she exactly received it. Hopefully, the little incident has taught her some big lessons, especially in their much-vaunted value of supposed political correctness, and fostering tolerance, acceptance, and diversity especially in non-political exercises as a basketball match. Maybe it’s time Dems like her learn to truly walk their talk.
