Reed says he has ‘prettiest face’ after CNN appearance

An appearance on CNN has Rep. Tom Reed boasting that apparently he’s the best looking Republican politician around.

On Wednesday, CNN was alone among the three major cable news networks in deciding not to televise Senate Judiciary Chairman Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., delivering his opening statement prior to Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz’s hotly-anticipated testimony.

As Graham began his remarks, CNN was busy airing what Reed called “a highly anticipated interview” between anchor Poppy Harlow and himself. According to Reed’s office, CNN displayed a small box with footage of Horowitz.

This elicited a reaction from RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel in a tweet where she said “CNN aired everything Schiff & Nadler had to say. Why aren’t they showing @LindseyGrahamSC? Is it because the facts of how the FBI mistreated @realDonaldTrump contradict their coverage over the last 3 years?”

“The facts here are clear — CNN wisely chose the prettiest face to put on air,” Rep. Tom Reed said in a statement Wednesday afternoon. “Plus, as one of the first five members of Congress to endorse President Trump, I see no bias in CNN putting me on TV rather than Graham. Other networks need to get on board and recognize that If you want HUGE ratings book me. If not, Lindsey Graham is always available.”
