CNN commentator blasts Democrats for having Bill Clinton at DNC: 'Quit' him, 'finally please!'
CNN commentator S.E. Cupp slammed Democrats for inviting former President Clinton to speak at the Democratic National Convention, calling him a “bad look” for a party emphasizing “decency.”
“I think Kate Bedingfield is totally right that [President] Joe Biden will talk about decency tonight. That‘s important. That‘s a great contrast,” Cupp said of comments from former White House communications director Kate Bedingfield on CNN on Monday. “However, this is just an aside. You can take it as you will. But I don‘t know why Bill Clinton is still at these DNCs. He is a problem. He is a bad look for Democrats. He has been at every DNC since he was elected, and there‘s no good reason for it.”
“Quit Bill Clinton, finally please!” she pleaded.
Cupp’s sharp criticism came in response to Bedingfield predicting that President Biden would contrast “the core sense of decency” of Vice President Harris’ campaign with former President Trump during his opening night speech on Monday.

Clinton is slated to speak during day three of the convention where the message is on the Democrats’ “fight for our freedoms,” according to Axios.
Cupp, one of several anti-Trump Republicans who provide analysis on CNN, has been an outspoken critic of Vice President Harris’ presidential campaign for hiding from the press.
Harris has yet to hold a formal press conference or do a sit-down interview with a news outlet since Biden backed out and backed his VP in her presidential bid at the end of July. Harris told reporters in a gaggle that she would do an interview by the end of the month.
Cupp argued that Vice President Harris needed to be transparent about her policies with voters, particularly in swing states.

“People especially in the all-important swing states — I talk to them all the time — they want to know how well this government, a Harris-Walz administration, will solve their problems. And they want specifics, not just on inflation and on the border, but on housing prices and mortgage rates,” she said.
“The cost of goods all kinds of things, abortion. What are you going to do specifically?” she continued.
“And listen, you‘re right. She‘s only been there a little while, but, ‘I‘m a prosecutor. He‘s a criminal,’ that‘s not a policy. That‘s a bumper sticker. Again, this is a week to celebrate Democrats, but it‘s also an opportunity to lay out a message for people who are still waiting to hear that.”
Clinton will join former President Obama, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and other prominent Democrats at the Democratic convention in Chicago this week, where Vice President Harris is expected to formally accept her nomination.

Arkansas got a quick reminder this week that baseball doesn’t hand out easy wins.
The Razorbacks head into the weekend after splitting a midweek set with Arkansas State, a two-game stretch that showed both the highs and lows of early season baseball.
Now, the Hogs turn the page and prepare to host UT Arlington in a three-game series at Baum-Walker Stadium.
Arkansas enters the weekend 7-2 overall. UT Arlington comes in at 2-6. First pitch Friday is set for 3 p.m., with Saturday at 2 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. Friday’s game will stream on SEC Network+.
Midweek Split Shows Two Sides of Arkansas
The midweek matchup with Arkansas State didn’t go the way the Razorbacks expected at first. In Game 1, Arkansas State won 12-4. It marked the first loss to the Red Wolves in program history.
The Hogs struggled on the mound and couldn’t keep pace as Arkansas State built separation. The result was a reminder that even in-state games can turn quickly if things slip early.
But 24 hours later, Arkansas looked like a different team.
In Game 2, the Razorbacks leaned on dominant pitching and edged Arkansas State 1-0 in a tight contest. It was the kind of bounce-back performance coaches want to see after a tough loss.
The split left Arkansas with lessons on both sides — how quickly things can unravel and how steady pitching can win a game even when runs are hard to find.
Home Comfort at Baum-Walker Stadium
Now the Razorbacks return to Baum-Walker Stadium looking to build momentum.
The Hogs have been strong at home and will try to use that setting to steady the ship after the midweek ups and downs. Playing in Fayetteville gives Arkansas a familiar environment and a chance to settle into its routine.
UT Arlington, meanwhile, is coming off a rough stretch. The Mavericks lost their midweek game to Dallas Baptist 6-1 and were swept in a weekend series against Lamar after winning the opener 10-2 before dropping the next two games.
Arkansas has the edge historically, leading the all-time series 7-1. The teams haven’t met since 2006, when the Razorbacks swept a series in Honolulu. This will be the first time UT Arlington plays in Fayetteville.
Pitching Matchups to Watch
The Hogs will roll out a strong weekend rotation.
Friday’s starter is right-hander Gabe Gaeckle (1-0, 1.93 ERA). He’ll face UT Arlington right-hander Caylon Dygert (0-0, 1.80 ERA). That matchup could set the tone for the series opener.
On Saturday, left-hander Hunter Dietz (0-1, 9.00 ERA) is scheduled to pitch for Arkansas against Dylan Skolfield (0-2, 6.48 ERA) for the Mavericks.
Sunday’s game will feature left-hander Colin Fisher (1-0, 0.00 ERA) for the Razorbacks. UT Arlington has not yet named a starter for the series finale.
After seeing how important pitching was in the 1-0 win over Arkansas State, Arkansas will look for more steady outings from its starters and bullpen.
Finding Consistency Early
Through nine games, the Hogs have shown flashes of strong offense and solid pitching. But the midweek split showed that consistency is still forming.
The loss to Arkansas State proved that mistakes can pile up fast. The narrow win that followed showed that disciplined pitching and defense can close out tight games.
This weekend gives Arkansas another chance to sharpen its approach before the schedule gets tougher later in the season.
For fans, the path to watching is simple. Friday’s game streams on SEC Network+, and radio coverage will be available in Fayetteville on 92.1 FM and AM 1590, along with other affiliates across the state.
