Veteran CNN White House Correspondent John Harwood abruptly resigned from the network on Friday shortly after he unloaded on critics of President Joe Biden's primetime Thursday night speech in which Biden warned the American people of the existential and imminent dangers that former President Donald Trump and his Make America Great Again movement pose to the United States.
Democrats "are standing by the message that President Biden offered. Of course it was a political speech. We're in a midterm reelection year. The issues that he's talking about are inherently political," Harwood said on the air while standing outside of the White House.
"But I think it's also important to say that the core point he made in that political speech about a threat to democracy is true," he continued. "Now that is something that is not easy for us as journalists to say. We’re brought up to believe there’s two different political parties with different points of view and we don’t take sides in honest disagreements between them. But that’s not what we are talking about. These are honest disagreements."
