A man introduced as an undecided voter during a CNN segment following Kamala Harris’ speech on Day 4 of the Democratic National Convention has a history of supporting MAGA online. CNN host Gary Tuchman said all panelists claimed to be undecided voters at that time.
MeidasTouch has uncovered that, despite telling CNN that he was an undecided voter who just decided to vote for Trump, Rosado has a substantial MAGA social media history, including a video of himself shooting an AK-47, which he purchased.

So, CNN didn’t actually do any background checking to make sure they were talking to actual undecided group members.
It’s run by a republican. It’s right on brand for them.
I hate that “he owns a big rifle” is basically a dog whistle only associated with these troglodytes now. I like firearms myself, but I like human rights too. :(
the dumb thing is they didn’t even need to bring up the gun photo. he posted plenty of pro trump shit that is convincing enough.
Right?! That was completely irrelevant.
It wasn’t even a “big rifle”, it was an AK and this was their reasoning:
An owner of such a weapon is unlikely to be undecided, as Kamala Harris has expressed support for banning assault weapons. Rosado’s social media history, reviewed by MeidasTouch, reveals that he has been posting pro-Trump content for years.
She ain’t banning shit, Trump’s the one that was just banning shit on his own by executive order.
Like, not even talking about if she should or not, or if she says she will. It’s just realistically not going to happen.
Also, “undecideds” are usually either people who don’t know anything about the political landscape and blow with the wind or people who do that have issues they favor that don’t neatly fall into the traditional alignments of the parties and haven’t decided which issue is more salient in this election. It turns out this guy was a partisan, but someone that really likes guns and really likes reproductive choice would be a pretty mundane reason for someone to be “undecided”.
The real world is a lot more nuanced - VT is a liberal stronghold but it’s extremely pro (sensible) gun access and most of our politicians (including ye olde Bernie Sanders) have a much more moderate and nuanced view on gun ownership.
I hate this framing of “extreme” and “moderate”.
Vermont is honestly on my short(er) list of places I’d prefer to move to if I needed to for exactly that reason.
Unfortunately they also salt their winter roads, which means it would destroy my classic cars no matter how hard I try to wash and undercoat them. So while it’s “in the list”, it’s only a backup option.
CNN? You mean Faux Lite?
No shit.
A liar telling lies for his favorite liar, who would have though dishonest people would pull this kind of dishonest stunt for Trump.
Well damage done, just like they wanted.
Welp, some random guy on CNN just said he’s voting Trump so I guess he’s convinced me. Trump it is!
/s
The sad thing is that this is likely how some people’s thought process actually works 😬
Things are so bad for Trump that the diehard MAGA people are describing themselves as undecided?
