Comments by CNN's newest pro-Trump commentator, Sean Duffy, are being widely criticized, including by some anchors at the network. Colby Hall defends the hiring of Duffy, saying "what we need now is a dialogue between the two sides." Irin Carmon says "I'm really happy there is a dialogue, I'm really happy that there's real time fact checking, but if you talk to people who study conspiracy theories, they actually say that when you repeat them on the air it helps legitimize them."
