CNN's double standard in their treatment of Republicans versus Democrats is on continuous display. On Wednesday's New Day, conservative Rep. Steve King (R-IA) was grilled by co-host Chris Cuomo. Yet, when fellow co-host Alisyn Camerota interviewed liberal Senator Sherrod Brown immediately following the King interview, the Senator was given non-challenging softball questions. Take a look at the comparison of questions:

Chris Cuomo's questions to Rep. Steve King:

What do you make of the President going after fellow party members?

Do you think it's just about politics, Congressman? You and I've known each other for a while, aren't some of these tactics really just about character, just about personality, not about knowing the way to do things. This is about dealing with people. That doesn't change when you're in politics?

...

Would it also help if the President had been more clear about what he thinks the plans should be, what the policy should be, all he's said so far is inaction is not an option. He called the repeal replace plans that was in the offing coming out of the House mean, as you'll remember. But he hasn't said what he doesn't think would be mean.

...

But why--how can the people get behind something that they don't know about? If all you're going to present them with is what you have now is gone, we're phasing it out and we don't know what we're going to replace it with, why would you expect support?

...

It's fundamental to how to keep costs down. I mean that's going to be the concern. If you repeal, if you take away all these things and say we'll figure it out later, how do I know that I'm going to be able to get health care, how do I know that what I'm depending on, whether it's pre-existing conditions or lifetime caps which almost all these suggestions want to get rid of or that I need the supplemental help in the form of subsidies or Medicaid, which is tens of millions of people, if you're just taking it away and not saying how you'll replace it, why would I support that?

...

No, I'm saying if I am in that situation. You don't have to worry about me -- thank God Turner is giving us good insurance so I'm not at the mercy of the lawmakers. But, you know, although there could be cost increases even to us as a result of what you guys do.

...

Before the ACA by almost any metric, things were worse. So you may have a small sample that says that. But when you talk to the experts and the different groups involved, you're not going to get a lot of support for that kind of proposition. But let's see what they come up with in the Senate and they decide to move forward on and I'll come back to you and we'll test it.
