It seems a bit unfair to label a regular American this way and not explain why.

Shouldn't CNN give some reason for tagging Presler with this pejorative?

Basically, he's 'controversial' because he is helping the GOP win. Honestly, it's surprising they haven't tried to have him arrested yet.

Say it together now, 'That is (D) Different'!

CNN doesn't like that Scott is beating them at their own game.

A CNN employee tried to claim the story was neutral. Labeling someone just doing election work a 'provocateur' is hardly being neutral. Sorry, not sorry.

He helped save the country from the commies.

See how they use language to poison the well?

It's not just her opinion. It's the opinion of all of CNN.

Also, be very aware ... CNN knows Presler is often alone or with just a few people. They are intentionally trying to stir up their Leftist rage machine against him. 

They won't stop until they make him 'controversial'. It's what they do.
