WATCH: CNN Host Scoffs and Chuckles at Angel Mom Patty Morin
The White House press room was left speechless on Thursday after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt invited Maryland angel mom Patty Morin to speak about her daughter Rachel, who was raped and murdered by an illegal immigrant (a story largely ignored by the liberal media until the briefing).

Anderson suggests there's…
