CNN Panelists Brutally Roast Donald Trump For Representing the ‘Criminal American Community’: ‘Great Day For Diversity!’

 

CNN panelists David Frum and legal analyst Elliot Williams brutally roasted Donald Trump on Tuesday morning ahead of closing arguments being made in his porn star hush money case.

Anchor Kasie Hunt kicked off the conversation, asking, “Elliot, can we just start with the technical thing because it’s what he’s complaining about, which is that the defense gets to go first or has to go first here. What’s up with that?”

After some back and forth Williams noted, “So that in New York cases, that’s often how they do it. Either way, the prosecution would typically get the last word, whether in the form of a rebuttal or simply going after the defense, because it’s their burden and they are ultimately responding to the arguments that the defense brings.”

“Typically the prosecution will go, we’ll go. Let’s. But it’s another half-truth by the former president about the legal system. That plants chum in the water for his supporters. And people get whipped up believing that the system is stacked against him,” concluded Williams.

“Yeah. I mean, and David Frum, isn’t that really what we’re talking about? Big picture here. We’re going to probably this week find out, if there’s going to be a conviction, in this case, and the question we’ve been asking the entire time is will it matter? And if he’s acquitted or if there’s a hung jury, does that potentially matter even more because of the lack of faith that he is trying to engender in the system?” Hunt then asked the former George W. Bush speech writer.

“Well, his lawyers look like they’re doing a normal kind of defense, trying to cast doubt on a key witness. You can’t trust this person who worked for Donald Trump. Would you trust somebody? Work for Donald Trump? Yeah, obviously, if you work for Donald Trump, you’re a liar and a crook. Why would anyone trust someone who worked for Donald Trump? That’s going to be the defense. But Donald Trump himself is on the next move, which is getting ready to be convicted, getting ready to be… It’s a first, we’ve had the first African-American president. We have a first, I think we’ve had we have the first female vice president to be at last, the criminal American community will last have a representative in high office,” jested Frum.

“It’s a great day for diversity,” joked Williams in reply as Hunt laughed.

“It’s a great day for the criminal American community. You know? And so he’s getting ready to teach his supporters that being a criminal should not bar him from being president,” Frum concluded.
