CNN Commentator Insults Melania Trump After Speaking On Assassination Attempt
The claws came out at CNN…
CNN commentator Maria Cardona called former first lady Melania Trump “irrelevant” on Tuesday after she released a video discussing the recent attempt on her husband’s life.
The former first lady released a 34-second clip on Tuesday calling on the “truth” about the assassination attempt on her husband, Republican nominee Donald Trump, to be uncovered.
“Obviously as a wife of somebody who did go through an attempted assassination, she’s absolutely entitled to say whatever she wants about that. I think she’s irrelevant, frankly, and I don’t think this will matter,” Cardona said. “I do think that it does kinda feed into conspiracy theories that we’ve heard out there, but at the end of the day, what people are going to pay attention on tonight is what Kamala Harris says about what she wants to do with another four years, and if she does her job right, and I believe she will.”
CNN political commentator David Urban pushed back earlier in the segment against accusations that Melania’s claims are a conspiracy
“I think she’s asking ‘how the hell could this have happened?’ There were local law enforcement who did their job,” Urban said. “There are failures up and down the chain of command and the Secret Service, there are a lot of answers that people want.”
“I think it’s reminding the American people that Donald Trump almost gave his life to be President of the United States, and somebody wanted to kill him because of what he believed in and what he stood for,” he continued. “I think it’s worth noting that the guy puts his life on the line everyday in doing this and I think that’s what she was reminding. She obviously loves her husband, Barron loves his father, and I think that she’s trying to humanize him.”
The would-be assassin, 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, shot and killed an attendee, injured multiple others and also injured the upper portion of Trump’s right ear.
