GOP Strategist Reveals 8-Word Reaction To Seeing Trump's Wild Thanksgiving Night Post
HuffPost
The conservative commentator had a blunt response when asked if he could "defend" the president's lengthy holiday rant.
President Donald Trump’s turkey-day tirade left at least one GOP strategist in near disbelief.
Melik Abdul appeared on CNN’s “The Arena” on Friday, where guest host Manu Raju asked him for his take on the two-part Truth Social post Trump made just before 11:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving. In it, the president claimed he would “permanently pause” immigration from “all Third World countries,” characterized Somali immigrants as “taking over” Minnesota, accused Somalia-born Minnesota Rep. Ilhan Omar (D) of coming into the United States illegally, and called the state’s Gov. Tim Walz “seriously retarded.”
“You’re the Republican in the room,” Raju said, before asking Abdul if he could “defend” the language used by Trump in the post.
“No, and I never do,” Abdul said, adding that Trump is “known to say things” that are “a bit inappropriate.”
He then recalled his initial stunned reaction.
