CNN Political Commentator Stuns Trump Spox by Blasting ‘Sick and Vile’ Wounded Warriors Stunt (Mediaite)

The fireworks were exploding early on Thursday morning ahead of the Fox News Republican debate, which frontrunner Donald Trump has repeatedly said he will not attend. On New Day, CNN Political Commentator Ben Ferguson duked it out with Trump spokesperson Katrina Pierson, eviscerating the spox in the process on the perceived hypocrisy of suddenly doing an event for the veterans when it’s politically advantageous.

The controversy in question stemmed from Trump’s announcement that in place of the Fox News debate, he will instead be holding an event at Drake University in Iowa and give “100% of the proceeds” to veterans and the Wounded Warriors. Ferguson saw right through that schtick, and blasted Trump, Pierson, and the campaign because of it.
