CNN Promotes Debunked Story that Trump Hired Obama Impersonator to Imagine Firing Him

EXCERPT:

HILL: "One of the things that we're learning from Michael Cohen, we have this picture of this person who was hired to play the role of former President Barack Obama, opposite Donald Trump, who apparently, in this recorded video, spent time berating the Faux-Bama, and then finishing off by firing him. It's -- it's -- it's fascinating, Margaret, and it's so sad at the same time that this would be a focus, that a grown man would hire an actor so they could -- I don't know, fulfill a fantasy of firing them. I mean, I wonder, Margaret, if this will still have an impact, though, sadly, given where we are at this point."
TALEV: "I -- I do think that, as -- as Joe mentioned, a big part of President Trump's political strategy when it comes to the African-American vote is about telling white voters in the suburbs that it's OK to stick with him if they voted for him in 2016.” 
 

Editor’s Note: The Obama impersonator was hired as part of an un-aired spoof for the 2012 RNC convention
