Don Lemon to Chris Cuomo: ‘Retrumplicans’ Should Be Called ‘Trumplicans’ Since They Don’t Believe in the Republic
EXCERPT:
UOMO: "Yeah, I understand. We have the same rationale, we just have a different philosophy."
LEMON: "I know, but they are Trumplicans."
CUOMO: "Why do you saying it like that makes more sense than — Republican is the word. Republican. Now they are Retrumplicans."
LEMON: "Because it's too long. They are Trumplicans. The first thing, it has nothing to do with 'Re.' The first thing they believe in is Trump. Trumplicans! That's who they are."
CUOMO: "Well, the 'Re' in Republicans doesn't signify anything they believe in either. It's Republican. You just like your own idea better, that's fine."
LEMON: "They have nothing to do with the republic. They don't want to say 'the republic.' They don’t believe in the republic. So I would not even give them that."
CUOMO: "It's just closer to the word 'Retrumplican.' Republican, Retrumplican, that's all. But we're making the same point."
LEMON: "You say Retrumplican, I say Trumplican."
