CNN’s John King calls Trump’s hostile response to NBC reporter’s question a “bullsh*t attack”, but Brit Hume disagrees…

by The Right Scoop

CNN’s John King was not happy with Trump’s ‘hostile response’ to NBC reporter Peter Alexander’s question today, calling it a “bullsh*t attack”:

King claims that Peter Alexander’s question was perfectly valid question and calls Trump’s response was “reprehensible”.

David French had a similar take, saying “This was a legitimate question, the response is inexcusable…”

But Brit Hume disagrees, arguing that the question was the typical “bullsh*t gotcha” question that he says White House reporters have been asking for decades. While he suggested Trump should have answered it differently, it appears he thought Trump read the question perfectly:

When someone challenged Brit saying the question was a softball question to give Trump the opportunity to say something reassuring, Brit argued it wouldn’t have mattered what the president said, that the media would have still taken issue with his answer:

It’s obvious here that Brit is right and that Trump read the question correctly, as it was intended. If you don’t believe me, then just watch the follow-up by Alexander where he accuses Trump of giving people a false sense of hope. If he was just trying to set Trump up to say something reassuring, he never would have come back with more negativity.
