Former CNN Host Changes Tune, Scorches Democrats’ Trump Narrative: ‘Broad Mandate’
Former CNN International anchor Robyn Curnow rebuked both her former network and the Democratic Party as a whole over their dismissive coverage and narratives surrounding the administration and Trump’s popular support.
“Trump was an elected leader and has the broad mandate and support of much of America,” Curnow said during a recent podcast appearance. She then recalled some bizarre pushback she received to stating the basic fact that Trump was democratically elected.
“When I pointed that out to somebody the other day who was complaining that America is in dangerous times, they said to me, ‘well, you know, the Germans supported Hitler and the Russians support Putin,’ as if this is suddenly just an excuse to decimate an entire democratic election in a democratic nation,” the former CNN host continued.
“Every single vote was counted and every poll since then, even if you didn’t vote for Donald Trump, is pointing to the fact that he has a broad mandate from the American people. That does not make them a bunch of Nazis in Germany supporting Hitler. It’s a weak goddamn argument.”
Democrats have increasingly deployed what can only be described as wartime rhetoric to describe their political opponents, something that was evident during last week’s “No Kings” protests. “Donald Trump is America’s Hitler,” U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) said at one of last week’s demonstrations.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) seemingly suggested that Americans should use all methods at their disposal, including unrest and rebellion, to unseat the Democratically elected president. “Those of us who aspire and attain public office are nothing but servants of the people. And the moment that somebody in public office begins to act like the master of the people, that is the moment to evict, eject, reject, impeach, try, convict, and start all over again,” the far-left lawmaker ranted, failing to provide any examples of Trump’s supposedly tyrannical conduct.
