Right wing talk radio host Ben Ferguson tried to offer CNN's Brooke Baldwin an alternative explanation for Trump's recent remarks in which the president predicted that if the GOP loses the House, liberals would resort to "violence" to achieve their goals. But neither Angela Rye nor Baldwin could accept his narrative, and took turns smacking down his argument.
"When I originally saw that, what I thought was, there's going to be a violent takeover with legislation in Washington against the things that we fought so hard for," Ferguson said. "I don't think it is meant in a literal way of actual violence that is going to be out there."
"It is not not part of the pattern," a clearly gobsmacked Baldwin replied. "'Both sides' in the wake of Charlottesville. Spring of '16 when he wanted to become the nominee, and if he wasn't going to be the nominee, he said there would be riots in the streets. It's not just a one-off."
"He also said if he shot someone on Fifth Avenue, like he's trafficked in violence," added Rye, who also pointed out that this was simply another one of Trump's attacks on black people.
"He loves to attack black people on Twitter, especially black men. He hit Don, LeBron, and now Andrew [Gillum], who he's frightened by," said Rye laughing. "And he traffics in the crime-ridden streets of Tallahassee. What? Has he been to Tallahassee? Maybe if he left the golf course in Florida."
