'You don't mind him being addled': Trump defender called out during CNN clash
Podcaster and tech journalist Kara Swisher lost patience with a conservative Reihan Salam on CNN on Saturday morning and accused him of not caring that Donald Trump is obviously "addled."
During their weekly face-off on "The Chris Wallace Show," Salam tried to dismiss the firestorm created by a conservative speaker at a Trump rally, calling Puerto Rico "garbage," and tried to make the case that President Joe Biden's response to it was worse.
According to Salam, too much is being made about the Madison Square Garden "joke" and it should not reflect on Trump's re-election campaign as well as comments the ex-president has made recently.

That drew a swift rebuke and accusation from Swisher who repeatedly said "Stop it" as Salam spoke.
Making his case he told the panel, "I think basically you have a lot of voters who believe that there is a certain censoriousness coming from the left and the idea that we are elevating a warm-up act who tells rancid jokes and have been doing it for years."
"I think that might have been a bad call," he continued as Swisher protested. "The president of the United States [Biden] was actually, for four years, been denouncing his political opponents and talking about ultra MAGA and fascism when referring to people who oppose his agenda. This is absolutely routine background noise and this garbage remark is something that actually does remind people of it."
"Trump makes, literally, every hour Trump makes an offensive remark," Swisher pushed back. "Every hour Trump makes another offensive remark, one more offensive than the other."
"Because, one, he's addled. You don't mind him being addled," she accused.
