CNN panel spirals into pandemonium as conservative rants in defense of Trump mass arrests
CNN conservative S.E. Cupp covered her ears and "Table for Five" Sara Sidner had to yell at her guests on Saturday morning as conservative attorney Arthur Aidala forcefully, and loudly, attempted to make the case that it is perfectly fine for the Donald Trump administration to round up suspected gang members based upon their tattoos.
What started out as a discussion on Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem deciding to do yet another photo-op, this time in front of caged and posed prisoners in a prison in El Salvador, which led Aidala to defend the Trump administration's PR campaign while ignoring the rights of immigrants who have been snatched up by ICE.
The attorney seemed particularly obsessed with what he called gang tattoos and held court at length describing them while his co-panelists futilely tried to get him to answer questions about due process owed to those being arrested and shipped out of the country despite court warnings.

With Cupp covering her ears and then picking up her phone and jokingly saying into it, "Mom, can you pick me up?" as Aidala shouted next to her, host Sidner lost her patience, pounded on the table, and shouted everyone down with, "Alright, hold on. Hold on. Order in the court. Alright talking over each over each other doesn't work. No one can hear what you're saying."
"You are making the argument that having a tattoo can make someone look like a criminal," she said to the attorney. "Okay, that's the argument you are having. It sometimes is admissible, but you're also making the argument that because they have tattoos, they must be criminal –– is that what you're arguing?"
"No," the attorney protested.
"It sounded like that's what you were arguing," the host shot back.
He then claimed he was talking about the "imaging" the Trump administration is attempting to sell the public on its immigration policies.
