Former Trump official slapped down on CNN after retribution 'joke' falls flat

An attempt at what he called a joke on CNN didn't earn a former Donald Trump communications official any laughs on Sunday morning but it did get him a lecture.

During the panel segment on "State of the Union" with host Dana Bash, the topic turned to Donald Trump going after his perceived enemies as he promised before the 2024 election when said he would seek "retribution."

That prompted Mike Dubka to smirk and chime in with, "I will just say one thing. The ultimate retribution that we saw in the last year was Joe Biden on the Democratic Party by deciding that he was going to run for reelection. That was ultimate retribution."

"How is that retribution?" panelist Adrienne Elrod asked.

Pointing to fellow Republican Lance Trover, Dubka offered, "There's one panel member that gets that joke."

Former National Coalitions Director for Biden-Harris 2020 Ashley Allison wasn't having it.

'It's actually changing the definition of a word, which is what often happens when we spread mis and disinformation," she told the two conservative panelists. "Retribution is when you don't like what somebody says and so you use the power that you have through a democratic process or an authoritative process, and you go after people with the hope that you intimidate them to stand up against you."

"We should all agree retaliation, retribution –– Donald Trump said retribution," she added.
