In case you missed it, here’s a clip of what Rep. Ocasio-Cortez was referring to:
Trump says girls will nonetheless vote for him after he was discovered to have sexually abused E.

Everybody knew this was coming. As quickly as the decision was introduced within the civil trial, the warnings went out that Trump was going to make use of the city corridor to assault E. Jean Carroll as a result of that’s what he at all times does.
CNN couldn’t have been stunned by this, as a result of it’s how Trump operates. The community may have shut down Trump when he started to smear Carroll. CNN may have began off with the sexual abuse query and had tight follow-ups ready.
Trump steamrolls and takes over any interview when he’s given time and area. Trump can’t deal with or operate inside construction. If CNN would have saved the questioning tight and temporary, Trump would have been denied the room that he wanted to smear his sufferer.
CNN dropped the ball in some ways on the Trump city corridor, however permitting a sexual predator to verbally assault the girl that he sexually assaulted is worse than poor planning.
It’s a contemptible disrespect to victims that ought to by no means have appeared on CNN.
