The following article, Watch: CNN Host Cuts Away from Trump Response After 9-0 Supreme Court Ruling to ‘Fact-Check’ Him, was first published on another website.Flag And Cross.
In case it wasn’t extremely obvious already, CNN isn’t a huge fan of Donald Trump.
They’re also not a huge fan of any time that the former president gets a big political win — and on Monday he got just that.
In the landmark decision passed by the Supreme Court Monday morning, it was unanimously decided that Colorado could not remove Trump from their state ballot.
The state’s court had previously ruled in a 4-3 decision to remove the New York City mogul from the ballot, pointing to Section 3 of the 14th Amendment that bars officials that “engaged in insurrection” from holding office.
Of course, after such a major decision, Trump went before a camera to speak about the ramifications of the decision.
“I want to start by thanking the Supreme Court for its unanimous decision today. It was a very important decision, were very well crafted, and I think it will go a long way toward bringing our country together, which our country needs,” Trump said regarding the ruling, per Fox News.
“And they worked long, they worked hard, and frankly, they worked very quickly on something that will be spoken about 100 years from now and 200 years from now,” he continued. “Extremely important.”
The former president condemned the original decision by the Colorado court, saying, “You cannot take somebody out of a race because an opponent would like to have it that way.”
