CNN’s Holmes: ‘We’re Trying to Sort Through What that Sentence Actually Even Meant’ When Trump Accused Newsom, Bass of Paying Agitators

EXCERPT:

HOLMES: "Yeah, and, Erin, we did ask for clarity on those comments because, like much of what Donald Trump says, it wasn‘t entirely clear if he was blaming them or also, as you said, saying that they were paying him. We were trying to sort through what that sentence actually even meant. Donald Trump has taken almost every opportunity he can to talk to reporters about what‘s going on in Los Angeles. A lot of what he said seemed to be this idea that he was doubling down on the fact that he had called the marines, and that he called the National Guard. And at one point, when he was at Fort Bragg, also using what almost seemed like legal terminology to defend his actions. Of course, as we know, there have been multiple lawsuits now brought against Trump for calling in the National Guard. At one point during that speech, he said that people were infiltrating and operating in federal buildings, that they were taking control of federal property. He said that they were mobbing police. He called it a rebellion and invasion. He said multiple times they had to stop this invasion.”
