'Rage and bile': CNN panel buries Trump for 'human scum' Memorial Day rant
Raw StoryFormer President Donald Trump drew scorn on CNN Tuesday when a panel discussed his Memorial Day message in which he attacked what he called "human scum" that he said were destroying the United States of America. After watching a clip of President Joe Biden's Memorial Day address at Arlington National Cemetery and contrasting it with Trump's angry message, The Atlantic's David Frum argued that Trump was engaging in a deliberate strategy that he believed represented the current fragmented media environment. Former Biden White House Communications Director Kate Bedingfield, however, predicted that Trump's Memorial Day rant about "human scum" would not be beneficial to him politically. "On a day when you're celebrating fallen soldiers, who most people in this country have a family tie to, or a friend, and he takes it and makes it about him, he's like the guy in your friend group who turns everything to him," she said.
