CNN host and GOP lawmaker debate Trump's comments on protecting women from migrants
CNN host John Berman and Rep. Byron Donalds, R-Fla., debated former President Trump's recent comments about protecting women "whether they like it or not." Berman suggested the remarks were sexist, while Donalds defended Trump, saying he was addressing violence from illegal immigrants. During a rally, Trump joked about ignoring advice not to present himself as a protector of women. He claimed he would safeguard them from migrants and foreign threats. Berman questioned the appropriateness of Trump's language, prompting Donalds to emphasize the context of Trump's message. The discussion included a clip of Nikki Haley expressing concern over Trump's campaign messaging. Donalds criticized Berman for selective editing and reiterated that Trump aims to protect women from violence related to illegal immigration.
