CNN’s Begala: Trump Is a Different Kind of President Like OJ’s Is a Different Kind of Football Player

Thursday on CNN’s “New Day,” network political analyst Paul Begala said of panelist Jeffrey Lord calling President Donald Trump a “different kind of president” was like saying O.J. Simpson was a “different kind of football player.”

Begala said, “Jeffrey Lord says he’s a different kind of president, well he is, he is — O.J. Simpson is a different kind of football player. That doesn’t make him a better person, that doesn’t make Mr. Trump a better president.”

Discussing The New York Times interview, he continued, “We saw him attack the Attorney General of the United States Jeff Sessions, the Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, the former FBI Director James Comey, the acting FBI Director Andy McCabe and the special counsel. This is a man who has decided to make an all-out assault on the rule of law. Why? Because it’s closing in on him because he knows he’s guilty.”
