CNN Guest: I Think There Is Nobody Here That Does Not Want Donald Trump to Be Defeated’

Tuesday night, during CNN’s coverage of the Democratic primary results, Justice Democrats executive director Alexandra Rojas acknowledged none of the people on that news network’s set wanted President Donald Trump to win re-election in 2020.

Rojas said, “I think that Senator Sanders’ campaign is much more than just a presidential campaign. It represents dozens of grassroots organizations, thousands of activists and organizers, Latinos, young people, millions of people that right now during this crisis, even before it felt like they were in a crisis, right? Because here in America, even before this pandemic hit, we have 67% of Americans that can’t afford an $800 emergency bill if that happened tomorrow, right? We have small business owners right now in the midst of the pandemic that aren’t sure if they’re going to have the support that they need.”

“What I think that means right now is that millennials, we want Donald Trump to be defeated too,” she said on the CNN broadcast. “I think there’s nobody here that doesn’t want Donald Trump to be defeated. I think the question that I would ask to Joe Biden, as the presumptive nominee who needs to also focus on unifying the party, is the fact that millennials are going through their second recession right now. You have to be able to appeal to them.”

Anchor Anderson Cooper and network chief political analyst Gloria Borger did not object to Rojas’s statement.
