I want to highlight what I consider to be the best line of the night. It came from Savannah Guthrie who moderated the Trump town hall.
WASHINGTON – NBC moderator Savannah Guthrie prodded President Donald Trump Thursday during his town hall when talking about him retweeting conspiracy theories, saying he's not just "someone's crazy uncle."
Guthrie pressed Trump on his penchant for tweets that spread disinformation, including one post he retweeted that contained a conspiracy theory that former Vice President Joe Biden and President Barack Obama orchestrated a cover-up that included the Navy SEAL Team Six faking the death of terrorist Osama bin Laden.
"That was a retweet. That was an opinion of somebody and that was a retweet. I'll put it out there. People can decide for themselves. I don't take a position," Trump said in defending his tweet.
"You're the president," Guthrie responded. "You're not someone's crazy uncle who can retweet whatever." USA Today
Here’s how Mary Trump reacted:
Her tweet now has almost 200,000 likes and more than 5,000 Re-tweets.
#CrazyUncleDonald is now trending on Twitter. Here’s a selection of the tweets:
Trump has mocked Joe Biden bye calling him by the name of a beloved children's tv personality. This is coming back to bite him in his ample ass: 'Worst self-own I’ve seen this political season': Mr. Rogers trends after Trump adviser goes after Biden town hall. USA Today.
Mr. Rogers was trending Thursday night after Mercedes Schlapp, a senior adviser for President Donald Trump's reelection campaign, compared Democratic nominee Joe Biden's town hall to the beloved show.
"Well @JoeBiden @ABCPolitics townhall feels like I am watching an episode of Mister Rodgers Neighborhood," Schlapp tweeted, misspelling TV icon Fred Rogers' last name.
This didn’t go unnoticed on Twitter.
Trump is a crazy uncle. Who should know better than a his clinical psychologist niece?
