CNN commentator Bakari Sellers recently slammed the former President Donald Trump in a Monday morning segment discussing how the 2024 election might play out.
“If this campaign becomes Trump vs. Biden,” asked CNN News Central anchor John Berman, “and it devolves into something like old vs. dangerous — if Democrats say ‘Donald Trump is dangerous,’ Republicans say ‘Joe Biden is old’ — is that a race that Democrats would be confident about?”
Sellers mocked Berman’s use of the word “if,” and declared he was sure the 2024 general election would be “Joe Biden vs. Donald Trump, point-blank, period.”
The former South Carolina state representative then took a swipe at his own party, calling Democrats “proverbial bedwetters.”
“Anytime somebody says something harsh about the president or he mistakes the president of Egypt for representing Mexico, we just, we just wring our hands, I mean, we go clutch our pearls, we just go absolutely nuts,” said Sellers.
However, he continued:
“Our candidate is the President of the United States. He’s old. He’s 80. But this 80-year-old man has accomplished more than any other grandfather in the history of the United States of America. He’s actually performed the task well. He’s gotten bipartisan legislation through, and the alternative is someone who’s dangerous.
Let’s embrace what it is. I don’t know why the White House is afraid of it. Embrace it, he’s old, but look, he’s better than the alternative, and that alternative is somebody dangerous who has 91 felony counts, who, oh by the way, who wants to talk about other people’s families, but he has five kids by three baby mamas.
Let’s actually have this discussion on the merits and I believe we would win that election.”
