CNN contributor Tara Setmayer, who in the past has never hidden her anti-Trump agenda, got into an impressive war of words with conservative commentator Scottie Nell Hughes on CNN Monday morning. I note “impressive” specifically to highlight Setmayer’s quotations from scripture off the top of her head in direct rebuttal to Hughes’ claims over the issue of Donald Trump‘s so-called war on woman.
The issue at hand was a simple one: how can Trump — the GOP frontrunner whose derisive rhetoric against woman in his past has sparked untold controversies on the campaign trail — be considered a role model to young women? Hughes proudly asserted that not only is Trump a positive leader for young females, but that she, in fact, would be taking her own eight-year-old niece to see Trump Tower because “I look at actions.”
And just when Hughes attempted to argue that Trump is the utmost representative of “integrity and character”, Setmayer went in for the kill. “Really? So the man has been married three times — who publicly shamed his wife when he was cheating on her with his mistress — that’s a man of integrity for you?” Check. Mate.
“We get the picture,” referee Costello offered before ending the segment, as Setmayer beamed at her Biblical-themed romp and Hughes was left quietly picking up the pieces of yet another crushed pro-Trump cable news “argument.”
