In a segment on CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip confronted Batya Ungar-Sargon over her claims that media coverage of President Trump's comments was a hoax. Phillip highlighted a particular exchange where Trump, when asked about upholding the Constitution, responded ambiguously. The panel discussed whether Trump's intentions were misunderstood or manipulated by the media. Ungar-Sargon insisted that Trump's answer reflected legitimate uncertainty about constitutional interpretations, but Phillip urged a legal perspective, challenging the narrative promoted by Ungar-Sargon and the media's framing of the issue.
It's clear when Trump said, 'I don't know,' what he meant was what he finished his sentence saying, which is, 'I don't know where the Supreme Court is going to come down on whether deporting these illegal migrants is constitutional or not.' It's very obvious.
If Trump wants to deport illegal immigrants, he can do that, but he ought to do it legally. Do you think that that is a fair thing to say at this moment?
