Critics Mock Trump For Name-Dropping Joan Rivers In Bizarre Election Claim
HuffPost
MSNBC's Joy Reid spotted a "minor problem" with the former president claiming he knows "one thing" about Rivers in a newly-released clip.
Former President Donald Trump — who complained about thousands of dead people voting — suggested that Joan Rivers voted for him in the 2016 election despite the comedian’s death in 2014, according to an audio clip.
The clip — which MSNBC’s Joy Reid aired on her program Thursday — stems from one of Trump’s interviews with Ramin Setoodeh, co-editor-in-chief at Variety and author of the recently-released book “Apprentice in Wonderland” which looks at the former president’s life after the White House.
“Joan said she was a Republican, did you know that?” asked Setoodeh as the two discussed the comedian’s time on “The Celebrity Apprentice.”
“I thought she might have been a Republican,” Trump replied. “I know one thing: she voted for me, according to what she said.”
Reid reacted to the clip by noting “one minor problem” with Trump’s remarks.
