Laura Ingraham Not Pleased After CNN Airs Michael Cohen's Crude Nickname For Trump
HuffPost
The Fox News host was unimpressed after CNN's Jake Tapper told viewers about the moniker, which entered the court record Thursday.
Fox News’ Laura Ingraham seethed at CNN on Thursday after host Jake Tapper shared a wild tidbit from former President Donald Trump’s trial.
In court on Thursday, Trump’s attorney, Todd Blanche, read out a crude nickname for his client during a hearing about the gag order against Trump.
Blanche was trying to convince Judge Juan Merchan that Trump should be allowed to defend himself against criticism, even if it means attacking witnesses in the case.
It was during this argument that the moniker “VonShitzinPantz” entered the court record, as Blanche read out critical tweets from Trump’s former lawyer, Michael Cohen, a key witness for the prosecution.
It drew laughs in the courtroom, and again from a panel on CNN, when Tapper shared it, telling viewers, “I apologize for this update.”
