Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips, who previously challenged Joe Biden for the Democratic nomination, has openly praised Trump supporters during a recent Fox appearance.
Earlier this year, Phillips appeared on CNN and told the story of how he recently went to his first Trump rally. He was amazed at how friendly and diverse the crowd was.
“I’ve got to tell you guys; I went to a Donald Trump rally a couple of nights ago. Never been to one. I had an event across the street. I saw the line of people waiting in the cold for hours and I thought, what the heck, you know, I’m going to be a leader who actually invites people, doesn’t condemn them, I met probably 50 Trump people waiting in line,” he said.
“Every single one of them, thoughtful, hospitable, friendly, all of them so frustrated that they feel nobody’s listening to them but Donald Trump. A diverse crowd. People who had never been to a Trump event before. My party is completely delusional right now.”
Watch:
I seriously cannot believe CNN actually aired this!!! 👀🔥
