Anti-Trump CNN Analyst Floored as She Agrees with Trump Fan on Shutdown

CNN analyst Cari Champion was floored on Saturday to find she actually agreed with pro-Trump radio host Arthur Aidala on the current government shutdown.

On CNN’s Table for Five on Saturday, Aidala called for both Republicans and Democrats to set their political differences aside to fund the federal government. The call came amid federal employees missing paychecks and looming questions about funding for federal assistance programs like SNAP.

“I wonder if both sides would take off their little Democratic pin and their little Republican pin and say, you know what, I am I’m an American and these are the people who I serve and they’re hungry they are they are literally hungry and so I’m gonna put aside and Trump and this but and let’s just fix it and let’s feed let’s feet our American citizens,” Aidala, a criminal defense attorney and Trump ally who was reportedly considered for Brooklyn U.S. Attorney, argued.
