‘Sir!’ Trump Fan Tells CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan ‘R-E-A-D The Constitution!’ When He Says God Isn’t Mentioned In It
A Trump fan told CNN correspondent Donie O’Sullivan to “R-E-A-D the Constitution” when he told her God isn’t mentioned in the Constitution” — which it is not.
O’Sullivan specializes in reporting on the fringes of the conservative and pro-Trump movement, and frequently finds himself on the receiving end of some stunning quotes. On Sunday’s The Whole Story with Anderson Cooper, Donie drops a new collection in an episode entitled “MisinfoNation: The Trump Faithful.”
On Friday’s edition of CNN News Central, anchor Kate Bolduan previewed the show with a clip in which O’Sullivan argues with a woman about Trump’s election lies and God and the U.S. Constitution:
KATE BOLDUAN: This week’s all new episode of the whole story with Anderson Cooper. CNN’s Donie O’Sullivan looks at how conspiracy theories and online misinformation are already impacting this year’s presidential campaign. It all airs Sunday at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific on CNN. Of course. Here’s a preview.
TRUMP FAN: The job of the journalist is to ask the questions, allow the person to speak and just report the facts. What was spoken. Would you like for me to pull up the definition of journalists?
DONIE O’SULLIVAN: That’s okay, but thank you, Julie.
TRUMP FAN: Okay. I have a God-given right to speak my own truth.
DONIE O’SULLIVAN: But there are facts, right?
TRUMP FAN: The facts have shown that the election was stolen. Whether you’re willing to look at that and accept that and really show what’s going on, that’s your issue, not ours.
We want the God-Given freedom that our Constitution and our Bill of rights is based on.
DONIE O’SULLIVAN: God-given constitutional rights.
TRUMP FAN: Yes.
DONIE O’SULLIVAN: They’re two different things, right?
TRUMP FAN: No, sir, they’re not! Read. R-E-A-D the Constitution. Read it out loud to yourself so that you hear what the words of the Constitution say.
DONIE O’SULLIVAN: God isn’t mentioned in the Constitution.
TRUMP FAN: Sir!
