CNN Anchor Trolls Fox News Over Trump F-Bomb With ‘Pearl-Clutching’ Supercut

CNN anchor Abby Phillip trolled Fox News over their reaction to President Donald Trump’s live F-bomb by dropping a cut of past “pearl-clutching” reactions to profanity by Democratic figures.

A furious Trump lashed out Tuesday morning at Iran and Israel for strikes that occurred after he announced the fragile ceasefire, exclaiming to reporters, “They don’t know what the fuck they’re doing!”

On Tuesday night’s edition of CNN NewsNight, Phillip roasted Fox News for complaining when Democrats curse, but quipped that when Trump does it, “No Fox given”:

DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA: We basically have two countries that have been fighting so long and so hard that they don’t know what the (BEEP) they’re doing. Do you understand that?

PHILLIP: After the President dropped a four-letter word on the White House lawn, it appears not all F-bombs are created equal. At least on Fox, here is how one host reacted to Trump, and then 20 minutes later, reacting to a Democrat using the same word.

EMILY COMPAGNO, FNC HOST: The President feeling very frustrated this morning and using some salty language as he lashed out at both countries, accusing them of violating the agreement that he hopes will lead to peace in the region. I was particularly repulsed by Rep. Jasmine Crockett’s comments where she said, I’m the one that’s supposed to make the F-ing decision on bombing Iran. First of all, it’s a pretty foul mouth of her for someone that went to a tidy little all-girls Catholic school.

PHILLIP: In fact, it seems there’s a lot of pearl clutching over at Fox whenever the swearing is done by liberals.

UNKNOWN: I don’t understand all the Democrats cursing. I find it very unpersuasive and undignified.

UNKNOWN: They’ve got expensive education, some of them. Why are they out of words? I’m just — I’m confounded by the fact that they’ve got to cuss.

UNKNOWN: When you swear repeatedly like that, that doesn’t equal passion. It equals disrespect.

UNKNOWN: Now, they think cursing like drunken sailors will somehow make the American people like them again.

UNKNOWN: Look. To me, the Democrats are like a bunch of potty mouth kids.

PHILLIP: But when Donald Trump does it, zero Fox given.
