Kirsten Powers: Conservatives Don’t Really Know Who Trump is ‘Because That’s Not Covered on Fox News’

During a discussion on former Trump fixer Michael Cohen implicating Donald Trump in the hush money scandal, CNN political analyst Kirsten Powers pushed back on the idea that Trump voters were well aware before the election that Trump had a past that involved Playboy covers and bawdy talk on Howard Stern.

She then suggested that the reason didn’t really know a lot about Trump’s dirty deeds is because it just isn’t covered on Fox News.

Anderson Cooper asked Powers what she thought of the notion that it was already “baked in” that Trump’s persona included a Playboy-style past and  “people had kind of already heard or figured out who Donald Trump is and were willing to look the other way or just didn’t care.”

“Yeah, I don’t believe that the average Trump voter actually knew a lot of this about Donald Trump,” Powers replied. “I don’t think he knew he was hanging out at the Playboy mansion because that’s not covered on Fox News. And I’m not being sarcastic. That’s where they get their information.”

She added: “Rush Limbaugh is not talking about it. Fox News is not talking about it. Conservative blogs are not talking about it. I think to this day they probably don’t have a full picture of exactly who Donald Trump has been over his life.”

Then speaking of the sexual harassment claims, she noted, “the average conservative voter typically tends to kind of roll their eyes at those kinds of things and they don’t tend to take it that seriously.”
