CNN’s Abby Phillip accidentally handed MAGA a nickname for President Donald Trump that they are fully embracing after she covered his crackdown on crime in Washington, D.C.
During Monday’s NewsNight, Phillip opened a segment on Trump’s announcement that he is deploying National Guard troops to D.C. by mocking him for declaring himself “crimefighter in chief” and “Batman.”
“Donald Trump makes himself Batman and the nation’s capital is Gotham City,” the CNN anchor said, referring to the DC comics superhero. “The President of the United States has declared himself crime-fighter-in-chief, and he’s taking over Washington’s police force.”
The president declared a “public safety emergency” in D.C. this week after calling it one of the most “dangerous” places in the world.
