Things got heated over at CNN when political commentators sparred over questions about the legitimacy of Donald Trump‘s election.
As a group of panelists on Friday discussed President Obama’s remarks about Russia meddling with the U.S. election and the attempts by some to delegitimatize Trump’s victory, Angela Rye spoke up.
“Donald Trump’s election, in my mind, is far from legitimate at this point,” Rye said, noting that she has “every issue in the world” with Trump not receiving the popular vote and the intelligence community’s assessment of the election.
Panelist Kayleigh McEnany agreed that alleged Russian hacking was inexcusable and was confident that the president-elect would address the issue when he holds a press conference in the future. However, she took issue with Rye’s statement about the legitimacy of Trump’s presidency.
