U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia Jeanine Pirro snapped at CNN’s Jake Tapper Sunday after the host read aloud an excerpt from the manifesto reportedly penned by the suspected gunman who disrupted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner (WHCD) last month, an excerpt that appeared to label the president as a “p——– r—–.”
Identified as 31-year-old California resident Cole Tomas Allen, the suspected gunman was captured on video rushing through a Secret Service checkpoint at the WHCD, where President Donald Trump was widely reported to be in attendance. Though the suspect didn’t mention Trump by name in his supposed manifesto, Pirro said it was “very clear” that the president was the “intended target.”
“You alluded to the target being clear by the manifesto – the only name in the manifesto is Kash Patel, which he says Kash Patel is not a target,” Tapper said. “I want to apologize for using this language, but he does say ‘I am no longer willing to permit a p——– r—– and traitor to coat my hands with his crimes.’”
Pirro winced as Tapper uttered the word “p———,” cocking her head to the side, opening her mouth as if to respond, and reaching for her mug resting beside her.
“First of all, that’s outrageous – I mean, there’s a lot of other things you could have referred to!” Pirro said. “This guy is a hater, he hates Trump so much he wants to kill him!”
There is no evidence to support Allen’s supposed assertion that Trump is a “p———,” with critics using the term to attack Trump often referencing the allegations leveled against the president unearthed by the Justice Department’s (DOJ) release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Trump is mentioned more than 3,000 times in the DOJ’s release of Epstein-related files.
