CNN's Ryan Says Trump's Proposal to Nuke Hurricanes Is Based on Racial Animus
By Ryan Foley | August 27, 2019 6:11 PM EDT

The unanimously anti-Trump panel on Monday’s New Day melted down at President Trump’s alleged far-fetched suggestion to use nuclear weapons to stop hurricanes headed towards the United States. While everyone on the panel laughed off at the idea, CNN political analyst April Ryan took it a step further by declaring that the desire to nuke hurricanes off the coast of Africa is motivated by racial animus.

As she reacted to President Trump’s alleged proposal, CNN political commentator Angela Rye told her fellow panelists: “I keep wanting you all to wake me up and tell me this is a very long, terrible, bad dream. But it’s real. It’s the real thing.”

After CNN political commentator Bakari Sellers suggested that President Trump got the idea from Sharknado, co-host Alisyn Camerota pointed out that the idea of using nuclear weapons to stop hurricanes was floated during the Eisenhower administration. Camerota used her reference as an excuse to remind the audience that the 1950s is “where President Trump gets a lot of his ideas about...when America was sort of at its best.”
