White House Communications Director Steven Cheung whined on social media Wednesday after CNN host Abby Phillip called out President Donald Trump over the Iran war and his head-spinning foreign policy since he returned to office.
“Totally unhinged @abbydphillip of CNN has no sense at all,” Cheung wrote Wednesday on X.
His comments came minutes after the “CNN Newsnight” host responded to ex-Rep. Peter Meijer’s (R-Mich.) suggestion that the jump in oil prices in recent weeks is “so much less dramatic” than the administration’s expectations, and that Trump’s low polling numbers would still be similar even if Iran capitulated on Day 1.
“But don’t you think Americans are rational about paying a dollar more per gallon at the gas [pump]?” Phillip asked.
She went on, “I think they’re saying very clearly they do not think that this step needed to be taken.”
