CNN’s Abby Phillip shocks with criticism of Obama – Screencap of Twitter/X video.
CNN’s Abby Phillip surprised audiences this week by agreeing with Donald Trump Jr. that Obama should have mentioned President Trump in his recent tweet about the Middle East peace deal.
It’s amazing if you consider the network and Abby’s record.
What was not surprising was Obama’s tweet. He just couldn’t bring himself to mention Trump’s name.
This is the full text of Obama’s tweet:

Phillip shared her thoughts on CNN’s Table for Five on Saturday morning.
“Honestly, it’s not unfair to say, if President Obama is going to write a whole post about a peace deal, maybe he should acknowledge the president who brokered it,” she said.
