The CNN political commentator, on Thursday, weighed in after former President Donald Trump not too long ago talked about her great-grandfather whereas hoping the economic system will crash as he declared that he didn’t “wanna be Herbert Hoover” – who was president on the onset of the Great Depression.
The CNN political commentator cracked a smile after host Erin Burnett stated the 2 “seem to agree” on Herbert Hoover.
“I never knew him. He died in ’64, I was born in ’77. But will Democrats just bury the 90-year-old talking point from the early 20th century and recognize the Great Depression was a unique event in American history?” she requested.
“FDR couldn’t solve it, Hoover couldn’t solve it. We’ve learned a lot about macroeconomics since then.”
Democratic strategist and CNN’s senior political commentator David Axelrod interjected, stating that Trump ― a Republican ― is the one who “brought it up” first.
“He is not a Republican,” replied Margaret Hoover.
“Wherever your great-grandfather – wherever he is, he should be happy that Donald Trump doesn’t want to be him,” Axelrod stated.
