D.L. Hughley: 'The Reason That They Call Donald Trump's Actions Retarded is Because They Are'

A new week means new outrageous commentary on The D.L. Hughley Show. This time, Hughley and his panel defended the description of President Trump as "mentally retarded" by an audience member at one of Kamala Harris's campaign events. Co-host Jasmine Sanders read aloud the quote from the audience member before noting that Harris apologized for saying "well said" in response to the audience member's characterization of the President as retarded. At this point, a disappointed Hughley jumped in and said "that's what it is about Kamala." Hughley was disappointed that Harris "wouldn't call him racist." Sanders went on to praise Elizabeth Warren, favorably contrasting her with Harris: "I like the fact that she says what she means and she means what she says...and she will call out Donald Trump on his racist bigotry all day long and not apologize about it." Hughley complained that Harris was "contorting a lot," adding "the reason that they call Donald Trump's actions retarded is because they are." According to Sanders, "I know people don't like that word...but we have to use it." Sanders and the panel proceeded to defend the phrase "retarded" as an "actual medical term."
