A caller to C-SPAN’s Washington Journal sparked controversy this week after issuing an inflammatory warning directed at President Donald Trump’s family.
During the call, Darrell, who identified himself as a Democrat from Georgia, told host Mimi Geerges that his top political story of the year involved the release of the Epstein files. He went on to accuse Trump of being a pedophile and said members of the Trump family should not allow their children to be around the president.
“I would advise Ivanka Trump, which is his daughter, and Lara Trump, his daughter-in-law, to please hide the grandbabies,” the caller said. “Do not let these grandbabies go around Papa, Papa Trump, because we all know he’s a pedophile.”
Darrell concluded his remarks by urging C-SPAN to resist what he described as censorship efforts tied to the Trump administration.
“That guy with the FCC, [Brendan Carr] and Trump and the rest of them clowns over there, they’re going to do everything they can to try to shut C-SPAN down,” he said. “But I know you guys are going to stand strong and let us keep on calling in.”
