Paula Johnson, co-chairwoman of New Hampshire-based Women for Trump, used her personality and enthusiasm for the candidate to take over a segment of CNN’s “Legal View” on Friday.
At issue was Donald Trump’s town hall meeting Thursday, during which the Republican presidential candidate did not correct a questioner who said President Barack Obama was a non-American Muslim.
“A lot of people ask a lot of questions of Mr. Trump, and since we don’t have censorship there, it is his First Amendment right to ask the question,” Johnson told host Ashleigh Banfield, adding that Trump “gave an answer that we’re going to look into this.”
Later, Banfield asked Johnson whether she wasn’t troubled that Trump didn’t correct the town hall questioner.
“Why don’t we get off of this subject already,” Johnson said. “I don’t care what the president is. I look at people as, are they capable of running my country.”
She then segued into a discussion of her candidate’s qualifications for office.
“So, I feel that Mr. Trump is a very successful businessman,” Johnson said. “I think he has more of the qualifications to run this country.”
When Johnson pointed out that the man at the town hall meeting had every right to ask whatever question he wanted, Banfield replied that Trump should have corrected the record at that point.
“Well, let me ask you a question!” Johnson shot back. “What about when our president is disrespectful to the prime minister of Israel? Is that OK?”
When the host replied that she didn’t think Obama was disrespectful to Benjamin Netanyahu, the discussion quickly deteriorated into cross-talk among Johnson, Banfield, and Dean Obeidallah, another guest.
As Banfield closed the segment, Johnson continued denouncing Obama and lauding Trump’s qualifications.
Liberal media outlets, describing Johnson’s CNN appearance, referred to her as “bonkers,” but that could be because they never ran into someone as delightfully tenacious as she.

A Clinton supporter attended a Trump speech. Yawn. So I attended a John Kerry speech and got a seat in the second row. Does that make me a George Bush plant? I didn't get a call from Karl Rove. Why? Well the last national official to stop in my town was Ike. Call me curious... like the guy in the article you didn't read.
I read what you posted and it appears that the plant was not the questioner but rather a person who reacted to the questioner. at least that is how I read it. Thanks for posting it BTW
I believe the evidence is conclusive that soetoro is an enemy islamist.
He breathes it.
Shaking ones head doesn’t mean much. I was shaking my head too. The questioner sounded drunk even if his point about Moslem training camps was valid.
The only correctin’ that’s been done on this issue was when Stephanopolis corrected Obama after he claimed to have a Muslim faith.
Yeah. I don’t get why they are calling him shaking his head AMAZING. Must be easily impressed.

Oh, and Ashleigh Banfield donated to Obama in 2008
Actually I went to all the trouble of linking the video and screwed it up. My bad.
Disgusting the way she was treated.
And notice how they shouted over her when the dirty word ‘Israel’ was mentioned.

Hell I saw graduation pictures for one of the graduating classes and they were Latino, dressed in black uniforms carrying MP5s.
Do I get an apology?
I thought I was apologizing.

accepted
God Save The Republic
Remember the Alamo. ;>D
Why does no one point out that the first part of Trump’s non-answer was laughter, which was eloquent enough for the whole answer.
Pictures of the training camps are all over the net.
CONGRATULATIONS CNN!!! CNN got a middle aged Jewish lady to appear as a guest, sent her a car, and slammed the hell out of her.
