The liberal media had been trying to make a lot of hay out of accusations that the Trump family had tried to sell access to themselves and their president-elect father. So far such concerns seem to have little merit since all of the instances pointed to by accusers have not actually happened. But that didn’t stop it from being a topic of conversation on CNN’s OutFront on Wednesday. “This has been a stumbling block for the Trumps,” argued fill in host Poppy Harlow, after a long winded report about the accusations was aired, “Why even open yourself up to this criticism?”

Conservative radio host Ben Ferguson was on hand, and completely dismantled the ridiculous controversy surrounding an auction where participants would bid on having coffee with Ivanka Trump:

They weren't personally benefitting from this. You look at the $70,000 coffee for example. It was going to help children with cancer at St. Jude’s Children's Research Hospital. That’s not personally benefitting Ivanka Trump or Donald Trump. That is something that people should’ve supported. Because you have children that are there getting life-saving treatment.

It appeared to be something Ferguson was every passionate about, because it was in his home town of Memphis and, “And it makes me personally angry because people have turned it into somehow this money was going into their pocket, or was going to personally benefit them.”

Thanks for a well-reasoned argument. The Trumps need to make it a little more difficult for their enemies to find fault.
