Throughout CNN’s “State of the Union” on Sunday, the topic of legendary golfer Arnold Palmer’s genitalia was repeatedly raised by Democratic and Independent guests, as well as host Jake Tapper, while discussing former President Donald Trump’s recent rally in Pennsylvania.
Trump appeared on stage Saturday in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, the hometown of Palmer, where he paid tribute to the late golfer’s life and their friendship. However, CNN’s focus on Sunday seemed to center solely on Trump describing Palmer as “all man,” as Tapper opened the show by pressing Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson on the topic.
“Mr. Speaker, you’re crossing all over the country. You’re working hard to get Republicans over the line in this election. You’re talking about substantive issues. Is this really the closing message you want voters to hear from Donald Trump — stories about Arnold Palmer’s penis?” Tapper asked.
While Johnson wanted to focus on Harris’ record versus Trump’s rhetoric, the CNN host continued to press him on Trump’s comments, claiming that the former president’s joke may contribute to “concerns” voters have about Trump’s mental “fitness.”
“But if President Biden had gone on stage and spoke about the size of a pro-golfers penis, I think you would be on this show right now saying you were shocked and appalled and you would suggest it was evidence of his cognitive decline,” Tapper said.
“I know you want to talk about policy, and I respect that, but the reason that Donald Trump is not up 10 points is because of comments like that one, where people do have concerns about his fitness, his acuity and his stability. Why is he talking about Arnold Palmer’s penis in front of Pennsylvania voters?” Tapper questioned.
Johnson called out the CNN host, stating that he seemed “to like that line a lot,” before defending Trump and highlighting the policies of the Biden-Harris administration that are driving voters to support the former president.
