Debate raged in the United Kingdom’s Parliament Monday over whether or not President Donald Trump should be extended the warm welcome of a full state visit. As insults targeting Trump flew back and forth, CNN seemed to get a good laugh out it all. “Insults flying over Trump’s invitation for a formal state visit to the UK,” hyped Erin Burnett during her show OutFront, “One Member of Parliament today likening it to quote, “pimping out the queen.’” All while the on-screen headline read “can God save the queen … from Trump?”
“President Trump doesn’t just get people stirred up at home. Look what happened in the British parliament. All because Britain’s prime minister invited President Trump to [a state visit],” reported CNN’s Jeanne Moos as she played clips of members of Parliament yelling and screaming. “I’m standing here as a woman being shouted down by women,” Anne Main of the Conservative Party can be heard saying.
Moos seemed in awe of the number of Britons who were opposed to the President getting the chance to meet and have dinner with the queen of England. “Over 1.8 million UK residents signed a petition saying it was okay for President Trump to come visit, but that he should not get an official state visit, ‘because it would cause embarrassment to her majesty the queen,’” she said while quoting the petition.
