CNN commentator Bakari Sellers said Thursday that President Donald Trump shouldn’t be praised for his Christmas visit to Iraq because it’s something he’s supposed to do.
The president and his wife Melania surprised American troops stationed in Iraq for Christmas this year, but Sellers said the trip has been over-hyped.
“We have the soft bigotry of low expectations here,” he said on “New Day.” (RELATED: Trump And Melania Make Surprise Christmas Visit To Iraq)
Sellers also said he was disappointed to see Trump insert politics into the visit and accused him of having “soiled the moment” with his political agenda.
“I think it’s disappointing that he inserted politics into this and just standing in front of our troops, being that commander-in-chief… showing the honor and he just soiled the moment, as he tends to do,” he said.
