This is absolutely outrageous.
In yet another outrageous moment of media bias, CNN commentator Bakari Sellers suggested on live television that members of President Donald Trump’s family should have their citizenship questioned — a claim that left many Americans stunned and furious.
✅ This is not satire — it happened on CNN’s own airwaves.
During a segment Tuesday on CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip, Sellers responded to the Trump administration’s crackdown on criminal immigrants by turning the focus toward Trump’s own children, including Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka, Eric, Barron, and Tiffany — all of whom are American-born U.S. citizens.
What Sparked This Radical Claim?
The CNN panel was discussing a June 11 memo from the Department of Justice, instructing U.S. attorneys to “prioritize and maximally pursue denaturalization proceedings” — particularly against individuals linked to terrorism, espionage, or serious crimes.
This commonsense directive is part of President Trump’s broader strategy to protect American communities by revoking fraudulently obtained citizenship and removing criminal threats from U.S. soil.
CNN Goes Off the Rails
Instead of focusing on public safety, Sellers hijacked the discussion to take a personal swipe at the Trump family:
“If we want to have a conversation about who belongs where… I would look at Donald Trump Jr., all of Melania’s kids, all of Ivana’s kids,” he said.
He even suggested that Tiffany Trump, daughter of Marla Maples, was the only one who “should be here” — despite the fact that every one of Trump’s children was born in the United States and are 100% natural-born citizens.
The Facts Liberals Ignore
- Melania Trump, the First Lady, became a U.S. citizen in 2006 through the legal immigration process.
- Ivana Trump, mother of Don Jr., Ivanka, and Eric, became a citizen in 1988 after escaping Communist Czechoslovakia.
- Marla Maples, Tiffany’s mother, is a native-born American.
- All of Trump’s children were born on U.S. soil, making them natural citizens by birthright — a fact CNN’s Sellers completely ignored.
Why This Matters
For Americans who believe in the rule of law, CNN’s segment was not just offensive — it was a thinly veiled political attack aimed at undermining a president who has taken real action to keep criminals, terrorists, and gang members out of our country.
According to Assistant Attorney General Brett Shumate, denaturalization helps protect America by:
- Removing war criminals and human rights violators
- Blocking the re-entry of terrorists
- Stripping gang members and violent criminals of U.S. passports
✅ In short, it’s about protecting American families — not political theater.
Conclusion: Media Desperation or Something Worse?
For conservative Americans over 50, this bizarre CNN moment is yet another reminder of how far the liberal media will go to smear President Trump — even stooping so low as to question the citizenship of his own American-born children.
As Trump works to restore law and order, the radical left continues to push dangerous narratives that undermine national security and insult the intelligence of everyday Americans.
