A CNN panel had a good laugh as a GOP pundit twisted himself in a “pretzel” defending the Trump family.<\/p>\n

While discussing recent revelations about how much money Trump and his family made since returning to office last year, conservative podcaster Ben Ferguson had everyone around him in stitches.<\/p>\n

Ferguson, the host of “The Ben Ferguson Show,” argued that the Trump family isn’t corrupt for its involvement in billion-dollar ventures involving cryptocurrency and tungsten mining because they were engaged in “actual business.”<\/p>\n

CNN anchor Abby Phillip, who described the Trump family as “real estate developers,” shot back by asking, “What do the Trump sons know about mining rare earth minerals? What do the Trump sons know about robotics?”<\/p>\n

Ferguson’s response was, “A lot, clearly, they made a lot of money off of it because they actually invest in it.”<\/p>\n

The panel around him, which included political analyst and attorney Bakari Sellers, former Biden White House staffer Yemisi Egbewole, and former Bush White House official Ashley Davis, could be heard laughing together as Ferguson responded.<\/p>\n

Sellers chimed in by remarking, “I do hot yoga, and I feel like you’re doing a little hot yoga too for that pretzel you got yourself in,” which led to Egbewole and Davis laughing more.<\/p>\n

“The president makes $400,000 a year,” Sellers pointed out. “This quarter, he’s made over $1 billion on crypto alone…that fundamentally is unethical. You can call it what you want.”<\/p>\n

While Sellers mentioned Trump’s presidential salary, Ferguson threw in one more defense: “he gives it all away,” which also caused laughter around the table.<\/p>\n
