Trump Warns CNN and MS NOW Against Booking Ex-Aides Ty Cobb and Miles Taylor
The targets are former aides who now criticize him regularly on cable news.
Overview
- Trump posted on Truth Social on Feb. 6 denouncing Cobb and Taylor with insults and questioning their credibility.
- He told CNN and MS NOW they were “forewarned not to put them on the air again,” asserting the pair know nothing about him.
- Ty Cobb served on the White House legal team, and Miles Taylor was chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security.
- Trump claimed he fired Cobb for discussing a case within earshot of reporters, while Taylor is also known for authoring an anonymous anti-Trump op-ed.
- The post coincided with the deletion of a widely denounced racist meme depicting Barack and Michelle Obama, and no network booking changes have been reported.
