ABC News anchor George Stephanopoulos got caught making an appalling gesture while Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow was speaking during live coverage.
Stephanopoulos was caught on live tv making a throat-slitting gesture as Sekulow was answering questions about the past few days of the impeachment trial and what the Trump will be doing in the days to come.
Sekulow said, “We’ve got something very different from what you’re hearing up here. We’ve got lawyers that will be put forward when our side of the case goes that represents multiple schools of thought on what is an impeachable offense,” the president’s personal attorney continues. “They have one thing in common: that the actions alleged and the actions of the president do not reach that level — no matter which school of thought you’re on.”
“We’re not afraid to put out both of those schools of thought because our position is you still have to meet basic, fundamental constitutional obligations and they haven’t,” he concluded.
As he was about to take the next question Stephanopoulos started signaling using the throat-slitting gesture, the camera switched to him and he transitioned to a panel discussing the Trump lawyer’s comments. Of course, Stephanopoulos cut off Sekulow so the audience never heard his entire answer.
These guys are doing everything they can not let the President’s side get out. The liberal media is not going to like the next few days as Trump’s attorneys destroy the Democrat narrative.
Shortly after 3 pm Eastern this afternoon, @AoSHQ noted Stephanopoulos was shown on camera making the slit-the-throat “kill” gesture to cut away from Trump lawyer Jay Sekulow taking press questions. These guys are NOT going to like hearing the Trump side of this trial. pic.twitter.com/5QazRGHosV

Stephanopoulos wasn’t the only one that got himself in trouble, the Sanders campaign tweeted an endorsement that just broke the Democrat primary and Chris Cuomo got a humbling reminder after comments he made about conservatives.
