This might have been the political analysis fail of the week.
CNN political contributor John Phillips stood out in a grid of talking heads when he made an awkward comment comparing Donald Trump’s campaign to the death of comedian Chris Farley.
“Over the last few days, I’m not surprised to see people running for the hills,” Phillips, a Trump supporter and radio host, said on Tuesday. “The last 72 hours for Donald Trump have been the political equivalent of Chris Farley’s final 72 hours on planet Earth.”
Kevin Farley, the brother of the late “SNL” star who died of a drug overdose after a reported dayslong binge in December 1997, wasn’t laughing. “Tasteless and rude,” he told the Hollywood Reporter.
Phillips has more to say on Trump’s recent controversy. Watch above.
Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims ― 1.6 billion members of an entire religion ― from entering the U.S.
