CNN political commentator Angela Rye refused to say that President Trump was her president in a panel discussion on Monday. Instead, she referred to him as “your president” on two separate occasions.<\/p>\n

Angela Rye appeared on John Berman\u2019s show to discuss Russian meddling and potential collusion with Trump campaign officials during the presidential election\u00a0with former Republican Rep. Jack Kingston.<\/p>\n

Kingston defended\u00a0Donald Trump Jr.\u2019s June 2016 meeting at Trump Tower with Russian attorney Natalia Veselnitskaya saying, “Do you really think they would have had five people in a meeting if this was about collusion with Russia, it just defies logic.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rye responded by claiming, “There are a lot of things that your president has done to defy logic\u2014let\u2019s at least acknowledge that.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kingston immediately fired back,\u00a0\u201cYour president too, Angela. Your president, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

“Well, he’s your president,” Rye responded.<\/p>\n

Anchor John Berman closed the segment by stating Trump is “the president of the United States.”<\/p>\n
