Democrats Who Support Trump: CNN's Coverage of Cohen, Manafort Is a 'Side Show'

CNN recently visited Pennsylvania and spoke to Democrats in the state who voted for Trump in 2016. They still back Trump and see through the media's non-stop circus of coverage of topics like Manafort and Cohen.

Registered Democrats who support President Donald Trump told CNN its coverage of the president's administration is a "side show" and that they are glad to see the stock market rise and their retirement savings increase.

CNN aired footage Friday morning of correspondent Jason Carroll speaking with registered Democrats in Pennsylvania praising Trump for improving the economy and looking out for their savings.

Eileen and Richard Sorokas supported former President Barack Obama during both elections, but then switched over and supported Trump because of his promises to improve the economy.

"We've got to get the politically correct things out of here and get a business man and get this country straightened out, get the deficit down," said Richard Sorokas shortly after Trump's inauguration.

"Our retirement is in the stock market and the stock market has been growing for quite a while now, so I'm sort of happy what's happening with the economy," Sorokas said. He also told CNN he thought the focus on Michael Cohen and Paul Manafort's legal issues is a "side show."

They were obviously hoping for a very different reaction.
