RICHMOND — Former Virginia attorney general Ken Cuccinelli II on Monday found himself trending on Twitter, and not in a good way, after telling CNN political commentator Symone Sanders to “shut up” on TV.

The remark came during a heated discussion about President Trump’s response to deadly violence that erupted over the weekend at a white supremacist rally in Charlottesville.

Sanders was critical of Trump for not calling out rally participants as white supremacists, neo-Nazis and Klansmen, blaming the omission on the influence of “white supremacist sympathizers” in the White House, including chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon.

Cuccinelli, a Republican though hardly a Trump cheerleader, took issue with efforts to “smear” the administration.
