David Jolly, a former Republican congressman from Florida, stunned a CNN panel on Monday morning when he said President Donald Trump isnt intellectually qualified to be president.
When asked by CNNs Poppy Harlow whether Trump should publicly apologize if its revealed that he was wrong in accusing former President Barack Obama of wiretapping Trump Tower during the 2016 election, Jolly said that he should but he also said that an apology wouldnt mask Trumps other major shortcomings as president.
Theres a bigger issue, whether this president is intellectually qualified to be President of the United States, Jolly said.
Harlow seemed taken aback by Jollys statement. Youre saying hes not smart enough? she asked him. Thats quite a charge.
Jolly went on to explain that Trump has very little knowledge about policy, and that hes relying on cable news shows to inform him about the details of legislation hes already endorsed.
