‘Shark Tank’ Guy Rages That Trump’s ‘Porn Star Case’ Is Hurting the ‘American Brand’
Shark Tank star Kevin O’Leary flew off the handle on Thursday over Donald Trump’s hush-money criminal trial, claiming that it “hurts the American brand” to “go after the office of the president with porn star cases” because former presidents should be given “a broad swath of latitude.”
A Canadian investor who became a household name for portraying a “shark” on a business reality TV show, O’Leary has been an outspoken critic of the criminal and civil cases against Trump, especially in New York. Besides claiming that he’ll never invest in the “loser” state again due to his disgust over Trump’s civil fraud ruling, he’s also called the massive $454 million fine against the ex-president an “attack on America.”
During an appearance on Fox News’ midday panel show Outnumbered, O’Leary reacted to sports talk host Stephen A. Smith claiming that the trials give “fodder” to the MAGA argument that liberals are “scared” of Trump and using the legal process to wage a political campaign against him.
