CNN panelist Bakari Sellers compared Hunter Biden and California Gov.Gavin Newsom to a weird "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"-style political pairing Saturday.Sellers said some Democrats appeared drawn to the combative posture Biden and Newsom brought to the conversation during a "Table for Five" discussion about Biden defending Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner."You had two people that were together for a particular cause, right? A singular cause," Sellers said."And I think that a lot of times people assume that Gavin Newsom ascended to the level of popularity he did because he had the same type of arrogance, egomania and Twitter presence that Donald Trump did.
And when you match him with Hunter Biden, you kind of get this really weird, like, ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.’"Abby Phillip moderates a "Table for Five" panel that discussed Hunter Biden’s defense of Maine Democratic Senate nominee Graham Platner.(Tom Williams/CQ-Roll Call, Inc via Getty Images)HUNTER BIDEN TRASHES DEMOCRATIC LEADERSHIP, HAILS GAVIN NEWSOM AS PARTY'S 'GREATEST WARRIOR'The panel discussion came after CNN aired a clip of Biden defending Platner during an interview with Newsom despite the controversies surrounding the Maine Democrat."I have not heard anything in any way that would say to me that he is an abusive, misogynistic or antisemitic or racist person," Biden said.Biden then pointed to Platner's progressive policy positions as a reason Democrats should not dismiss him."And I have heard this from Graham Platner, though, that he thinks we should all have free health care," Biden said.
"I have heard this from Graham Platner also that he thinks that we have to radically change our politics.I have heard this from Graham Platner that working people are getting screwed."Hunter Biden appeared with California Gov.
