Analyst warns Trump's obsession will prove 'fatal' to GOP: 'Coming back to bite them'

A CNN panel on Friday argued that President Donald Trump’s repeated references to Jeffrey Epstein over the Christmas holiday have spiraled into an obsession that is now hurting him with his own political base.

Former New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said during an appearance on CNN’s “The Arena” that Trump helped create a "culture of conspiracy" that is now consuming the MAGA leader.

“This all gets back to the kind of culture of conspiracy theory that has become so prevalent,” de Blasio said.
