‘FAFO!’ Anti-Trump CNN Analyst Says People Will ‘Find Out’ Very Quickly About Chaos Of Trump Years

CNN analyst Bakari Sellers said people who have forgotten the chaos of President-elect Donald Trump’s first term will “find out” about it “in the first six months.”

Going into Election Day, the expectation was that it would be a close presidential race that could take days or longer to have a decision. But once polls began to close and the results poured in, it was only a matter of hours before outlets called the race for Trump.

On Wednesday morning’s post-election special edition of CNN News Central, pro-Kamala Harris analysts like Sellers, Kate Bedingfield, and Karen Finney tried to make sense of the result — as did the network’s anchors and correspondents.

Senior political analyst Ron Brownstein said voters were making a “bet” that the chaotic things Trump foreshadowed on the trail wouldn’t actually come true — and Sellers said they would soon “FAFO”:

RON BROWNSTEIN: You know, like we said, I think, you know, when you see movement and as many places as we saw, it’s something structural. People are saying they were unhappy with the way things were going in the country economically, the border crime. They want Trump to fix it.

They were also saying many I mean, whether you’re talking about focus groups or reporters, I talked to people. There were a significant number of voters who would say when hearing the most extreme things Trump is talking about, we got through the first term and none of these things happened.

So 11% of voters who said Trump was too extreme voted for him. That is the bet they are making. So we’re going to find out.

I mean, is Robert F. Kennedy Jr. going to be in control of public health and challenging vaccine mandates in the states?

Donald Trump said in an interview with Time magazine that he believes he has the right to fire a U.S. Attorney who will not start an investigation of someone he wants to be investigated, whether there’s any evidence or not.

Mass deportation. That’s all of these. Was that. Did he mean them? And if he does, then will the voters who have said “I’m annoyed that gas and groceries are so much” stay on board. I may or may not find out.

BAKARI SELLERS: That’s my point. And that’s what I was attempting to piggyback on, what Kate was talking about, because what do they say past is prologue, right? And this man is 78 years old.

And I know that one of the reasons this election went the way that it did is because people on this referendum on Joe Biden were more fond of the Trump years on Election Day than they were of their current situation. Right? That’s kind of the larger picture.

But we have a colloquialism. It’s it’s FAFO. I’m going to let people Google that. Right?

And you’re going to find out in the first six months of what that chaos was. You know, for us on TV, it was like drinking out of a firehose. It was, it was foreign policy via tweet, right? It was what is the news story of the day? It was —

They had so many different press secretaries and so many different secretary and cabinet secretaries, and they were just running through and churning through. And we forgot what that chaos was.

RON BROWNSTEIN: The number of steps I got on the Capitol, on Capitol Hill every day trying to cover the Trump administration was thousands —

BAKARI SELLERS: And then, you know, we just we beat January 6th to a pulp, and rightfully so.
