Trump spares turkeys — but not his political opponents — at annual pardoning ceremony

AP News WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump didn't bring much holiday cheer Tuesday when bestowing ceremonial pardons on two Thanksgiving turkeys, dispensing more insults than goodwill at the traditional White House ritual.

He joked about sending the turkeys to an infamous prison in El Salvador that has been used to house migrants deported from the United States. He said the birds should be named Chuck and Nancy — after Democratic stalwarts Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi — but “I would never pardon those people.”

The Volunteers took 29 fouls shots, making 23 of them. Houston was 8 of 11.

Sampson frequently returned to the topic during the postgame news conference.

“I’m not saying we weren’t fouling, but they were, too,” Sampson said. “Both teams were playing aggressive, tough defense. Boom, boom, boom, boom. Shouldn’t have been 29 to 11.”
