A former CNN reporter took to social media Sunday to talk about how she is 'haunted' by a dinner with several Donald Trump supporters who at first glance seemed 'normal.'

'They seemed great! On the surface. For like an hour ' the onetime NBC News correspondent continued, categorizing the Trump-leaning guests as 'closeted'.
