CNN's Jeffrey Toobin has taken the trope about not letting the door hit you on the way out an ugly step further.

On today's New Day, discussing the departure of DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, Toobin predicted that "for the rest of her life," Nielsen will be remembered as the woman who "who put children in cages . . . the woman who broke up families across the border." Declared Toobin: "You know what? They'll be right."

Concluded a pitiless Toobin: "She's going to get what she deserves."

According to Toobin, Nielsen deserves to be forever vilified because she implemented immigration policies established by then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Toobin also held out Nielsen as an example of the way in which President Trump is "the great reputation killer."

In twice declaring that Nielsen will be remembered "for the rest of her life" for putting children in cages, and that she will "get what she deserves," Toobin evokes an ancient prophet placing a curse on someone.

Here's the transcript.
