CNN Commentator Scott Jennings Criticizes His Network For Taking Trump’s Comment Out Of Context: ‘Designed To Radicalize’

CNN’s senior political commentator Scott Jennings blamed his network Monday for allowing former President Donald Trump’s rhetoric to be mischaracterized by the Kamala Harris campaign in a way “designed to radicalize.”

Trump was escorted off the golf course Sunday at Trump International in West Palm Beach, Fla., after the Secret Service discovered a gunman in the bushes.

While authorities are treating the episode as an apparent second assassination attempt, the former president has argued that the “rhetoric” of President Biden and Vice President Harris is what is causing him to be “shot.”

The day after the assassination, CNN anchor Abby Phillip hosted a panel of commentators debating the connection between the heated rhetoric surrounding the election and the recent attempts on Trump’s life.

“I have to say, when I see what Democratic politicians say about Donald Trump, when I see what Democratic commentators say about Donald Trump, and their platform is built on a bunch of lies, frankly, that are designed to radicalize a political base , makes me wonder… How much do they really care about violence that you and I both agree is horrible?” Jennings asked.

He called Harris’ campaign out of fear of what the country would look like if Trump became president again.

“The foundation of her campaign, I mean, she repeats herself: ‘Trump will be a dictator on day one.’ I mean, this country fights dictators. This is our story – we fight dictators,” he said as the panel erupted in protest that it was true.

Here’s what we know about the assassination attempt on Trump in Florida:

News photographers used loopholes in the foliage at Trump’s West Palm Beach golf club to photograph him — a security loophole that attacker Ryan Routh exploited.

Trump joked during a town hall with Sean Hannity in December that he wouldn’t be a dictator “except day one.”

He added, “Except for the first day – we’re closing the border and drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I am not a dictator.”

“There’s going to be a bloodbath,” Jennings said as another example of Trump taking it out of context when he predicted an economic “bloodbath” for the auto industry if Biden won.

During last week’s presidential debate, Harris said, “Donald Trump, the candidate, has said that in this election, there’s going to be a bloodbath if he doesn’t like the outcome of this election.”

“It is said by every Democrat who works for or around [Harris’] campaign every day on this network and every other network,” Jennings said.

“The bleeding thing is said every day.”

“Using the word ‘bloodbath’ when he was talking about auto manufacturing jobs in the United States, Vice President Harris unfairly and unfairly characterized him as saying there would be a bloodbath if he was elected,” Phillip confirmed. , but clarified, “However, she did not say that if Trump was elected, there would be bloodshed.”

Jennings argued that these kinds of false narratives are part of the Democratic Party’s strategy.

“I know you’ve interviewed and you’ve had people here and you’ve seen the same coverage that I have. “Bloodbath” trash is a mainstay of the Democratic campaign against Trump, as is “dictator,” as well as “eliminating the US Constitution,” Jennings said.
