CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings said that his own network was deliberately misrepresenting what Republican candidate Donald Trump said. He also asked if liberal politicians and political pundits care that what they say about the former president is “designed to radicalize.”
While on a CNN panel with Abby Phillip, Jennings talked about the Democrats’ false and misleading claims about the former GOP president, just one day after the second attempt on his life.
“It makes me wonder when I hear Democratic leaders and journalists talking about Donald Trump and their platform is based on a bunch of lies meant to radicalize a political base.” The host asked, “How much do they really care about the violence that you and I both agree is terrible?””
The second attempt to kill the former president happened at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, Florida. Trump had to be quickly taken off the course after Secret Service agents found the would-be killer hiding in the trees with an AK-style gun.
“She says over and over that Trump will be a tyrant from the first day he takes office. This is the basis of her campaign. I mean that this country fights despots. That’s our history: we fight dictators.”
Jennings went on to say that Trump’s comment about a “bloodbath” was another example of how the left takes Trump’s words out of context. Trump has made it clear more than once that the “bloodbath” he used was a metaphor for an economic disaster in the car industry, not revenge if he doesn’t win the race.

“Every Democrat who works for or with [Harris’s] campaign says it every day on this network and every other one,” he said. “Every day, people say things like bloodbath.”
After that, Jennings said that these lies were a big part of the current Democratic campaign.
“I know you’ve talked to people, had people come out, and watched the same news reports I have. This nonsense about a “bloodbath,” a “dictator,” and “remove the U.S. Constitution” is a key part of the Democratic campaign against Trump,” Jennings said.
