CNN GOP-er Gets Anchor To Admit Kamala Is Lying About Trump ‘Bloodbath’ Comments

During a recent appearance on CNN, GOP pundit Scott Jennings got anchor Abby Phillip to admit that Vice President Kamala Harris has repeatedly mischaracterized and lied about a comment made months ago by former President Donald Trump.

Trump had been talking about the potential economic impact — particularly with regard to the automobile industry — of a second term under President Joe Biden, when he warned that there would be “a bloodbath” if he lost. Despite the fact that he was clearly referring to the loss of American jobs and income, the Biden-Harris administration — along with dozens of others in the media — immediately claimed that he was calling for political violence, a literal “bloodbath,” if he lost the 2024 election.

In the wake of a second assassination attempt on Trump, Jennings argued that it was past time to call out those who were still perpetuating lies about that statement.

“It is said by every Democrat working for or around her campaign, every day on this network and every other one!” Jennings began. “The ‘bloodbath’ thing is stated every single day. But my point is, ‘dictator,’ ‘bloodbath,’ ‘eliminate the Constitution,’ what do you think that does to people?”

Phillip tried to interrupt, saying that she’d like to clear things up for everyone: “You’re referring to Trump’s use of the word ‘bloodbath’ when he was talking —”

“And what was he talking about?” Jennings asked, interrupting.

“I’m going to explain it to people, because I think there’s confusion about this,” Phillip continued. “The use of the word ‘bloodbath’ when he was talking about, you know, vehicle manufacturing jobs in the United States. Vice President Harris improperly and unfairly mischaracterized that as him saying there would be a bloodbath if she were elected. However, she did not say that if Trump were elected there would be a bloodbath, she did not say that.”

Jennings pressed the point further, saying, “I know you have interviewed and have had people out here and have watched the same coverage I have. The ‘bloodbath’ garbage is an – it is a pillar of the Democratic campaign against Trump, as is ‘dictator,’ as is ‘eliminate the U.S. Constitution.'”
