This past Sunday, former President Donald Trump was the victim of yet another assassination attempt while playing golf at Trump International in West Palm Beach, Florida.
The Secret Service was able to thwart the attempt after finding a man with a gun hidden in the bushes near the golf course. The suspect was eventually arrested and is currently in custody.
Republicans, including Donald Trump, were quick to blame the Left for their hateful rhetoric that they believe has caused these assassination attempts. Rhetoric like, calling Trump Hitler, a threat to democracy, or a literal danger to this nation.
Ever since Donald Trump arrived on the political scene ahead of the 2016 presidential election, he’s been a victim of this hateful vitriol that has been spewed out of the Left-leaning media’s mouth. CNN, for example, is one of the main players involved in constantly lobbing attacks against the former president.
But one CNN political commentator has had enough and has decided to speak out against his own network.
CNN’s Scott Jennings Sets The Record Straight On Network’s Trump Attacks
In the wake of the second assassination attempt on Trump’s life, Abby Phillip, a host for CNN, held a panel on the news outlet to discuss rhetoric regarding Donald Trump and whether that plays a role in people trying to end his life.
Scott Jennings, a Republican who works as a senior political commentator for CNN, didn’t hold back in his thoughts during the panel, saying, “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, it makes me wonder…How much do they really care about the violence that you and I both agree is terrible?”
He then used Kamala Harris’s campaign as an example of an organization working hard to convince voters that Donald Trump is some evil dictator. “The underpinning of her campaign, I mean, she repeats it herself, ‘Trump will be a dictator on day one.’ I mean, this country fights dictators. That’s what our history – we fight dictators,” Jennings said as the rest of his CNN coworkers on the panel tried to refute his claims.
Jennings then brought up the instance when Donald Trump’s words were taken out of context when he said that there would be an economic “bloodbath” if President Joe Biden won the election. “It is said by every Democrat working for or around [Harris’] campaign every day on this network and every other on. The bloodbath thing is stated every single day,” Jennings said. During the most recent presidential debate, Kamala Harris took the remark made by Trump out of context as well, when she said that “Donald Trump, the candidate, has said, in this election, there will be a bloodbath if the outcome of this election is not to his liking.”
“I know you have interviewed and had people out here and have watched the same coverage I have. The ‘bloodbath’ garbage, it is a pillar of the Democratic campaign against Trump, as is ‘dictator,’ as is ‘eliminate the U.S. Constitution,'” Jennings angrily added to emphasize his point.

Democrat Attacks On Trump Based Around Lies
Former President Trump is by far not a perfect candidate. No one is. But instead of attacking him on his actual weaknesses, the Left results to ad hominem attacks or taking his words out of context in order to lie to Americans about what he believes and stands for.
Sure, lying about a candidate has been a political tactic for hundreds of years. But what the modern day Democrat Party is doing today, is lying in a way that stokes violence in those who truly believe that Donald Trump is a threat to democracy, an idea that has been planted in their heads by prominent Democrats and the mainstream media.
And while it may not be the intent of Leftist individuals and media outlets – like CNN – to encourage violence against the former president, their actions certainly have consequences, and Scott Jennings was brave enough to call them out on it.
This principle goes for all political parties. Referring to your political opponent as “literally Hitler” or a “threat” will eventually trigger some radical individual to do something about the so-called threat.
What do you think? Should Democrats and news outlets like CNN work harder to tone down their rhetoric? As always, be sure to let us know in the comments below!
They’re not going to stop their anti trump rhetoric or lies, and they are going to continue suppressing “selective” news from the public that they think might hurt their candidates politically. It’s a shame because they are fueling a lot of anger and violence, however, I believe that they’re goal is to incite civil unrest for political purposes.
totally agree. I get so mad that people are so blind to their lies.
Just like when you are in a relationship with the opposite sex, the person who is accusing you of cheating on them , they’re the ones who are cheating. It’s the accuser who is doing what they are accusing you of. In this case, the democrats are the ones who are hell-bent on destroying America. They will be the Hitler wannabees. They are already proving that they emulate Hitler, Stalin, Zedong, Marx, Castro, etc. If they are elected, conservatives will be rounded up in the same way Hitler did in WWII. Harris, Walz, and others have openly admitted that they are socialists. The only difference between socialism and communism is that the citizens are unarmed. And, read the book of Revelation. It clearly talks about everything going on in America today. God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah for everything America is doing. Leftists and the MSM are all doing the devil’s bidding.
Thank you, Scott Jenninings! A man with a voice for truth.
I think the Democrats are so afraid of losing, they’ll invent anything and everything to stop him.
They should stop and listen to themselves because they are the ones who try and instill those thoughts in everybody. If anybody is a Hitler, it’s them because they are trying to be the “one and only to hold power.
This is an example of suppression of FREE SPEECH that Democrats will enact if they win the next election! Socialism at its best!
