It's another day that ends in Y, so CNN is trying to drum up another controversy to attack Donald Trump.
The "news" outlet aired a clip of Trump at a Pennsylvania rally, obviously jokingly, saying that he wouldn't mind a bullet shooting through the “fake news” reporters in the crowd.
No reasonable person would have thought he actually wanted reporters to get shot.
But CNN is not a reasonable place - they are the comms department for the Democratic Party and the Kamala Harris campaign.
So they did their job. CNN host Kate Bolduan asked her guest, Republican Senator Eric Schmitt, if he agreed with Trump's comments.
Just one day before the election.
Schmitt criticized CNN's “fake outrage” over Trump’s rhetoric, saying it happens because Democrat Kamala Harris’ campaign has “nothing to run on.”
“Well I just think it’s interesting … every day, you try to create some sort of faux outrage and I understand why, because Kamala Harris has called President Trump a fascist, Joe Biden has called half of America garbage, and they have nothing to run on,” Schmitt said.
Schmitt continued, “And so every day we find something, you guys try to blow up into something that quite frankly no one takes literally. I can’t believe you spend so much time on it on the air, but I know why — because President Trump has the momentum in this race. It’s a change election cycle, President Trump by 2-to-1 margins is seen as the change candidate."
"That’s a hard reality for some people to accept, but that’s what people are focused on, not these clips that you seem to air everyday," he added.
Bolduan, loyal Democrat advocate to the bitter end, kept pushing her ridiculous question, “I’m just asking you, are you okay with [Trump] saying that, would you like him to continue to repeat that today as part of your final message?”
Schmitt replied, “It’s really interesting. So President Trump, he’s had two assassination attempts on his life and you don’t really talk about that anymore and if it were Kamala Harris, NBC Nightly News would be camped out in Butler [Pennsylvania], but it’s not convenient to humanize President Trump."
"I have spent a lot of time with him this weekend, his message is very clear: Kamala Harris broke it, we’re gonna fix it," Schmitt said. "So again, you can pull up all the clips over 4 years, or even 8 years now, the idea to try to marginalize him and his supporters has been ongoing … Every time you try to pull up a clip like this to create outrage, people see through it now, they really do."
"This is insane," he said.
It is insane.
On this election day, neither side really knows what's going to happen in the end. Understandably, each side is making their final arguments.
And one side is continuing to tell every lie they can about Donald Trump - to the very end - as they have the entire election.
