CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings on Monday blamed his own network for allowing Harris’ campaign to twist former President Trump’s rhetoric in a way that was “intended to radicalize.”

Trump was rushed from the Trump International golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, last Sunday after the Secret Service spotted a gunman in the bushes.

While authorities are treating the episode as a second attempted assassination, the former president has argued that the “rhetoric” of President Biden and Vice President Harris is the reason he is being “shot.”

The day after the assassination attempt, CNN anchor Abby Phillip hosted a panel of commentators to discuss the relationship between intense rhetoric about the election and the recent attempts to assassinate Trump.

“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 lot of lies, frankly, that are designed to radicalize a political base, I wonder… How much do they really care about the violence that you and I agree is horrible?” Jennings asked.

He criticized Harris’ campaign for sowing fear about what the country would look like if Trump were to become president again.

“The basis 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 our history — we fight dictators,” he said as the panel erupted in protest that it was true.

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

He added: ‘Except on day one – we close the border, and we drill, drill, drill. After that I’m not a dictator anymore.’

“‘There’s going to be a bloodbath,’” Jennings said in another example of how Trump was taken out of context when he predicted an economic “bloodbath” for the auto industry if President Biden won.

During last week’s presidential debate, Harris said, “Donald Trump, the candidate, has said that there will be a bloodbath in this election if the outcome of the election doesn’t go his way.”

“It’s said every day by every Democrat working for or around the (Harris) campaign, on this network and every other network,” Jennings said.

“The carnage is repeated every day.”

“By using the word ‘massacre’ when talking about auto manufacturing jobs in the United States, Vice President Harris incorrectly and unfairly misinterpreted what he said as a massacre if he were elected,” Phillip confirmed, but clarified, “She did not say there would be a massacre if Trump were elected.”

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

“I know you’ve interviewed people and had people here and watched the same coverage that I did. The ‘massacre’ stuff, it’s a pillar of the Democratic campaign against Trump, just like ‘dictator,’ just like ‘eliminate the United States Constitution,’” Jennings said.
