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

Trump was pulled from the Trump International golf course in West Palm Beach, Florida, on Sunday after the Secret Service discovered a gunman in the bushes. While authorities are treating the incident as a second apparent assassination attempt, the former president has argued that the “rhetoric” of President Biden and Vice President Harris is the reason he is being “shot at.”

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.

CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings blamed several sources, including his own network, for taking Trump’s rhetoric completely out of context.

“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 based 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 horrific?” 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 town hall with Sean Hannity in December 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.”

“‘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 wins.

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

“It’s said every day by every Democrat that works for or around (Harris’) campaign on this network and every other network,” Jennings said. “The carnage is said every day.”

“By using the word ‘massacre’ when talking about auto manufacturing jobs in the United States, Vice President Harris made a false and dishonest statement when he said there would be 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.
