CNN Kate Bolduan got into a fight with Eric Schmitt over Trump’s speeches in the media

CNN anchor Keith Bolduan asked Scott Jennings speak out about the ex-president Donald Trump joke about a would-be assassin having to “shoot through” the media, and Jennings said he “didn’t like it” but not because of the threat to the press.

There are only a few hours left until Election Day, and the main storyline is this: bomb Des Moines Register vote featuring the vice president Kamala Harris leads Trump in Iowa, but Trump’s rally antics always make headlines.

For example, Trump told the approving crowd at a rally in Lititz, Pennsylvania, that “to catch me, someone would have to scroll through the fake news. And I’m not really against it.”

On Monday version from CNN News CenterJennings responded by berating Trump, not for joking about reporters being shot, but for raising the specter of another assassination attempt on Trump, adding, “He was the one who got shot, not me.”

BOLDWAN: But let’s play this or that. In terms of Donald Trump and something darker – the dark rhetoric – the angry rhetoric that we’ve been hearing in the last couple of days, what do you think is more dangerous politically and maybe just literally?

And he is already fueling fears about election fraud in Pennsylvania, literally suggesting already at the rally that people are already cheating in Pennsylvania without any basis. And here it is.

DONALD TRUMP, (R) PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: You have this piece of glass, but all we have here is fake news, right? And to catch me, someone will have to shoot down fake news, and I don’t really mind that because… I don’t mind. I’m not against it.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

BOLDWAN: This or that?

JENNINGS: Regarding voter registration, there is an ongoing investigation…

BOLDWAN: Uh-huh.

JENNINGS: About some fraudulent voter registration. In Arizona, apparently, something similar is happening too.

BOLDWAN: Voter registration, which has nothing to do with the ballot.

JENNINGS: I know, but what he’s saying has some backing up and…

BOLDWAN: No, but his argument was also why they are extending the hours when the GOP was the one that filed the bid to extend the hours in Bucks County.

JENNINGS: Well, but… yeah, but the Republicans tried to vote there. I mean… I mean, their… I mean, did the RNC win this?

BOLDWAN: He’s angry that they’re extending the hours.

JENNINGS: Well, I know. But I’m saying there was a reason the RNC went to court to –

BOLDWAN: I understand that too.

JENNINGS: Look, the reality is that several things happened. But this does not necessarily mean, and we should not assume, that there will not be free and fair elections. I believe this country will have free and fair elections. So – and I hope we get the count quickly enough that it doesn’t undermine confidence.

And in another matter I will be honest. I don’t like it because I’ve been very critical of people who I thought were inciting or saying things that could incite violence against Donald Trump himself.

BOLDWAN: Uh-huh.

JENNINGS: And so I just – I don’t like the idea – and look, maybe he feels like he can make a joke about it because he’s the one who got shot. But I just don’t like this idea –

JONES: Yes.

JENNINGS: – that we’re going to raise the specter of this ever happening again because I think it was one of the worst days of this campaign when he got shot and we’re getting to something catastrophic happening in this country , a quarter of an inch.

JONES: Yes.

JENNINGS: And I just… again, he was the one who was shot, not me. But I just… I don’t even like the idea of ​​honestly joking about it.
