Fmr. GOP Rep Sean Duffy debuts as CNN panelist, gets jumped for ‘right wing conspiracy theories’
October 20, 2019 | Vivek Saxena

During former Republican Rep. Sean Duffy’s debut on Sunday as a CNN contributor, his left-wing colleagues accused him of peddling “completely inaccurate and factually wrong” conspiracy theories.

Ironically, this attack occurred just hours after a left-wing CNN guest peddled a blatant conspiracy theory about President Donald Trump being broke …

The accusation against Duffy was lobbed right after a panel discussion on CNN’s “State of the Union” about the Republican Party’s future. While Duffy felt that the future looked good, every other member of the CNN panel of course felt differently.

Pivoting the discussion to the ongoing impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump, CNN political contributor Amanda Carpenter argued that the president is to blame for it, not the congressional Democrats actually leading the informal inquiry.

From the article:

“So hold on a second!” Duffy interjected. “So we spent two years on a Russia investigation, right, and Democrats and the media were all about what happened in the 2016 election. What Mick Mulvaney said was Donald Trump said, ‘Let’s look and, say, let’s get the server, this is the DNC server that had everything ….'”

“This is a disputed, absurd conspiracy theory you’re talking about,” she blurted.

But that wasn’t the point, Duffy replied.

“It may be, but [Trump] says, ‘I’m investigating the 2016 election and the [Democrat National Committee] server’ … the FBI never got the server. It went to CrowdStrike, and CrowdStrike is partially owned by a …,” Duffy attempted to reply before being cut off again.

“What you’re stating is completely inaccurate and factually wrong,” Psaki shrieked. “It’s a conspiracy theory on the right-wing blogs.”

It's not a conspiracy theory that the central evidence of a crime was given to a private company rather than the FBI. Maybe in Psaki's politically connected world it's OK to withhold evidence from the FBI, but if a normal person did that they'd do jail or prison time.

Duffy was also correct that Psaki was desperately trying to deflect mention of the simple fact that Trump's main purpose was corruption in the 2016 election, specifically who "hacked" the DNC server. IOW, the fact that Trump was not targeting a Dem candidate for the Presidency.
