CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings called out contributor Maria Cardona point-blank on Thursday as she made several false accusations against President Donald Trump’s administration.
In response to a CNN/SSRS poll finding that Democrats’ favorability rating is at 28%, Cardona claimed on “CNN News Central” that Trump had “betrayed” Americans by raising the prices of groceries and gas and by taking away Medicare. Jennings scoffed at these claims and said that Cardona admitted that Democrats need to “pretend” they are not in their own party to win elections.
“The one thing that [Americans] are seeing is that Donald Trump has completely betrayed the American people and the working class voters, middle class families. They gave their support and trusted him to bring down the costs of groceries, gas and rent. He has done completely the opposite [by] taking away Medicare and Medicaid from them and that is going to be a winning message for Democrats going into the [midterm] election,” Cardona said.
“How could you unpack every lie that was just told in the last 20 seconds? I will just point out, your Democratic strategist this morning, my friend Maria said the key to winning in the midterms is for Democrats to pretend that they’re not in the Democratic Party. That ought to tell you everything you need to know about how the party’s faring today,” Jennings responded.
