CNN’s David Axelrod thought he had conservative Scott Jennings trapped in a corner during a heated debate about crime in Washington D.C. The former Obama adviser clearly believed he could embarrass Jennings by questioning Trump’s decision to send National Guard troops to the nation’s capital. Boy, was he wrong.
Axelrod tried to make it seem like D.C. was being unfairly targeted while other cities were somehow safer. This is the same tired playbook we see from liberal media figures every single day. They think they can twist facts and nobody will call them out on their lies.
But Jennings was ready with the cold, hard truth that made Axelrod squirm. He rattled off real crime statistics that completely destroyed the liberal narrative. Memphis, Tennessee tops the list for violent crime, followed by Cleveland, Ohio and Toledo, Ohio.
The look on Axelrod’s face must have been priceless when those facts hit the table. These are the same Democrats who spent years telling us that crime wasn’t really a problem in their cities. Now they’re scrambling to explain why their policies have failed so badly.
This is exactly why Americans don’t trust the mainstream media anymore. They try to play gotcha games with conservatives but end up getting schooled on basic facts. Jennings showed exactly how to handle these biased talking heads.
Trump’s decision to deploy National Guard troops in D.C. makes perfect sense when you look at the real crime numbers. While Democrats worry about politics, our President worries about keeping Americans safe. That’s the difference between real leadership and empty talking points.
CNN probably wished they could cut away from this embarrassing moment for their liberal guest. But the damage was already done and millions of viewers saw exactly what happened. The truth has a way of cutting through all the media spin.
This is what happens when conservative voices get a fair chance to speak on these networks. The facts are on our side and no amount of liberal manipulation can change that reality.
