Last month, Kamala Harris revealed a radical left wing agenda that she would like to see considered, which included  a discussion on ''how we are thinking about the Electoral College.'' Since then, the leftwing media has for the most part stayed pretty quiet on Harris's suggestions, but a discussion broke out Monday on CNN's NewsNight with Abby Phillip. Phillip began the segment by claiming that Hillary Clinton, is reigniting a debate over how America votes. She then played a short clip from the Netflix documentary series, The American Experiment, where Clinton, who won the popular vote in 2016 but lost the Electoral College to Donald Trump laughingly says, "Well, I personally think the Electoral College is an abomination, for obvious reasons." Phillip then turned to Atlantic Contributor Jemele Hill, formerly of ESPN, who immediately cried racism. PHILLIP :This is how the system works. Doesn't mean it can't be changed, but should it be? HILL: Well, here's the thing. It's better if you make the argument when you didn't lose the election. You know what I'm saying is.... From a position of strength. Anybody who studied any small bit of history knows that Electoral College is rooted in slavery. That was the entire reason that it was invented, essentially. And we should have gotten from up under it a long time ago. And not just because you have two women quite capable who lose the election. First, these two women did not lose the presidential election because of the Electoral College. Hillary did, but Kamala Harris, lost both the Electoral College and she lost the popular vote by more than 2 million votes. But Phillip didn't bother to correct Hill, or weigh in on her outrageous statement that the Electoral College was rooted in slavery. And she didn't step in when CNN's own Ana Navarro echoed Hill's slavery nonsense.. NAVARRO: The bottom line is changing the Electoral College is something that we talk about all the time, and it's archaic, it may make no sense, it's rooted in slavery. All those things are true.  No it's not true. The Three-Fifths Compromise did address the inclusion of slaves in counting a state's total population, but that wasn't the purpose of the Electoral College, which was a compromise between having Congress select a President, and a popular vote. This 2019  New York Times Op-Ed, "The Electoral College Was Not a Pro-Slavery Ploy", which has been cited by The Heritage Foundation and others spells it all out.  And while Phillip may have had no interest in debunking what Hill and Navarro were spewing, Conservative radio host Jason Rantz attempted it: "Just to be clear, it wasn't founded because of slavery. That's just factually inaccurate. The reasons behind it had a lot to do with the size of the country and the lack of technology to actually reach everyone. That's why the Electoral College came out." Rantz was then interrupted by former New York Times columnist Charles Blow, who challenged his take, and offered a concession of sorts. BLOW: Let's take the word rooted out. But you're not going to sit here and say that it has nothing to do with slavery, which is what you just insinuated. RANTZ: I'm going to say that it had nothing to do with slavery, as if it were rooted in slavery, that's just not true. BLOW: That's not true. There was no input from Phillip on this point, who then gave the floor to Blow to rant that Rantz was uneducated, and Navarro said to Rantz "your ignorance was revealed." Rantz denied that he was arguing that slavery played no role in the compromise, he was objecting to the word "rooted," like the entire Electoral College was a racist plot.   The segment continued, but Phillip, who can be very opinionated, while also allowing radical leftist views to go unchallenged, never weighed in on what Hill or Navarro had said. She did air a clip of former GOP Sen. Jeff Flake making a case for the Electoral College. Then she went after Trump, of course, for trashing the Electoral College in 2012, and praising it after it gave him the presidency in 2016. This is CNN.
