CNN guest fact-checks Wolf Blitzer in real time for pushing Biden narrative about Trump';s words: ';I listened to the tape';

Republican Scott Jennings called out CNN anchor Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday for taking Donald Trump';s remarks about immigrants out of context.On Tuesday‚ the Biden campaign posted a seven-second clip of remarks Trump made during a stop in Michigan‚ ripping the comments out of their context to misrepresent what Trump was saying. The campaign made it appear as if Trump had described all immigrants as ";animals."; (@) Blitzer then took the Biden campaign';s narrative about the remarks and asked Jennings whether Americans are becoming ";desensitized"; to Trump';s ";brutal‚ incendiary rhetoric"; about immigrants.";Isn';t that brutal? Shouldn';t people be condemning that?"; Blitzer asked.Jennings not only answered the question‚ but he informed Blitzer that he was misrepresenting Trump';s remarks.";I listened to the entire tape. He was specifically talking about the person who murdered Laken Riley in Georgia‚"; Jennings pointed out.";And to be honest with you‚ Wolf‚ if somebody murders another human being‚ I think they deserve to be called ';animals‚'; and I don';t think any American is really going to reject that kind of rhetoric‚"; he added. ";That poor girl was murdered in cold blood. Is that person who did it not an animal? I think that';s an apt term.";But for some reason‚ Blitzer could not wrap his head around the idea that Trump was not condemning all immigrants.";You think he was only referring to those murderers‚ not referring in general to illegal immigrants who are coming into the United States?"; the CNN anchor followed up.";I listened to the tape. That';s exactly what he was talking about‚"; Jennings confirmed.Trump‚ indeed‚ was referring to the Venezuelan immigrant accused of killing Laken Riley not all immigrants.But Blitzer didn';t know that‚ nor did CNN';s audience‚ because CNN producers spliced together several cuts of Trump';s remarks to misrepresent what he was saying.Here is what Trump said:The 22-year-old nursing student in Georgia who was barbarously murdered by an illegal alien animal. The Democrats say ";please dont call them animals. Theyre humans."; I said no‚ theyre not humans. They';re not humans. Theyre animals. Nancy Pelosi told me‚ ";Please don';t use the word ';animals‚'; sir‚ when you';re talking about these people."; I said‚ ";I';ll use the word ';animal'; because that';s what they are."; (@) Like Blaze News?
