A leftist CNN contributor dedicated one of many worst blunders in latest tv historical past on Saturday whereas trying to fact-check Scott Jennings and critique President Trump concerning a historic peace settlement signed between two African nations.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump proudly introduced a US-brokered peace settlement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo on Friday.
After three many years of conflict, the 2 nations agreed to a historic peace deal because of Trump. He celebrated the peace settlement within the Oval Workplace earlier than getting testy with a reporter who requested a query about Canada.
Jennings was thrilled about this accomplishment, together with many others, by President Trump this week. This didn’t sit properly with CNN contributor Cari Champion, who was a panelist alongside Jennings on CNN’s “Desk for 5.”
She warned Jennings that he was leaping the gun on the peace deal, repeatedly saying, “It’s not finished! It’s not finished!”
How does one go on TV and make such a remark when the reality is so obvious?
Jennings, who truly pays consideration to present occasions, then helpfully knowledgeable Champion that the peace settlement was certainly signed and sealed. Then, issues obtained worse for her.
Champion subsequent tried to assault Trump by saying that he tends to announce issues too quickly whereas making an attempt to get Jennings to agree together with her. However CNN’s lone voice of sanity once more calmly said that each one events had been current on the White Home for the settlement, and mocked Champion for not bothering to look at the information.
Not solely did Champion don’t have any clue what occurred with Rwanda and the Congo earlier than opening her mouth, however she remained oblivious even after Jennings broke the information to her!
That is dangerous even for CNN.
