CNN correspondent scolds Trump over first words said immediately after being shot



A CNN correspondent is being raked over the coals for scolding former President Donald Trump over the first words he uttered seconds after being shot during an assassination attempt at his campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

The would-be assassin fired as many as eight shots toward Trump from his AR-15-style rifle while in a prone position on the roof of a building roughly 400 feet from the rally stage. The spray of bullets killed a firefighter in attendance, critically injured two spectators, and nicked Trump in his ear.

After Trump realized he had been shot in the ear, he dropped to the ground, and Secret Service agents rushed to shield the former president. Seconds later, Secret Service agents were notified that the gunman had been neutralized and attempted to rush Trump off the stage. However, Trump instructed them to wait, looked at the crowd with blood on his face, pumped his fist, and yelled: "Fight! Fight! Fight!"

Trump was then ushered off the stage as the crowd chanted "U-S-A!"

However, CNN special correspondent Jamie Gangel criticized Trump for his reaction that occurred within 80 seconds after being shot in the ear.

"I do want to say there was one thing that, when I watched the tape, I found odd because of all of the heated rhetoric, and that is after he was hit, former President Trump got up and said, ‘fight, fight, fight,’" Gangel said.

Gangel added, "I think what we’re hearing from people is that’s not the message that we want to be sending right now. We want to tamp it down."

The CNN correspondent was lambasted on social media for criticizing a man who had just been a victim of an assassination attempt.

Talk show host Megyn Kelly: "The man was bleeding from a bullet wound to his head. WTF is wrong with you @jamiegangel? In any event it was the most inspirational 'FIGHT' many people have ever seen or heard. The fact that you heard it as you did shows how badly you’ve lost the thread."

Donald Trump Jr.: "Someone attempted to assassinate my father tonight and this is what CNN is focused on. These people are vile."

Gun rights activist Dana Loesch: "Your network and colleagues should do a self-check on rhetoric."

Talk radio host Erick Erickson: "This is why there must be media accountability. CNN’s Jamie Gangel is upset that 30 seconds after Trump got shot he wasn’t lecturing his crowd. Unbelievable. Victim shaming."

Former Trump speechwriter Darren J. Beattie: "Media is the enemy of the people. It's very unfortunate that they feel comfortable talking like this."

Reporter Megan Basham: "Unbelievable. CNN right now criticizing Trump for telling his supporters to fight only seconds after he was shot by a would-be assassin. Tsk tsk’ing that it wasn’t the right tone to take."

Author Jim Hanson: "What a foul wretch. CNN is a cancer."

Another CNN personality also tried to blame Trump's criticisms of Biden as a cause of the rise in extreme rhetoric that led to an assassination attempt on former President Trump.

Scott Jennings – a Republican strategist and contributor to CNN – explained during an appearance on the cable news network that the failed assassination attempt stemmed from the nonstop fearmongering that Trump being elected again would be the end of the United States as we know it.

"The rhetoric around him over the last few weeks that if he wins an election, our country will end, our democracy will end, it’s the last election we'll ever have. These things have consequences, okay? I don’t know what the motivations of the shooter are. I don’t know any of the details, but I know the rhetoric around Trump has grown extreme," Jennings began.

"We have people in this country who are dedicated to telling half the country that if Donald Trump wins an election, the country will end, the Constitution will go away, and so on and so forth," Jennings stated. "What I want to hear from all elected officials is this kind of hyperbolic extremism has consequences, and it must end. Yes, we’re all shocked, and yes, political violence has no place. Where does it come from? It’s got to stop."

CNN host Wolf Blitzer attempted to make a "both sides" argument and replied, "But we’re also hearing from Trump very, very strong statements of condemnation of Biden, the worst president, the most dangerous president, and all of that. He’s speaking very, very strongly against President Biden."

Jennings fired back, "Who’s in the hospital?"

Blitzer maintained, "You say calm things down. I agree both sides should calm things."

JD Vance Calmly Explains ‘Sham’ Prosecution Of Donald Trump As Wolf Blitzer Stammers

'You cannot say that this trial was anything more than politics'

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 don’t call them animals. They’re humans." I said no, they’re not humans. They're not humans. They’re 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."

Police spokesman shocks with excuse for why police waited so long to engage Uvalde killer: 'They could have been shot'



Texas DPS Lt. Chris Olivarez shocked the nation Thursday when he explained why police officers were reluctant to immediately enter Robb Elementary School and engage the teenage gunman who was inside slaughtering children and teachers.

During an interview on CNN's "The Situation Room," anchor Wolf Blitzer asked Olivarez about the protocol for engaging an active shooter, which apparently was not followed in Uvalde.

"Don't current best practices, lieutenant, call for officers to disable a shooter as quickly as possible regardless of how many officers are actually on site?" Blitzer asked.

Olivarez's response understandably raised eyebrows, because he emphasized that the situation was dangerous for responding police officers.

"Correct," Olivarez responded. "The active shooter situation, you want to stop the killing. You want to preserve life."

"But also one thing that, of course, the American people need to understand is that officers are making entry into this building. They do not know where the gunman is," he continued. "They are hearing gunshots, they are receiving gunshots. At that point, if they proceeded any further not knowing where this suspect was at, they could have been shot — they could have been killed. And at that point, that gunman would have the opportunity to kill other people inside that school."

"So they were able to contain that gunman inside that classroom so that he was not able to go to any other portions of the school to commit any other killings," Olivarez added.

According to Olivarez, three police officers initially entered the building through the same entrance as the gunman, while four officers made entry through a separate doorway. Upon entering, the officers were "taking gunfire" and requested backup.

However, it was only "at that time" that the Border Patrol tactical officer who is credited with neutralizing the gunman arrived on the scene and entered the classroom where the gunman had barricaded himself.

Still, significant questions remain unanswered, and outrage is mounting over what appears to be a weak law enforcement response.

The gunman was apparently in the school for up to an hour before police engaged him, he entered the school unobstructed, and he even fired shots outside the school building for 12 minutes before entering, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Meanwhile, viral video shows how concerned parents who rushed to the school angrily pleaded with police to enter the school building, stop the gunman, and save their children and other innocent lives inside. Instead, at least one parent was detained and others were subdued by police, the Journal reported.
