Former Virginia Attorney General and founder of the DeSantis-aligned Super PAC Never Back Down, Ken Cuccinelli confronted CNN's State of the Union fill-in anchor for deceptively editing comments made by Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis during an interview with the Florida Standard to make it seem like he called Trump supporters "listless vessels." Regardless of whom you support for the Republican nomination, everyone should be outraged at the media lying about one of the Republican candidates.
Setting up the dishonest clip, Hunt insisted "There was a pretty interesting moment in a recent interview where Governor DeSantis talked about Trump supporters. He used the words listless vessels."
Cuccinelli jumped in to correct her: "He wasn’t talking about Trump supporters!"
...
In response to Hunt's dishonesty, Cuccinelli pointed out her editing trick: "Everybody just saw there that there was a cut. You cut from the beginning of that quote to the listless vessels. You just did what the problem is. So everyone who just watched that, understand, go read the transcript."

Evidence, please. We're still waiting for the Kraken.
Perhaps you think Biden actually had 81 million votes cast for him legitimately too? You'll have to turn up the volume yourself.
SMDHAS
Claiming Trump said something he didn’t actually say, which was clear because I read Trump’s whole statement.
A demonicrat type of lie.
It clearly does not. There is only one thing he meant when he referred to the “listless vessels that are just supposed to follow what happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning”.
Fraud denial.
Opus?
CNN wants Trump to win the nomination because they accurately reported on DeSantis’s comments? That’s a pretty flimsy inference you’re making there, but even if it were true, what makes you think CNN has some great insight into who would do better against Biden in the general election?
News flash. CNN has been wrong been wrong in the past. In fact they’ve rarely been right. But you want Republicans to nominate DeSantis over Trump on the basis that CNN supposedly believes DeSantis would do better against Biden than Trump? You’re really running out of arguments for DeSantis if you have to resort to that.
“In the general, tehy’ll savage him, but for now, they’re his buddies.”
“they’re his buddies”???
Only a deranged DeSantis supporter could convince himself of such complete nonsense.
Whenever I can catch Steve Bannon, he is always showing clips of a CNN newscast where they express seething hatred of Donald Trump using their twisted lies and reasoning.
And if they thought Biden could beat Trump in a general election (nobody actually believes that, which is why Biden will not be their candidate next year) they would not be savaging Trump 24/7.
Then stop replying to us.
Not only no, but heck no. Freedom of speech works both ways.
Cool story bro.
Freedom of speech doesn’t apply here. Not a government web site.
Okay, I provided you with evidence of election irregularities that sure look like election theft from were I stand. At the very least it needs to be looked at in-depth, which has neve happened. Out of all the cases brought to court, only 3 were ever heard. Trump won 2 of those cases & lost 1. The remainder were never adjudicated because the judges ruled that the plaintive in those cases had no standing. Because the Uni-party & their supporters, do not want some Americans to have a say whatsoever in their country.
Now, if you will kindly show me the evidence that this was a perfectly safe secure & honest election. Also, explain why it is, that if it was a perfectly safe secure and honest election, that they are so worried about addressing what transpired with a real & honest investigation into the 2020 election. I never remember any Democrat being charged for challenging the results of an election. Clinton railed on for years about how the 2016 election was stolen from her.
If J6 was a true insurrection, why is it that they are afraid to show the video from the Capitol on that day? They allowed Tucker to see some, & his conclusion from the tapes he reviewed, that many of the people who entered the Capital, were allowed in by Capitol police, who did absolutely nothing wrong. In fact, why won't they answer the question as to how many Federal Agents were present at the Capital on J6? If there were none, all they had to say is there were no Federal Agents present, but that is not what they said. They said we can't discuss that. You see, they were under oath, so they couldn't lie because they were not willing to lie under oath. Who is Ray Epps, and why was he never arrested & charged for inciting people to illegally enter the Capital? Why were those who entered the Capital to do much worse when Justice Kavanaugh was in his confirmation process? Why were they not arrested, and why was that not labeled as an insurrection?
You had better wake up, because if you think that you will escape what's coming, you're wrong.
But by all means, until then keep being the little snarky person that you are. Because that is the true you, and everyone should see the true you.
BTW, a government that has something to hide, is not the government you should trust. The fact that you do, speaks volumes about you. The fact that this government acts like the Soviet Union, and you do not object, speaks even louder about you and who you really are.
That right was not provided to me, and the rest of the citizens of this nation, by the government.
As far as I know, I have broken no guidelines at this site either. This is a discussion board, and I have discussed, why we respond to the insults you try to toss at us.
Apparently, you think everything is normal, and that this is just another normal election cycle. How wrong you are, and how sad it is that you can't see that reality for yourself.
I guess you will have to see for yourself, just how far down the road this nation is to being lost forever, unless we unite, instead of fight each other.
None of these clowns running for the presidency are going to get this nation back on a positive course, because they all want to follow what is the "norm", and that is exactly why we are at this point in the first place. Only DJT will fight the corruption.
Dismiss the election fraud & the thefts of several elections now at the peril of every patriot & this nation itself.
I’m amazed by the assumptions and leaps that you make. Stick to talking about yourself and not trying to define others it’ll help you immensely in life have a good day
I’m not amused at the stupidity you exhibit with your posts. We can keep this up all day long if that’s what you want.
Nope. I know who you are now. We’ve done this dance before. Guess you got zolted.
Like everything else you comment on, you are wrong.
Though I must confess that I'm not sure what exactly zolted actually is.
Did you mean zooted (the slang term for getting drunk or intoxicated; stoned; zonked)? The answer would be: I don't drink or do drugs, anymore. I'm way past my experimental age, though I admit that the drugs were far more entertaining than the drinking ever was for me.
Did you mean zotted? The act that Viking Kitties do? Nope, never had that happen to me either.
The funny thing is, is that they are kind of proving the point they are protesting. If Trump says anything, they have to pretend it is genius just because he said it. If he takes an action, it is genius just because he did it. I can understand why they like Trump, I just don’t get why they have to deny reality and turn him into superman. It reminds me of the early Bush years here, only on steroids.
The media is McCaining Trump. They’re going after his main rivals to make sure he gets the nomination because they’re sure that he’ll lose in November.
If they succeed in getting him nominated, they’ll go back to their smars and lies about him. But for now, they’re spreading his propaganda.
