Podcast host and TikToker Leigh McGowan, known as PoliticsGirl on social media, apologized during a CNN appearance on Friday after falsely claiming President Donald Trump said Democrats should be "killed."
"I also feel like, to your point, you're saying the government, we vote for the government — they're the ones that would decide if AI gave over, if Anthropic gave over their, you know, ability to hunt us down with machines and kill us at will — and they don't happen to like us," she said.
"I am called a domestic terrorist constantly by my government," McGowan continued. "My president just stood at the State of the Union and said the Democrats are evil monsters who should be killed," she said as the panel discussed Trump announcing his plan for a federal ban on Anthropic AI.
Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei refused demands from the Department of War to use its artificial intelligence for "all lawful purposes," but Amodei said no, concerned over the possibility it could be used for "mass domestic surveillance" or "fully autonomous weapons."
"Oh, no, no, no. The president did not say that," conservative strategist Tim Parrish pushed back. "Wait a minute. You have to be accurate."
McGowan said she would be accurate and started speaking again, as CNN "Newsnight" host Abby Phillip said, "Let's give her an opportunity to correct what she said."
McGowan began, "The American government is already —"
Phillip urged her to correct the statement again.

CNN poster girl.
Oh, how AWFUL!
Chicks On The Right played that segment this morning. I could NOT believe the lie.
Maybe she WANTS to be sued by Trump...?
This is what passes for an expert on the alleged serious, middle of the road, adult channel.
The only people I know of who were labeled “domestic terrorists” by the government were conservatives as targeted by the Biden Administration.
New owners at CNN. Expect BIG changers.
Make Pronouns Unnecessary Again
She is trying to be a manipulative lying bitch. We gotta get her on the show!
She’s just as ugly as Jennifer Welch.
The sooner the better.
Jennifer (”Possum Lady”) is WAY uglier than “Pony-Tail Girl”.
EXACTLY but that was fine since we dont think the way they do so we are the enemy
I’m not sure why people are so upset. She was just trolling.
On various platforms I've seen it the other way from Lefties talking about which persons/people should be killed. Mostly from the comfort of behind their computer screen. But they would give tacit and otherwise support who would actually do it.
Careful.
Sometimes, when you troll, you hook a shark.
Fair comment.
I'm just a fan of holding everyone accountable for what they say, period. The cognitive dissonance of us justifiably hopping on anything stupid/offensive anyone on the left says, while at the same time....
Anyway, I know you get it. It's just that statements like the one made by this woman are really the only effective opportunity to make that point.
And to be clear, I'm absolutely not making the point that those kind of comments on our side should change how people vote. To me, the difference between what we offer and what they offer is gargantuan. BUT, there are other voters out there whose votes really are effected by flip statements, and that's why I worry.
Leigh McGowan = MeMe Bimbo
Even her blond hair is fake
Bolnd haired woman has brown hair bicracky.
Confucius

Charlie Kirk had no comment.
She’s a Class 1 nutcase
