Ken Cuccinelli bashes CNN for using edited clip of DeSantis: 'He wasn't talking about Trump supporters!'

CNN host Kasie Hunt got into an argument with Cuccinelli after she showed an edited clip of DeSantis on "State of the Union" Sunday. "There was a pretty interesting moment in a recent interview where Governor DeSantis talked about Trump supporters," Hunt said, adding that he "used the words listless vessels."

"He wasn’t talking about Trump supporters!" Cuccinelli shot back.

(desantis said) He continued, "And ultimately, a movement can't be about the personality of one individual. The movement has got to be about what are you trying to achieve on behalf of the American people? And that's got to be based in principle. Because if you're not rooted in principle, if all we are is listless vessels that are just supposed to follow whatever happens to come down the pike on Truth Social every morning, that's not going to be a durable movement."

So, we are suppose to believe the lying cuccinelli, who's trying to gaslight and fool everyone they can't believe what they heard or read?

BTW, it's actually worse. desantis says

"So there will be people who are huge Trump supporters, like in Congress, who have incredibly liberal left-wing records that is really just atrocious, and yet they're viewed by some of these folks as like, really, really good," DeSantis said.

desanctimonious says Trump supporters support other Trump supporters who support liberal and left wing ideas.

DeSantis was clearly talking about people on Truth Social. Which is very, very, few people. Very few from FR even have accounts there, much less post, from what I can tell. Raise your hand if you’re an active poster there. Ok, he was talking about you.

Loyalty is a principle too. Should the movement be based on disloyalty?

There are more people on and active on Truth Social than There are people who have ever voted for Desanctimonius. So...few? Ok...somehow we are supposed to take the few (your words) of votes that Desanctus got and apply it at a national level. Fascinating how you view numbers.

“on Truth Social”.

No, not talking about Trump supporters at all. Not a bit. Talking about a whole ‘nother group of people.

That’s the ticket!

They want way too much personal information to post there, or to even register an account.

So if Truth Social is such a small number, why is DeStupid taling about them ?

Fact is, this was DeSwamp’s “Basket of Deplorables” moment.

Expect more polling declines.

Lol....

Easily triggered by how badly desantis is failing in his campaign?

Must be, because you didn’t bother reading the article, I see.

In a general way, this guy cries out for people to base their preference in principle.

They do. They already do. The establishment cannot endure that.

The principle is to reject everyone associated with the Swamp, and that is defined as anyone in political office for more than 6 or 8 years.

He doesn’t oppose people not based in principle. He opposes people based in anti Swamp principle.
