Abby Phillip bluntly responded to a conservative pundit's misleading defense of a panelist on her show.
CNN’s Abby Phillip had a blunt response to a right-wing pundit’s defense of a misleading claim made on her show by conservative panelist Scott Jennings.
During Tuesday’s broadcast, Jennings claimed that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) insisted that efforts to investigate $9 billion worth of alleged fraud in day care facilities, particularly those catering to the state’s large Somali community, amount to “white supremacy.”
Jennings was referring to Walz’s Dec. 23 speech in which he defended himself in the wake of the scandal while also suggesting that the Trump administration’s focus on Somalis smacks of racism.
“This is what happens when they target communities for their own benefit; this is what happens when they scapegoat, and this is what happens when they no longer hide the idea of white supremacy,” Walz said.
As evidence, Walz noted that Vice President JD Vance told a Turning Point USA audience two days before that “You don’t have to apologize for being white anymore.”
