Potential Trump Running Mate Dodges Abby Phillip’s 'Real Simple Question' Over And Over
HuffPost
The CNN anchor told Byron Donalds it was "pretty extraordinary that when faced with really clear facts, very clear facts [...] you won’t acknowledge it."
CNN’s Abby Phillip on Thursday grilled Rep. Byron Donalds (R-Fla.) on the false claim that some high-profile Republicans are pushing about the FBI’s 2022 classified documents search of Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
Phillip repeatedly asked Donalds why figures on the right — including himself and Trump — had twisted the boilerplate search warrant text which authorized the use of deadly force in the raid as being some sort of “assassination attempt” on Trump that had been green-lit by President Joe Biden.
Trump himself has said Biden was “locked & loaded ready to take me out.”
“That’s just not true. Why would you say something like that?” Phillip asked Donalds, who attended Trump’s hush money trial in New York last week in a show of support for the four-times-indicted ex-POTUS.
Donalds, who is considered to be a potential running mate for presumptive GOP nominee Trump, dodged.
