A CNN panel broke out into a fiery debate as pundits tried to understand Trump’s comments about his upcoming speech.
During a panel discussion hosted by CNN anchor Abby Phillip, conservative pundit and former Republican New York City Council member Joe Borelli spoke about Trump’s announcement that he would give a speech about election security on Thursday. However, Borelli was more concerned with the assumption that Trump would make false statements about elections during that upcoming speech.
“Why are we presupposing that whatever the president says, whether it’s evidence or it’s opinion or there’s some new evidence that a foreign government tried to hack our elections, why are we presupposing what the [Department of Justice], what the president, what the White House is saying is false?” Borelli asked. “There’s a reason that we’re at a big news program here, prejudging.”
Democratic strategist Ashley Allison interrupted Borelli to tell him, “I’m prejudging” because “people have looked and they have found no evidence” of the kind of election interference that Trump has claimed happened, which includes rigged elections.
“We’re actually reading facts,” Allison went on. She also became frustrated and raised her voice as Borelli shot back, “You have no idea what he’s going to say” on Thursday, and “you already decided it’s false.”
Allison yelled, “He told us!” as she countered that Trump made it clear what he would say. As Borelli repeated, “You decided” before Trump spoke, she shouted, “No! Oh my god,” and then asked, “Can you hear?”
However, when Borelli mentioned the possibility of Trump planning to reveal evidence about the 2020 election on Thursday, Phillip was curious, asking, “What evidence is he going to present about the election that he lost?”
