Republican CNN Analyst Epically Fact-Checked After Blaming Democratic 'Rhetoric' For Trump Attack

After Republican CNN on-air analyst Scott Jennings seemed to blame Democrats' 'rhetoric around Donald Trump' for the attempt on his life, TikToker @Tizzyent brought receipts.

Republican political analyst Scott Jennings claimed "Democratic rhetoric" was the catalyst for the shooting at former Republican President Donald Trump's Saturday rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.

One rallygoer was killed—firefighter Corey Comperatore, age 50; two others injured—David Dutch, 57 and James Copenhaver, 74; and the presumptive GOP 2024 presidential candidate, 78, was wounded on his upper right ear. The 20-year-old gunman was shot and killed by law enforcement on scene.


During an appearance on CNN, conservative pundit Jennings said:

"I hate to say it, but the rhetoric around [Donald Trump] over the last few weeks—that if he wins an election our country will end, our democracy will end, it’s the last election we’ll ever have. These things have consequences.”

But Jennings' claim got a fact-check from TikTok political and social commentator TizzyEnt.

His TikTok—which you can watch below—went viral across multiple social media platforms.


TizzyEnt said:

"I do want to talk about something that Scott Jennings, an on-air personality at CNN, said yesterday."
"Oh, I'm sorry Scott, it's the Democrats who are inciting violence, by what, pushing dangerous rhetoric about Trump?"

TizzyEnt continued:

"I guess I see your point. Like the other day when that big time Democrat went on an interview and said 'we're starting the second American Revolution' and it will remain mainly bloodless as long as the right allows it to be."
"Oh, wait a minute..."

In his rebuttal, TizzyEnt pointed to the many times conservatives have openly called for or threatened violence.

At a MAGA rally in Ohio in March, Trump said:

"If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath for the whole country."

Trump's comments were later explained away as a reference to the auto industry.

But Trump often employs familiar rhetoric that was popular in Nazi Germany's propaganda and White supremacist, Christian nationalist groups in the United States.

Announcing his candidacy in 2015, Trump said:

"When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best.... They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists."

More recently, Trump said immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country" and said he'd "root out the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country." America First and Make America Great Again are both slogans borrowed from the Ku Klux Klan and America's White nationalist movement.

Then in the last several weeks, Project 2025 architect Kevin Roberts—president of the Christian nationalist Heritage Foundation—twice called for a "second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."

After playing video of Roberts making his threat of domestic terrorism, TizzyEnt stated:

"Yeah, no, he said the left, as long as the left allows it to be. Because that's Kevin Roberts, the president of The Heritage Foundation, the ones who wrote and created Project 2025."
"You know that 'rhetoric' that we've been spreading."

TizzyEnt continued:

"Then there's that Democrat who's running for governor in North Carolina who said this."

He then showed a clip of right-wing candidate Mark Robinson saying:

"Get mad at me if you want to—some folks need killing. It's time for somebody to say it."

TizzyEnt quipped:

"Oops, no, my bad. That's Mark Robinson, the MAGA Republican running for governor of North Carolina."
"But maybe it's all the Democrats who since this incident have been talking about how if Donald Trump had died we'd be having a Civil War and they've been almost giddy about it."

He then shared several MAGA minions' TikToks threatening violence.

Afterward, TizzyEnt said:

"Oopsie number three and that's not even all the people I saw making videos saying 'one inch difference and we'd be at war."

After remarking on how excited one of the MAGA minions seemed, TizzyEnt shared that right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones hosted an X space titled "Will the Deep State Assassinate Biden?"

People thought the TikTok was spot on calling out conservative double speak from people like Jennings in the wake of violence.

Other global denizens just shared concern for our future.

A full investigation into the shooting at Saturday's MAGA rally hasn't been completed.

Trump is expected to attend the Republican National Convention taking place in Milwaukee, Wisconsin July 15-18 without issue.

Trump arrived in Wisconsin on Sunday.

Awkward Typo In Elon Musk's Bizarre 'Education Department' Trump Meme Is A Total Self-Own

Billionaire Elon Musk was widely mocked after he celebrated President Donald Trump's executive order to begin to dismantle the Department of Education (DOE) by posting a meme of Trump at the department's grave, only for an awkward misspelling to get all the attention.

Polling indicates that eliminating the Education Department is largely unpopular, with 60% of registered voters opposing the move, according to a Quinnipiac University survey conducted March 6-10. Support stands at 33%, with opposition particularly strong among Democrats—98% oppose it, while just 1% support it.
