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.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

People Describe The Worst 'Bonus' They've Ever Gotten At Work

Most of us have worked at one problematic workplace, with reasons ranging from toxic coworkers to terrible bosses to unlivable pay. Sometimes, it feels like a joke that the employees are even being paid at all!

But the biggest joke of all might be the end-of-year bonus, or lack thereof. They're at times so laughable, they take the cake for horrible work conditions, or are quite literally, a slice of cake.
