Chaos Erupts on CNN as Touré Questions Trump Shooting Incident
URGENT UPDATE: A CNN panel erupted into chaos last night as leftist commentator Touré cast doubt on the shooting incident involving former President Donald Trump during a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2022. During a discussion on the White House’s transparency regarding Trump’s health, Touré suggested Trump was not actually shot, sparking an intense debate among panel members on “CNN NewsNight.”
Touré’s controversial statement, claiming Trump “supposedly got shot in the ear” without medical confirmation, ignited a frenzy. Senior political commentator Scott Jennings reacted vehemently, demanding moderator Abby Phillip intervene. “Whoa, whoa, whoa! Uh-uh!” Jennings exclaimed, insisting on the need to correct Touré’s claims.
As tensions escalated, Touré pressed for clarification, shouting, “When did we hear from his doctors?” Phillip struggled to restore order, saying, “Hold on. If you all stop screaming at the table, maybe I can actually respond.”
This heated exchange comes just days after Ronny Jackson, former White House doctor, confirmed there was “absolutely no evidence” Trump was hit with anything but a bullet. Jackson has been closely monitoring Trump’s health since the incident, further complicating Touré’s assertions.
Panelist Adrienne Elrod initially raised concerns about the White House’s communication on Trump’s health, especially following recent photos showing discoloration on Trump’s hands and swollen ankles. “The president underwent a comprehensive examination,” Elrod stated. However, Touré’s provocative comments shifted the focus back to the shooting.
Amid the fray, Phillip attempted to clarify the facts, stating, “Touré, he was shot in the ear.” Yet Touré continued to question the absence of medical evidence, challenging Jennings to provide more context. Jennings responded, “I mean, all I know is, I went to the Republican National Convention and he had a bandage on his ear.”
The segment underscored the heightened scrutiny surrounding Trump’s health and the ongoing debates over transparency from the former administration. Viewers were left grappling with conflicting narratives as the panelists struggled to maintain composure amid Touré’s repeated interruptions.
This incident reveals deep divisions in the media regarding the portrayal of Trump and raises questions about the credibility of health claims made by public figures. As the situation develops, viewers and political analysts alike will be closely monitoring how these discussions evolve in the coming days.
Stay tuned for further updates as this story unfolds and reactions pour in from both sides of the political spectrum.
