Host Abby Phillip attempted to moderate but appeared to echo doubts about official medical confirmation. The piece criticizes mainstream media for downplaying the severity of the incident, highlighting how various outlets avoided directly acknowledging the assassination attempt, instead offering alternative explanations such as Trump being hit by glass or &#8220;falling&#8221; at the rally. The article suggests that the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >media intentionally avoids admitting<\/a> the truth to prevent Trump from gaining political sympathy and to avoid raising uncomfortable questions about motives behind the shooting. It emphasizes that the attack was real and serious, pointing out the tragic death of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/firefighter-loses-10-family-members-including-children-and-grandchildren-in-massive-house-fire\/\" title=\"Firefighter Loses 10 Family Members, Including Children And Grandchildren, In Massive House Fire\">volunteer fireman<\/a> during the event, and condemns the media for failing to accurately report on the incident.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings took offense to Tour&eacute; Neblett&rsquo;s claim that President Donald Trump was &ldquo;supposedly&rdquo; shot in the ear during an attempt on his life in 2024 and spoke up during a Thursday segment.<\/p>\n<p>Host Abby Phillip was moderating a discussion on &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/activists-failed-cnns-data-guru-awe-americas-response-climate-change\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a> NewsNight&rdquo; when the conversation devolved into a shouting match on all sides.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;[Trump] supposedly got shot in the ear,&rdquo; Tour&eacute; said.

Second, it would raise questions about why he was shot in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Is he speaking truth to powerful people and they want him dead? Does the far-left media machine bear some responsibility for it, after painting him as a demon who would destroy the nation?<\/p>\n<p>It&rsquo;s easier to toss out potential conspiracy theories, claiming that Trump may not have been shot at all. It was all staged to get votes. But try telling that to the family of volunteer fireman Corey Comperatore who died protecting his loved ones.<\/p>\n<p>The bullets were real. The blood was real.
