CNN panel devolves into chaos after lefty commentator suggests Trump wasn’t actually shot in the ear

Chaos erupted during a CNN panel on Thursday night when a guest suggested that President Donald Trump was not shot at the Butler campaign rally over a year ago.

In a discussion about the White House’s transparency regarding Trump’s health, leftist podcast host Touré implied that Trump wasn’t shot in the ear in front of a large crowd in Pennsylvania by an attempted assassin last year.

The statement threw the CNN “NewsNight” panel into chaos.

“He supposedly got shot in the ear. We never heard from his doctors about that,” Touré claimed, prompting CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings to urge host Abby Phillip to clarify the facts.

“Whoa, whoa, whoa! Uh-uh!” Scott replied, waving his hands. “Did you say ‘supposedly?’ Abby, Abby,” he said, turning to the host. 

As Jennings sought the moderator, Touré raised his voice and continued to press his point. 

“When did we hear from his doctors? When did we hear from his doctors?” he asked.

Phillip tried to calm the clash, stating, “Hold on. If you all stop screaming at the table, maybe I can actually respond.”

Days after the would-be assassin Thomas Crooks took shots at Trump at the July 13 rally, former White House doctor and former Trump physician Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Texas, revealed he was monitoring the-then candidate’s health and declared there was “absolutely no evidence” he was hit with “anything other than a bullet.” 

As members of the panel – which included former Harris campaign spokesperson Adrienne Elrod and conservative commentator Ben Freguson – attempted to press their points again, Phillip held them off.

“Hold on a second! Hold on a second,” she said, putting her hands up. “Touré, he was shot in the ear.”

Still, Touré wasn’t satisfied. 

“But can we hear from the doctors? We would always hear from his doctors when he gets shot?” he asked. 

Phillip punted the question to Jennings. The commentator replied, “I mean, all I know is, I went to the Republican National Convention and he had a bandage on his ear.”

As the pundit spoke, Touré kept interjecting, “That would be ‘no.’ That would be ‘no’. That would be ‘no.’” 

Meanwhile, Ferguson tried to get words in before Phillip had to shut down the conversation.

The topic started with Elrod talking about the White House releasing a statement on Trump’s health after recent photos showed discoloration on his hands and swollen ankles. 

“The president underwent a comprehensive examination, including diagnostic vascular studies, bilateral lower extremity … venous Doppler ultrasounds were performed and revealed chronic venous insufficiency, a benign and common condition, particularly in individuals over the age of 70,” Leavitt said in a press conference Thursday. 

Elrod remarked that the White House showed transparency on this topic but alleged they sometimes do not regarding Trump’s health.
