Leftist CNN Contributor Commits a Blunder for the Ages While Trying to Fact-Check Scott Jennings and Attack President Trump (VIDEO)
A leftist CNN contributor committed one of the worst blunders in recent television history on Saturday while attempting to fact-check Scott Jennings and critique President Trump regarding a historic peace agreement signed between two African countries.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, President Trump proudly announced a US-brokered peace agreement between Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo on Friday.
After three decades of war, the two countries agreed to a historic peace deal thanks to Trump. He celebrated the peace agreement in the Oval Office before getting testy with a reporter who asked a question about Canada.
Jennings was thrilled about this accomplishment, along with many others, by President Trump this week. This did not sit well with CNN contributor Cari Champion, who was a panelist alongside Jennings on CNN’s “Table for Five.”
She warned Jennings that he was jumping the gun on the peace deal, repeatedly saying, “It’s not done! It’s not done!”
How does one go on TV and make such a comment when the truth is so apparent?
Jennings, who actually pays attention to current events, then helpfully informed Champion that the peace agreement was indeed signed and sealed. Then, things got worse for her.
Champion next tried to attack Trump by saying that he tends to announce things too soon while trying to get Jennings to agree with her. But CNN’s lone voice of sanity again calmly stated that all parties were present at the White House for the agreement, and mocked Champion for not bothering to watch the news.
Not only did Champion have no clue what happened with Rwanda and the Congo before opening her mouth, but she remained oblivious even after Jennings broke the news to her!
This is bad even for CNN.

“It’s not done! It’s not done!”
JENNINGS: “You didn’t watch the news yesterday. They literally announced it in the Oval Office.”

CHAMPION: “Let me ask you a question…”
JENNINGS: “Literally in the Oval Office. Friday afternoon.”
CHAMPION: “You said something earlier…He (Trump) does announce things before – it’s too soon.”
JENNINGS: “They literally had the countries in there. I feel like you should watch the news before you come out here.”
