Social media really pounced on that slimy use of words, where Phillip implied that the explosive device may have been intended for Mandani as well as the protesters, which makes no sense, but never mind: CNN got away with the Hunter Biden laptop lie, the Russian collusion lie, and the “Biden is as sharp as a tack lie,” why not keep running with this one?

While X’s readers context feature flagged the deceit…

…while others were less circumspect, like the commenter who wrote, “You are an inspiration to all people who are terrible at their jobs and never get fired.” Well put! If Phillip is an inspiration, what must the execrable Ana Navarro (of ABC’s “The View”) be, who even after Phillip was dragged for her lie, repeated it the next day on Phillip’s show?

I don’t understand how this can be happening without massive, pole to pole ideological public protest. These aren’t honest mistakes. These aren’t even mistaken opinions, These are deliberate efforts to confuse and mislead a public that is ill-informed and incapable of following complex events in order to achieve an hidden agenda. Yet even that fact, and it is a fact, can’t penetrate the fog or deception coming from a sector that we have been told all our lives not only that we can trust, but that we must rely upon to allow our nation’s democratic principles to be more than empty aspirations.
