Political pundits were sparring Thursday following the attempted assassination of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh. Cable news analysts on both sides of the aisle sold different narratives.
CNN political analyst David Gregory issued a warning about blaming the right for mob violence and not addressing their own side’s role in motivating such behavior.
Fox News Digital captured a conversation between Gregory and “New Day” host Brianna Keilar alongside CNN anchor Kasie Hunt. Gregory called the actions of the California man facing federal charges for the attempted murder of the Justice, “horrifying.”
“I mean, activism has its place, of course, speaking out has its place, but to threaten a Supreme Court justice and his family outside of his home is beyond the pale, cannot be tolerated, every politician has an obligation to stand up, condemn this and to do something about it,” said Gregory.
In recent days, it’s been reported that CNN’s President Chris Licht wants to return the network to its roots as more of a straightforward news gathering agency.
“If you want to show up at the Supreme Court and protest, maybe that’s the place to do it. That’s clearly not where Democratic leaders are right now, and I think it’s because of their base,” Hunt added.
