As Twitchy reported on Thursday, CNN was being VERY careful about its reporting on the phrases Charlie Kirk’s assassin had etched onto the bullet casings, saying that there was a range of phrases related to “cultural issues.” Cultural issues like, “Hey fascist, catch”?
On CNN’s “Table for Five,” Juliette Kayyem, CNN senior national security analyst and former assistant secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, says she doesn’t think we know the meaning of the assassin’s message and further, “you’re not going to divine a perfect motive.”
“The point is, who cares?” Seriously?

The post continues:
It says ‘fascist, catch this.’ What are you talking about!?”
KAYYEM: “This was my point, not yours. The point is, who cares!?”

I care

What difference, at this point, does it make? Kayyem is more worried about President Donald Trump denouncing all political violence.

You can tell she doesn’t even believe what she’s saying which is why she goes to “who cares”

The point she doesn’t want to concede is: yes the left wing politicians say those words but we are just trying to manipulate and fearmonger the base so they vote for us. It works so we do it. Not our fault they’re gullible.
It’s all a game to them.

Do they realize how dumb their argument sounds here? “We don’t know the meaning of “hey fascist, catch this” ON A BULLET. @TheDemocrats are in a trash can right now.

They are trying to reframe it. Don’t let them.

She’s completely lost. “All we’re getting is this spin up,” she says, ironically.
