Former Virginia Attorney General and founder of the DeSantis-aligned Super PAC Never Back Down, Ken Cuccinelli confronted CNN's State of the Union fill-in anchor for deceptively editing comments made by Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis during an interview with the Florida Standard to make it seem like he called Trump supporters "listless vessels." Regardless of whom you support for the Republican nomination, everyone should be outraged at the media lying about one of the Republican candidates.
Setting up the dishonest clip, Hunt insisted "There was a pretty interesting moment in a recent interview where Governor DeSantis talked about Trump supporters. He used the words listless vessels."
Cuccinelli jumped in to correct her: "He wasn’t talking about Trump supporters!"
...
In response to Hunt's dishonesty, Cuccinelli pointed out her editing trick: "Everybody just saw there that there was a cut. You cut from the beginning of that quote to the listless vessels. You just did what the problem is. So everyone who just watched that, understand, go read the transcript."

Hmmm..... CNN wants Trump to win the nomination? I wonder why....
“He wasn’t talking about Trump supporters!”
Liar!
It can’t be said here. One side will attack you.
The first article I posted on FR 15 years ago was in support of Cuccinelli when he was local (state senator) in Virginia, running for attorney general.
I’ve seen him lying about Trump on TV and now, all in for Desantis, he continues lying... sad :-(
Why? a sellout to big donors?
My 2008 post:
“With the Democrat gains in Virginia we need true conservatives, like Ken Cuccinelli, who’ll stand up unapologetically for conservative values like Life, less taxation and limited government, 2nd Amendment and property rights, and addressing illegal immigration.”
“Hmmm..... CNN wants Trump to win the nomination? I wonder why....”
You mean, CNN tries to destroy Trump 24/7 and you come out with that stupidity? You DeSantis supporters are becoming completely unhinged.
Ken the Cooch has gone full-on deep state. Rhonda was obviously implying that Trump supporters have no brains and will do whatever he says. What a sick liar!
” CNN wants Trump to win the nomination “?????
Is that you, Karl Rove?
The long version doesn't change the meaning of what DeSantis said.
If anything it's just a more long winded version of Ron saying that the Trump movement sucks and that people who are part of it are listless vessels waiting on Truth Social for Trump to blow wind.
Cuch is full of it.
That’s easy to answer. So he can lose the general election, make crap endorsements, not have any coattails down ticket and energize the Dimocrat leftards. It’s the 2022 “Red Wave” redux.
I think you misunderstand their motive. They are completely convinced that Trump will lose, that’s why they want him to win the primaries.
DeSantis could use a little editing of his waist line. He is too chubby at such young age.
You know more than all national polls? Go look at RCP. Trump is doing better than DeSantis against Biden in polls.
Oh, I see. You can make untrue wise cracks & we are supposed to just remain silent.
While I know that is what you desire, it's not going to happen. So, you can quit your dreaming.
But it's not about Trump. It's about the actual theft of an election, that was done so clumsily that it has to be addressed. What is even worse is what has transpired since the election.
If neither of you can see that, then why the heck do you even vote? Because this is about recapturing this nation from the criminal Marxists who are trying to create a world of nothing but leaders who openly practice tyranny that promises you that you will have nothing, because they will have it all, while also promising that you will be happy. The first promise is the truth, the second promise is to placate you while they secure the first. If you believe their lies then you are even bigger idiots then I'm assuming you are. If you also think that I am just generating a bunch of hot air, then you sure are not very perceptive of what the heck is actually going on.
She understands what is going on, why can't you?
Do you honestly believe that it can't happen here? That we are so special that we are impervious to what millions of other humans have been subjected to at all times throughout the history of mankind? Think again. What made us special was the system that our founding father created, which was a first in the world history of mankind, and which there have been people who have tried to destroy since its creation.
If that is what you want, then honestly, why are you even here at FR?
This is not a popularity contest, this is a fight for this nation.
Wake up to the reality, before the reality smacks you across your face so hard you won't even know what hit you, but you will survive to find out. Getting out at that point will become very hard, and most likely impossible.
I'm so tired of you juvenile thinkers.
I think you know why.
He wasn’t. Go read the full quote and/or listen to it. Not the snippet the disinformation media wants you to hear.
Lying how?
No, CNN does not. Not these days. They’re McCaining him, goign after h/is rivals to maek sure he gets nominated because they believe him to be the most likely Republican to lose. In the general, tehy’ll savage him, but for now, they’re his buddies.
It’s kind of like the US-Soviet World War II alliance. They hated each other, but had a common enemy.
“Ken the Cooch has gone full-on deep state.”
Laughable statement. Cooch is one of the most conservative, anti-Establishment people around.
“Rhonda was obviously implying that Trump supporters have no brains and will do whatever he says.”
Tell me you didn’t hear what he said without telling me you didn’t hear what he said. Yopu want to believe hte lies becuase it serves your candidate.
Your claim is completely false.
“Rhonda.” Soooooooo clever Did you think of it yourself?
It clearly does. Tr actuaLLY LISTENING.
