'You never answered my question!' Conservative fact-checked over and over by CNN panel

CNN panelists ganged up on a conservative commentator for defending President Donald Trump's proposal to require federal workers to sign nondisclosure agreements.

The Office of Personnel Management posted a draft notice of the unprecedented order, which the administration claims is necessary to prevent “unauthorized disclosures” to the media, and anti-trans crusader Terry Schilling argued the move was both necessary and routine.

"Look, no one hasbeen betrayed or backstabbed ormaligned and lied about more than President Trump," Schilling said. "I think that'sundeniable."

Democratic strategist Antjuan Seawright, who had been bouncing impatiently in his seat and smirking, was unable to contain himself any further.

"Come on," he said in response to Schilling's claims.

"Okay, the 'Russia, Russia, Russia' collusionhoax turned out to be a totalhoax," Schilling insisted, as Seawright stared deadpan at the camera. "It was totallyexaggerated, and it was allbased on lies. We want to avoidthings that are distractions. Wewant to avoid the noise and getback to the signal."

"There are already lawsthat protect whistleblowers,right?" Schilling added. "So it's important that weprotect the security of the United States. This is allcoming in light of the new ballroom, by the way, whichneeds to have NDAs around it.It's a security measure for the White House. You can't knoweverything about the White Houseand its designs for it."

"CNN This Morning" host Audie Cornish stepped in and busted Schilling's chops a bit.

"No, I like this," she teased. "You have100 percent trust in the government atall times."

Schilling insisted he didn't, which caused Cornish to burst into laughter, and she listed all the inspectors general – who handle whistleblower complaints – that Trump has pushed out before turning to a visibly restless Seawright.

"Loyalty is a top requirement to work in and around Donald Trump," Seawright said, and Schilling said that was true in any administration. "That's nottrue. Secondly, I would justadd, it's clear that they areactively pursuing aggressivelystate-run media because anystory or any reports contrary oranti-Trump, it becomesproblematic, and so they'retrying to suffocate and silentvoices within government whowant to reveal the truth."

Schilling interjected to argue that NDAs were necessary to prevent liars from fabricating negative stories about the Trump administration, and Seawright pushed back.

"How would you feel if thiswas Joe Biden?" Seawright said, and Schilling insisted that frequently happened during his presidency. "When did the when did the Biden-Harris administrationimplement NDA signings orattempt to? In the four yearsthat Joe Biden was president,you just tell me when, and Iwill agree with you."

Schilling assured him that happened "a lot," and Seawright pounced.

"You never answered myquestion," Seawright said. "Because when did ithappen?"

CNN senior political analyst Ron Brownstein took a whack next.

"There were tons ofleaks under the Trumpadministration, that's why thisis happening," Brownstein said. "It didn't reallyhappen under the Bidenadministration. Imean, this this this is adistillation of his view of thefederal government. This is thedistillation of his view that itis his it is the extension ofhis personal will. It has noindependent statutory orconstitutional obligations tothe public."
