A longtime supporter and former adviser to Donald Trump was admonished "Don't do this" and to stop "yelling" when he want off on a rant about the Jan. 6 insurrection.
With the Jan. 6 riot taking center stage once again in the wake of a filing from special counsel Jack Smith accusing the former president of criminal acts, host Jim Acosta, Democratic strategist Karen Finney and conservative David Urban ended up engaging in a contentious debate that went off the rails when Urban claimed MAGA fan Ashli Babbitt was "murdered."
After Urban was told he was "moving the goalposts" to justify Trump's loss to President Joe Biden, Acosta bluntly told the conservative, "The last election was fine – he lost."

When Finney added, "There are dangerous consequences because the president lied. People died on Jan. 6," Urban fired back.
"The only person who died on Jan. 6 was Ashli Babbitt who was murdered," he accused. "That's the only person who died, let's be straight, Karen, on Jan. 6."
When both Finney and Acosta attempted to push back, Urban shouted, "I'm not trying to minimize it," as Acosta said, "C'mon, let's not do that one."
"Jim, Jim!" the conservative guest yelled. "It's terrible, right?"
"David, David, none of that would have happened if Donald Trump had just been a man and accepted the election results in 2020," Acosta explained as Urban talked over him. "Just man up, that's it – that's the whole ballgame."
"Do you accept personal responsibility is the key in life?" Urban asked as Finney looked on in puzzlement. "When you were a kid and your mom said when you were out with your friends and you did something, you said, 'Well, Billy made me do it, mom,' she would. have said, 'I don't care what Billy did.' You know better and your mom taught you better."
"The people who broke into the Capitol, they're responsible for their activities, not Donald Trump, not my dog made me do it," he ranted as Acosta tried to reply.
"Okay," Finney interceded as she reached out for Urban's arm. "We don't have to yell, we don't have to yell."
