CNN pundits spar over state of politics in heated clash: 'Already at the bottom!'
A fiery clash exploded during a CNN live broadcast between two political commentators on Wednesday in a debate over where the United States and its political parties are headed.
Political analyst Charles Blow and Alyssa Farah Griffin, a strategist and former Trump administration official, got in a heated back-and-forth over the direction of the Republican and Democratic parties on a panel with CNN anchor Kasie Hunt.
"The moment that you elected Donald Trump and you watch what he has done in the first year of his administration — no one, no one can make the argument that someone is too extreme," Blow said.
Griffin interjected and pushed back, then Blow fired back a response. He referenced what Special Envoy and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner said at Charlie Kirk's memorial service.
"You go back and listen to what Kushner said at Kirk's memorial service, go back and listen to the full thing, and tell me that is not a full-fledged white power speech," Blow said.
Griffin pushed back on Blow's comments.
"The vast majority of Americans do not want our country to become a race to the bottom in politics," Griffin said.
But Blow did not agree.
"It's already at the bottom!" Blow responded.
