Abby Phillip Shuts Down Election Denier on CNN

During a recent CNN broadcast, host Abby Phillip confronted Ashley Hayek, the executive director of America First Works, after Hayek claimed that Donald Trump could be elected four times, despite the constitutional limits. Phillip interrupted Hayek, asserting, 'We are not doing that, OK? Donald Trump lost the 2020 election,' emphasizing the lack of evidence for claims of a stolen election. The discussion arose amidst Trump's suggestions about potentially running for a third term, which experts have noted would violate the 22nd Amendment. Democratic strategist Karen Finney also criticized Trump for his perceived disregard for the Constitution and the rule of law. Hayek attempted to pivot the conversation back to Trump's popularity, suggesting he would win if an election were held today. Despite her attempts, Phillip maintained a firm stance against the perpetuation of election denial narratives.
