"JENNINGS: Over 20 over a quarter of the century, we got onto a bad path, and there were people in both parties who did make it a point to say the election wasn't legitimate. My point is simply this. In 2024, we had an election. The votes were counted. We had a legitimate result. Both parties accepted it. And we had a peaceful transition of power. And that is unequivocally a good thing."
"COLLINS: On that front, I mean two points, which is one, that Kamala Harris was the one who certified Donald Trump's victory without any issue that day, which is what he is saying still to this day, Mike Pence did wrong. He's saying Mike Pence didn't speak up. But on your claiming, Democrats who say Russia stole the election in 2016. Joe Biden didn't put up a website, on the federal government website, saying that Russia stole the election,"
The Trump administration unveiled a January 6 website on the attack's fifth anniversary that prompted widespread outrage over falsehoods, omissions, and fabrications. CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins forcefully challenged commentator Scott Jennings for downplaying the attack and shifting blame. Jennings acknowledged the attack was bad but argued that both parties had promoted claims of illegitimacy and highlighted peaceful transition in 2024. Collins rebutted by noting Kamala Harris certified Donald Trump's victory that day, criticized comparisons to Democrats alleging 2016 Russian interference, and emphasized that no federal website claimed Russia stole the 2016 election. The exchange showcased sharp media pushback against the site's narrative.
