CNN Anchor Busts Trump Ally Claiming Brutal Poll Is ‘Biased’ — Without Knowing ‘Which Poll’ It Is

 

CNN anchor Brianna Keilar busted Trump ally Sen. Roger Marshall (R-KS) trying to claim a brutal government shutdown poll was “biased” by making him admit he didn’t even know which poll he was trashing.

Despite messaging to the contrary, a raft of polls show that voters blame President Donald Trump and the Republicans for the shutdown.

On Friday’s edition of CNN News Central, Keilar cited one of them, and when Marshall complained it was “biased,” she repeatedly asked him to explain — and Marshall admitted “I don’t even know which — who was it from?”:

KEILAR: OK. Yes, that’s — Republicans are saying this isn’t the way to deal with subsidies, pass a clean funding bill. But Democrats have picked this issue, right, these ACA subsidies that are so popular.

And you see the “Washington Post” poll that was just out here showing more Americans are actually blaming President Trump and you guys, congressional Republicans, for the shutdown than Democrats. Is that giving you pause?

MARSHALL: Oh, I think that’s a very false scenario right there.

I think everybody realizes this is a Schumer shutdown, that this is a politically driven shutdown driven by AOC and the Squad and the liberal Marxist portion of the Democrat Party. I think that’s truly, truly what’s going on here. That’s because — and then none of their arguments make sense, where they’re trying to shut to shut it down. It just doesn’t make any sense to anybody.

So I would just discount that poll altogether. And that’s not what I’m hearing from back home.

KEILAR: Why do you discount that?

MARSHALL: Well, I just think there’s so much other polls to say just the opposite.

KEILAR: Which ones?

MARSHALL: I think that the arguments out there — well, I don’t have them at my fingertips right now. I can tell you that that’s a very biased poll. I’m absolutely convinced that this is a political shutdown. And more and more…

KEILAR: Why is it biased? Can you explain?

MARSHALL: I don’t even know which — who was it from? I don’t even know.

KEILAR: “The Washington Post” I mean, if it’s biased, you should know which one it is. It’s the “Washington Post” poll.

MARSHALL: Yes. Yes, I don’t know. I don’t think you can take a snapshot like that.

What I’m hearing back home is that people think that this is a Schumer shutdown…
