Missouri Republican Sen. Eric Schmitt shredded CNN anchor Kate Bolduan to her face as the network, and its host continue to twist the words of former President Donald Trump to craft a negative narrative about him.

It came after the network aired a clip of the president speaking about how tough it would be for another assassin to get to him and that they would have to shoot through the “fake news” to get to him.

“All we really have over here is the fake news, right? And to get me somebody would have to shoot through the fake news. And I don’t mind that so much,” Trump joked at a rally.

But CNN and other media have played it as if he really meant that he wanted someone to shoot through the reporters.

“Well, I just think it’s interesting … every day, you try to create some sort of faux outrage, and I understand why, because Kamala Harris has called President Trump, a fascist, Joe Biden has called half of America garbage, and they have nothing to run on,” the senator told Bolduan. “And so every day we find something, you guys try to blow up into something that quite frankly no one takes literally.

“I can’t believe you spend so much time on it on the air, but I know why — because President Trump has the momentum in this race,” Schmitt continued. “It’s a change election cycle, President Trump by 2-to-1 margins is seen as the change candidate. That’s a hard reality for some people to accept, but that’s what people are focused on, not these clips that you seem to air every day.”

“I’m just asking you, are you okay with [Trump] saying that? Would you like him to continue to repeat that today as part of your final message?” the anchor said.

“It’s really interesting. So President Trump, he’s had two assassination attempts on his life, and you don’t really talk about that anymore, and if it were Kamala Harris, NBC Nightly News would be camped out in Butler [Pennsylvania], but it’s not convenient to humanize President Trump,” Schmitt responded.

“I have spent a lot of time with him this weekend. His message is very clear: Kamala Harris broke it, we’re gonna fix it. So again, you can pull up all the clips over 4 years, or even 8 years now, the idea to try to marginalize him and his supporters has been ongoing … Every time you try to pull up a clip like this to create outrage, people see through it now, they really do … This is insane,” he added.

WATCH:

Corporate media is full on in the tank for Team Kamala and have played a big role in demonizing @realDonaldTrump and his supporters. The American people see right through it.
