On Tuesday night, CNN gave viewers a front-row seat to a classic example of the left’s persistent narrative overreach, showcased during an exchange between CNN anchor Abby Phillip and former Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker. The discussion revolved around the surprising victory of Democrat Judge Susan Crawford over Republican Judge Brad Schimel and how rockstar entrepreneur Elon Musk’s alleged meddling might have influenced the results, thanks to a financial surge for Crawford’s campaign.
Walker, no stranger to the political landscape after successfully winning elections in Wisconsin and enduring a recall attempt, was laser-focused on the potential fallout from Schimel’s loss, especially concerning its implications for President Trump’s agenda and future Congressional efforts. Phillip, attempting to link Musk to contentious issues like cuts to Social Security and Medicaid, had her facts challenged head-on by Walker, who pointed out the glaring inconsistencies in her statements.
MUST SEE: Abby Phillip BLATANTLY lies about Elon Musk on stage in Green Bay saying he would cut Social Security and Medicare benefits, when he said the exact opposite. Scott Walker does not let her get away with it.

The exchange reached a boiling point when Phillip insisted that Musk had been vocal about cutting benefits, but Walker quickly set the record straight, informing her that Musk had explicitly stated he wouldn’t cut Social Security. Instead of acknowledging Walker’s correction, Phillip persisted with her narrative, even claiming that members of Musk’s DOGE team had broached the topic. Walker, remembering his firsthand experience at the events, refuted her claims with clarity, emphasizing that no one at those rallies made any such assertions.
As the tension mounted, Walker rightly emphasized the dangers of such misleading assertions, noting that the fabrications around Medicaid and Medicare could easily sway unsuspecting voters toward Crawford. The stark reality is that when facts take a backseat to sensationalism, the electoral process suffers. Phillip’s refusal to acknowledge the absence of evidence for her claims only accentuated the lengths the left will go to manipulate public perception, a tactic that continues to undermine trust in media narratives.
Walker’s approach was a prime example of how conservatives can effectively counter the left’s deceptive messaging. He urged for accountability and demanded evidence, knowing full well that the left thrives on unfounded assertions. When logic prevails, as it did in this exchange, the truth tends to emerge resiliently, dismantling the lies that these so-called journalists perpetuate.
Ultimately, the event highlighted how President Trump, Elon Musk, and the DOGE team are striving to bring much-needed accountability to government programs plagued by waste and fraud. Citizens deserve transparency, not the fearful tales spun by the corporate media. As momentum builds around efforts to expose government corruption, it becomes increasingly clear that voices willing to challenge the narrative are essential to restoring integrity in the public discourse.
