In a recent CNN segment, a former communications director for Vice President Kamala Harris attempted to spin the narrative surrounding the June presidential debate between President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden, infamously proclaiming that Trump was “zero for one” when it came to debates. It seems that in the world of leftist media, facts are about as welcome as a porcupine at a balloon party. Conservative commentator Scott Jennings didn’t just roll his eyes at the absurdity; he delivered a facepalm moment for the ages, reminding everyone that spinning facts into oblivion is an art mastered by Democratic strategists.
The conversation shifted toward the debate’s logistics, particularly the contentious miking issue that saw teams squabbling like children over who gets control of the remote. Harris’s camp insisted on having the mics “hot” throughout the debate, while the Trump camp argued for the mutual agreement that both candidates’ microphones would be off during their opponent’s speaking time. This is where Simmons stepped in with more spin than a carnival ride, suggesting that Trump was already down a debate before the election even kicked off.

As Jennings took a moment to absorb Simmons’s less-than-accurate assessment, he couldn’t resist calling out the absurdity of saying Trump lost a debate while simultaneously pushing Harris’s ascent despite her lack of actual primary votes. Jennings pointed out that Trump didn’t just walk away from that debate; he effectively sent Biden—an established political figure with decades of experience—into a tailspin. Instead of facing facts, Simmons clung desperately to his rhetoric, trying to convince viewers that losing decisively could somehow be spun into a victory on the way to Harris’s coronation.
To further illustrate the Democratic penchant for rewriting history, it is crucial to note that Biden didn’t leave the race voluntarily. Instead, he was pushed out amid increasing evidence of his declining capabilities—the same evidence the left insists on glossing over. Biden was essentially maneuvered away from the spotlight, leaving the stage with a gentle nudge from his former boss, Barack Obama. It begs the question of how can the Democrats present themselves as champions of democracy when they shoved aside a sitting president in such a calculated manner.
Moreover, there is the glaring fact that Kamala Harris has never even garnered a single primary vote that could validate her ascension to the candidate position. Her nomination was handed to her on a silver platter, which many might characterize as a political heist rather than a fair competition. Not only does this raise eyebrows, but it leaves a stain on the party that claims to support democratic values while engaging in backdoor dealings that whisk away legitimate opposition.
Once again, Jennings deserves acknowledgment for putting Simmons in his place and holding the left accountable for their historical gymnastics. In the arena of political debate, facts should stand resolutely, not be twisted like a pretzel by desperate spokespersons trying to salvage their narrative. The left’s attempts at gaslighting and revisionism are becoming so routine that it’s almost enough to make one wonder if there’s a manual for it somewhere in the Democratic Party’s basement. The simple truth is that Democrats can try to rewrite history, but the reality remains clear to anyone paying attention.
