CNN’s Abby Phillip was recently discussing the arrest of Don Lemon, when one of the guests made a point about what is in the Lemon indictment.
Phillip confidently jumped in claiming that the person was wrong.
Moments later, the same guest read directly from the indictment, proving that she was right. Did Phillip apologize? No, she simply sighed loudly and then moved on to trying to make other points.
Why is she the host of this show? It seems like all she ever does is interrupt the non-liberal guests and tell them that they’re wrong, even if they’re right.
Mediaite has more details:
Here’s what happened: New York Post reporter and frequent CNN guest Lydia Moynihan joined NewsNight on Friday to talk about Lemon’s arrest after he livestreamed — and some would argue, assisted — anti-ICE protesters who stormed a Minnesota church and wrecked its service earlier this month. Lemon insists he was not a participant in the protest and only covering it as a journalist.
Moynihan said, “The question is, is he a protester or a journalist? And the indictment obviously suggested that he posted himself at the main door, he prevented people from exiting. ”
That comment got an instant reaction from Phillip, who jumped in and said Moynihan was way off.
“No, no it does not say that,” Phillip protested. “It says that protesters did that, it names the other people, it did not say that Don did that.”
But 17 minutes later, Moynihan circled back to their brief tussle from earlier, saying, “I just want to respond because you accused me of mischaracterizing the indictment.”
She then read the following section directly from the court filing: “At one point, defendant LEMON posted himself at the main door of the Church, where he confronted some congregants and physically obstructed them as they tried to exit the Church building to challenge them with ‘facts’ about U.S. immigration policy.”
Watch the video below:
Moynihan: The indictment says that Lemon posted himself outside the door and prevented people from exiting.
Phillip: The indictment does NOT say that.
NEXT SEGMENT:
Moynihan: *Quotes indictment*
Phillip: We have to question the characterizations in the indictment.

Why does it seem like Abby Phillip thinks her job is to defend Don Lemon? Why is she not just delving into the facts of the case, like a journalist would do? We all know the answers to these questions, don’t we?
