CNN is just going to gloss over the “rhetorical” aspect of it?
Rhetorical "kill shot" means clever persuasion with words.
CNN is turning it into a terror plot.
Idiots leave out the "rhetorical" part to Rupar it. https://t.co/oHsuy0DKPi

Fauci later told CNN’s John Berman, “He’s gonna go, very likely, unaccountable. I mean, whatever network he’s on is not going to do anything for him”:
Dr. Anthony Fauci says Fox News’ Jesse Watters should “be fired on the spot” for telling a crowd to “ambush” Fauci with “the kill shot.”
But, he adds: “He’s gonna go, very likely, unaccountable. I mean, whatever network he’s on is not going to do anything for him.” pic.twitter.com/K3X0V3jZdM
