If that comes as news to you, you’re not alone.
Factcheck: False

No, really. She’s great. Just check out her explanation after the Washington Examiner called her out:
That was wrong – obviously people can lie. I meant to say Trump has no 1st Am right to call for a crime to be committed (or to call for something dangerous). Sorry for the misstatement.

Jennifer Rodgers gets paid to be a legal analyst, likely because she supposedly understands legal things. Like the Constitution. Like the First Amendment. Yet she makes a “misstatement” like that? We’re not paid CNN legal analysts, but we’re pretty sure even we wouldn’t make such a “misstatement.”

Oops! Her bad!
Those are sort of completely different things

This explanation doesn’t make sense

lmao “I meant to say” something totally different to CNN’s audience. My bad! https://t.co/WuEddPlRnG

Happens to the best of us! But mainly to the worst.
Shameless. But so predictable.

Totally predictable.
You’re doing great.

Because this … is CNN.
this is an Apple

Did anyone correct her on the air?
— The Kid (@BroncoBob360) February 2, 2021
LOL.
Oh, you were serious.
No.
— Pradheep J. Shanker (@Neoavatara) February 2, 2021
Why should they correct her? She supports the narrative they want to push, so they have no incentive to set the record straight.
CNN needs to issue this correction on air.
CNN blasted out misinformation to hundreds of viewers. Dangerous. https://t.co/8mhgSH6Rpp

And if they don’t, we should probably take action to reduce the reach of their harmful lies.
