After CNN's Horrible Tweet About NYC Bombing Attempt, They Just Made It Worse With New Comment From Host

CNN posted a horrible tweet about the two men accused of throwing a bomb at protesters outside of Gracie Mansion.

Oh, those poor boys, they could have had a nice day out, and then it all just got wrecked.

Then, of course, if you read that, you might think that Mayor Zohran Mamdani was targeted, rather than the protest, since it's unclear. Even after CNN pulled the original tweet and posted an explanation, they still weren't even clear on that point.

A post regarding the two individuals arrested for throwing homemade bombs outside of New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s home failed to reflect the gravity of the incident thereby breaching the editorial standards we require for all our reporting. It has therefore been deleted.

But they apparently weren't finished yet.

During Abby Phillip's show on Tuesday, she made things even worse, claiming in two places during her broadcast that the NYC attack was an attempt to target Mamdani. She said it at the start of the program at about one minute in, where she talks about "after that attempted terror attack against New York's mayor." Then later in the program, she repeats it here:

CNN's Abby Phillip claims that the attempted NYC bombing was "an attempted terror attack against New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani."

She called it 'an attempted terror attack against New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani,' while accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of staying silent on what she characterized as anti-Islam comments from two Republican lawmakers.

As we reported, one of the suspects allegedly threw a bomb at the protest crowd, then he dropped another on the street as police started to chase them. The police have made multiple statements regarding the alleged ISIS comments made by the suspects.

The CNN tweet about the suspects was bad enough, but how does a CNN host actually say this live on air, twice, no less? Then, apparently, trying to paint it as a part of an anti-Islam sentiment? How do you justify this?

They pulled the tweet, saying it didn't reflect their standards. What are they going to do about this, which is even worse on a broadcast? I double-checked it, and it's there at 25:35. Even for CNN, this was incredibly egregious. Given that she said it twice, and adding in the terrible tweet about the suspects, it looks like a pattern.

Let's see if they apologize or try to skate by this.

The misleading headlines were bad enough, but there is no excuse for a news host to simply mislead viewers about the target of the attempted terror attack. https://t.co/xdrprXatnw
