CNN Anchor Challenges Trump Spox’s Fake Proof of Insane ‘Execute The Baby’ Lie

CNN anchor Kasie Hunt challenged Trump campaign senior adviser Jason Miller over fake proof of former President Donald Trump’s lie that Democrats allow people to “execute the baby” after it is born.

Trump and VP Harris met for the first time on the debate stage in Philadelphia Tuesday night for the ABC News debate, which quickly turned contentious when Trump went on a rant about abortion that included his oft-repeated false accusation of baby executions.

Moderator Linsey Davis fact checked Trump before moving on to the next question:

TRUMP: Well, the reason I’m doing that vote is because the plan is, as you know, the vote is they have abortion in the ninth month. They even have, and you can look at the Governor of West Virginia, the previous Governor of West Virginia, not the current Governor, who’s doing an excellent job, but the Governor before, he said, the baby will be born and we will decide what to do with the baby. In other words, we’ll execute the baby.

…

DAVIS: There is no state in this country where it’s legal to kill a baby after it’s born. Madam Vice President, I want to get your response to President Trump.

On Wednesday morning’s edition of CNN This Morning , Hunt pushed Miller on the claim, which the Trump adviser tried to bolster with examples that Hunt immediately challenged:

MILLER: I do have to take issues with the moderators on this point. There was a false fact check against President Trump with regard to Minnesota. If you go and look, there have been eight instances, since 2019, where a baby was born and whether it’s because of a botched abortion or because there’s some other reason after there — maybe the attempt to revive or resuscitate the baby after they were born happened, eight instances where that baby then died.

So, there have been cases where after the baby was born that, unfortunately, there are eight lives that perished. Ralph Northam, and again, anyone can Google this, the former governor of Virginia said in the case of an abortion gone wrong, that they would be born, they would bring it in front of the doctors and then the parents along with the doctors would make a decision if they would keep that baby alive.

I have the video clip pinned — excuse me, not pinned, but on my social media timeline @JasonMillerinDC. You can see Ralph Northam on video saying that literally after a baby is born, they would decide if they would keep the baby or if they would terminate the baby. That’s barbaric.

HUNT: All right.

MILLER: Tim Walz is such an extremist on this. One of six states that allow abortions into the ninth month. I think Democrats are extreme at that issue.

HUNT: OK.

MILLER: Most people know this is a very personal issue, but they’re more worried about the economy and immigration.

HUNT: And in these — in cases like the ones that you are raising, they are — if there is something that is happening, many of these cases, and I do not know the details of these ones that you have raised, but they are often very tragic, very difficult situations, often very wanted children and that is how the parents would frame this.

As a matter of fact, none of the examples Miller cited — from compulsory State of Minnesota annual reports — consisted of a baby being “executed” or “killed.”

All were treated in accordance with the state law that requires “reasonable measures consistent with good medical practice shall be taken by the responsible medical personnel to preserve the life and health of the born alive infant.”
