Ex-GOP congressman marks CNN contributor debut by floating debunked conspiracy on air
Former Rep. Sean Duffy , a Donald Trump loyalist who stepped down from his congressional seat last month, spent his first day as a CNN contributor regurgitating a debunked right-wing conspiracy theory on air.
Duffy had been speaking in reference to a news conference last week in which acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney told reporters that Trump was interested in “corruption that related to the DNC server” when U.S. military aid was being withheld from Ukraine, meaning there was a quid pro quo at play.
“What Mick Mulvaney was talking about was actually trying to find the server that was the DNC server, which was at the heart of the Russia investigation,” Duffy added.“Ukraine doesn’t have the server, Sean,” she later responded. Alisyn Camerota: That's a conspiracy theory. ... Ukraine doesn't have the server, Sean." pic.twitter.com/Et0k0ZvoheDuffy’s performance prompted the network’s Chris Cillizza to speak out on Twitter, where he shared an article in which he refuted the conspiracy theory in September.
