Sean Duffy Marks CNN Contributor Debut By Floating Conspiracy Theory On Air

Huff Post  

LOADING ERROR LOADING 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. In an interview Monday morning with CNN “New Day” anchor Alisyn Camerota, Duffy said that “we spent two years talking about a Russia collusion” ― meaning former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into election meddling ― a pressure point within the GOP among those who railed against the investigation as a political witch hunt aimed at Trump. CNN contributor Sean Duffy comes on to push the debunked Crowdstrike conspiracy theory for the second day in a row to justify Trump's actions Alisyn Camerota: That's a conspiracy theory.. Ukraine doesn't have the server, Sean."
