'There's no evidence': Vance rant about assassination attempts slapped aside on CNN

A rant by GOP vice presidential candidate J.D. Vance at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania was dismissed by CNN's Alayna Treene Sunday morning after he accused Democrats of being behind assassination attempts aimed at Donald Trump.

Vance made a speaking appearance with the former president at the site of the first attempt on Trump's life weeks ago.

As part of her post-Trump rally reporting on Sunday morning, the CNN reporter highlighted Vance bellowing at the MAGA crowd, "First, they tried to silence him. When that didn't work they tried to bankrupt him. When that didn't work, they tried to jail him and, with all the hatred they have spewed at president Trump, it was only a matter of time before somebody tried to kill him."

"Now, Victor [Blackwell] and Amara [Walker], we know that both Trump and J.D. Vance have tried to argue in the past that perhaps Democrats, Democrats' rhetoric about Donald Trump, particularly arguing that he may be a threat to democracy may have been what had led to that first assassination attempt, or even the second assassination attempt on Donald Trump's life."

"Of course, there's no evidence to support that, but that was the case that they were making," she added.
