Byron Donalds criticizes CNN for misrepresenting Trump's comments on protecting women

Rep. Byron Donalds criticized CNN for airing a clip of former President Donald Trump that he claims was taken out of context. Trump’s comment about “protecting women” was presented without mentioning illegal immigration, which Donalds argued misrepresented the statement. During a campaign event, Trump said he would protect women from illegal immigrants, but CNN's clip omitted this context. Donalds urged the network to show the full clip, emphasizing that Trump was referencing a specific tragedy at the southern border. In response to CNN's coverage, Trump's campaign accused Vice President Kamala Harris's team of editing his comments to mislead voters. This incident highlights ongoing tensions between Republican lawmakers and media outlets over how statements are reported.
