CNN’s leftist host Abby Phillip sparked national outrage last night after uttering a huge lie about last weekend’s terror attack in New York City before trying to backtrack in a panic.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, two male Islamist terrorists linked to ISIS threw a homemade bomb in an attempt to kill protesters at an anti-Islam rally outside Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s official residence on Saturday. The bomb was laced with metal and powerful explosives, according to the New York Times.
Fortunately, no one was injured in the incident.
One of the men screamed “Allahu Akbar!” while getting arrested.
Following the attack, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) responded with an extremely provocative comment that infuriated the left: Muslims do not belong in the United States.
“Muslims don’t belong in American society,” Ogles wrote on X. “Pluralism is a lie.”
This remark came less than one month after Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) set the Internet on fire with his comments toward a Muslim leftist who called for banning dogs as indoor pets.
“If they force us to choose, the choice between dogs and Muslims is not a difficult one,” Fine wrote.
Phillip seemingly saw an opportunity to smear Fine and Ogles while insinuating they were partly to blame for the terror attack. And she did so by outright lying about Muslim NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani being the target.
“Two Republicans say Muslims don’t belong here after an attempted terror attack on New York City’s mayor, Zohran Mamdani. And the House Speaker, Mike Johnson, says nothing to really condemn these comments,” Phillip fibbed.

After getting blasted on X, Phillip frantically tried to do damage control on X. She corrected the despicable lie but said her wording was merely ‘inaccurate’ and an ‘error.’
“I want to correct something I said last night,” Phillip wrote. “The bombs thrown in New York City over the weekend by ISIS inspired attackers was thrown into a crowd of anti-Muslim protestors and not specifically targeted at Mayor Mamdani.”
“That wording was inaccurate and I didn’t catch it ahead of time. I apologize for the error.”

Unsurprisingly, no one bought her excuse.
No, Abby, you didn’t misreport it, you deliberately twisted the facts on purpose. You’re nothing but a shameless political hack, with your head buried so deep in the anti-American echo chamber that it’s downright nauseating. If CNN has any shot at survival in this era of…

If you have an ounce of integrity left, you would go on air and correct it
Let’s see what happens

You did a racism. You did an imperialism. You did a nationalism. You did a xenophobia. You did a white fragility. You did a weak apology. You did no growth. This makes it abundantly clear you don’t understand the intersectional nature of the multiplicity of your offenses.

Hi @abbydphillip. This correction is once again, inaccurate. The bomb was thrown indiscriminately into a crowd of civilians—the terrorist said himself he wanted to kill a lot more people than the Boston massacre bomber. Will there be an actual accurate correction on-air?

You blatantly lied on purpose. Or you’re just completely incompetent. Which is it?
