Al Franken and Scott Jennings Spar on CNN Panel over Election Denier Candidates: ‘Would You Vote for Her? It’s a Simple Question!’

FRANKEN I was going ░░░░░░░░ say shouldn t your ░░░░░░░░ be to Republicans you ░░░░░░░░ a Republican to tell ░░░░░░░░ to stop foisting this ░░░░░░░░ lie that the election ░░░░░░░░ stolen That s why ░░░░░░░░ re seeing this That ░░░░░░░░ why we re seeing ░░░░░░░░ guys outside of voter ░░░░░░░░ That s why secretaries ░░░░░░░░ state that are running ░░░░░░░░ the Republican banner who ░░░░░░░░ running are saying that ░░░░░░░░ election was stolen That ░░░░░░░░ the threat And you ░░░░░░░░ to say that You ░░░░░░░░ to say the election ░░░░░░░░ t stolen ACOSTA Scott ░░░░░░░░ you want to reply ░░░░░░░░ that JENNINGS Yeah sure ░░░░░░░░ mean I m long ░░░░░░░░ the record as having ░░░░░░░░ what happened on January ░░░░░░░░ I don t believe ░░░░░░░░ election was stolen I ░░░░░░░░ Joe Biden won the ░░░░░░░░ I also believe everybody ░░░░░░░░ who was running down ░░░░░░░░ ticket I think all ░░░░░░░░ races were fairly contested ░░░░░░░░ do think there were ░░░░░░░░ cases of issues out ░░░░░░░░ but nothing on the ░░░░░░░░ that would overturn the ░░░░░░░░ of an election So ░░░░░░░░ agree with you FRANKEN ░░░░░░░░ do you mean by ░░░░░░░░ individual cases JENNINGS I ░░░░░░░░ the election was not ░░░░░░░░ JENNINGS Okay well but ░░░░░░░░ many an amazing number ░░░░░░░░ Republican candidates say the ░░░░░░░░ was stolen And that ░░░░░░░░ dangerous if we re ░░░░░░░░ people especially to administer ░░░░░░░░ elections The candidate for ░░░░░░░░ of state in Michigan ░░░░░░░░ candidate for secretary of ░░░░░░░░ in Arizona those Republicans ░░░░░░░░ saying that the election ░░░░░░░░ stolen They re spouting ░░░░░░░░ big lie How can ░░░░░░░░ allow them to be ░░░░░░░░ our elections ACOSTA Well ░░░░░░░░ we re showing to ░░░░░░░░ viewers right now election ░░░░░░░░ in midterm races you ░░░░░░░░ see this up on ░░░░░░░░ screen secretary of state ░░░░░░░░ of 27 Republican candidates ░░░░░░░░ for governor 22 of ░░░░░░░░ Republican candidates and in ░░░░░░░░ U S Senate 19 ░░░░░░░░ 35 Republican candidates Scott ░░░░░░░░ it a larger institutional ░░░░░░░░ now in the Republican ░░░░░░░░ JENNINGS I do think ░░░░░░░░ are a lot of ░░░░░░░░ who believe that the ░░░░░░░░ election was not fairly ░░░░░░░░ I m not one ░░░░░░░░ them I believe that ░░░░░░░░ basically was fairly contested ░░░░░░░░ that Joe Biden won ░░░░░░░░ you re absolutely right ░░░░░░░░ is a widespread belief ░░░░░░░░ s not a correct ░░░░░░░░ but it is a ░░░░░░░░ belief I think at ░░░░░░░░ end of the day ░░░░░░░░ correct message for the ░░░░░░░░ ought to be that ░░░░░░░░ who s a legal ░░░░░░░░ should be able to ░░░░░░░░ all votes should be ░░░░░░░░ fairly and in a ░░░░░░░░ fashion and all the ░░░░░░░░ that are applicable in ░░░░░░░░ state jurisdiction should be ░░░░░░░░ and executed to the ░░░░░░░░ of the ability of ░░░░░░░░ people who are on ░░░░░░░░ ground and sworn in ░░░░░░░░ execute those laws It ░░░░░░░░ a you know easy ░░░░░░░░ vote hard to cheat ░░░░░░░░ is a basic message ░░░░░░░░ a lot of Republicans ░░░░░░░░ but they all should ░░░░░░░░ it And to me ░░░░░░░░ s the correct one ░░░░░░░░ would resonate with the ░░░░░░░░ Americans.”
