CNN Calls out Cardin over Castro’s ‘Hit List’ Conspiracy Theory: Not Just Trump ‘Having an Issue with Facts

EXCERPT:

HARLOW: "You know, it's not just the president here having an issue with facts. He has a big issue with them. But during an interview with me on our show just last week, Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro of Texas passed along a totally unfounded conspiracy theory that he said Jared Kushner had -- he heard reported delivered a hit list of people to the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman that included the journalist Jamal Khashoggi. He later walked that back. But you know, given what former Vice President Joe Biden said last night, we have to choose truth over lies. Is this any way to win an election from either party?" 
CARDIN: "Well, as you pointed out, he walked back his statements. And of course he's not --" 
HARLOW: "After a lot of pressure. And he said it on this show without any facts." 
CARDIN: "But he -- and I don't condone that at all. That's wrong. But he's not the leader of the free world. He's not the person that is looked upon by Democratic leaders around the world for leadership and protecting their Democratic institutions or promoting universal values. The president in the manner in which he's conducting himself as president, not being truthful, is damaging not just America, but he's damaging our values globally."
