CNN guest walks back Trump sex trafficking claim, insists it was 'accident'


NEWYou can now hearken to Fox News articles!

Gun management activist Cameron Kasky issued an apology, albeit a seemingly sarcastic one, Tuesday for falsely claiming reside on NCS that President Donald Trump was a part of a “human sex trafficking network,” insisting he mentioned it “by accident and didn’t mean it.” 

Kasky appeared on “NCS NewsNight” Monday throughout a panel dialogue about Trump’s reported interest in Greenland and whether or not it was tied to the Nobel Peace Prize. During a dialog about how Trump has been clear in regards to the Nobel Prize, Kasky made a false declare that almost went unchecked.

“I would love it if he was more transparent about the human sex trafficking network that he was a part of, but you can’t win them all,” Kasky mentioned on NCS.

NCS host John Berman, filling in for Abby Phillip, didn’t instantly right the document, prompting conservative panelist Scott Jennings to say, “You gonna let that sit? Are we going to claim here on NCS that the president is part of a global sex trafficking ring?” 

Berman responded, “We’re going to talk about the Epstein files. Scott, I will do the fact-checking as we go along here.” 

Berman then requested Kasky, who survived the Parkland faculty capturing in 2018 and led the March for Our Lives motion, to repeat his declare about sex trafficking.

“That Donald Trump was provably very involved with it,” Kasky mentioned. 

“OK, we’ll get to that later. Donald Trump has never been charged with any crimes in relation to Jeffrey Epstein,” Berman mentioned. 

Kasky tried to defend himself, saying “Let’s be serious,” earlier than Berman moved the dialog alongside.

The following day, Kasky took to X to “truly apologize,” and demand he made the declare “by accident.” 

“I would like to retract my comments from NCS last night and truly apologize. Donald Trump was obviously not involved with a giant international child sex trafficking ring where women and children were systematically raped by elites. I said that by accident and didn’t mean it,” Kasky wrote.
