CNN has come under scrutiny for criticizing former President Donald Trump after he was shot in an assassination attempt. Trump, who was shot by an assailant, reportedly told his supporters to 'fight, fight, fight' seconds after the incident. CNN's Jamie Gangel and other panelists expressed concern over Trump's rhetoric, stating that it was not the appropriate message to send in such a situation. Gangel found it odd when she watched the tape, noting that Trump got up and said 'fight, fight, fight' immediately after he was hit. The criticism has sparked a debate over the appropriateness of Trump's response immediately following the attempt on his life.
