In a recent CNN panel discussion that could only be described as a masterclass in liberal hysteria, commentators showcased their uncanny ability to shriek about constitutional crises without actually knowing what a constitutional crisis is. The exchange, which aired during CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip, was so chaotic it would have made a seasoned circus ringmaster blush. Rather than discussing any substantive issues, the left’s talking heads resorted to emotional outbursts about President Trump and his comments regarding federal workers, highlighting their deep-seated disdain for anyone who dares to oppose them.
The drama unfolded when liberal commentator Touré launched into a tirade about Trump allegedly “shredding the constitution.” The absurdity of such an assertion prompted fellow panelist Jennings to cut through the noise and demand clarity. He asked how Trump was specifically violating the Constitution, only to be met with a dizzying display of circumlocution and panicked accusations. Rather than answering, Touré took the condescending route, insinuating that Jennings must lack basic knowledge of civics. Clearly, the left believes that shouting louder somehow acts as a substitute for evidence.
As the chaos continued, Jennings remained composed, questioning Touré’s dire assertion that Trump might appoint someone to “contravene the Constitution.” Such a doomsday proclamation is typical of the left’s playbook—throw out vague threats without a shred of proof, then retreat when asked to clarify. Jennings asked for specifics about who this supposed constitutional violator might be, thereby exposing the lack of substance behind the emotional tirade of the liberals. At one point, even CNN host Abby Phillip had to step in to remind the panel that it is, in fact, the president who holds the reins of the military—an obvious fact that had evidently escaped their grasp.
This episode is quintessentially representative of the left’s tactics. Rather than engaging in rational discussion, they resort to fearmongering, hoping that an onslaught of baseless claims will trigger a knee-jerk reaction among their audience. When pressed for evidence, they quickly fall back on emotional outbursts. It’s a tactic designed to instill dread, not to inform. With claims ranging from imminent dictatorship to the mythical end of democracy, the left repeats its mantras so often that one might think they are simply trying to drown out reality with noise.
Democrats Can't Explain the Constitutional Crisis They Claim Exists. Democrats are the crisis that #WeThePeople corrected by electing Trump. https://t.co/lM3gzXYKAI

For years, these scare tactics have failed to manifest into anything tangible. The Democrats have been proclaiming Trump’s imminent destruction of democracy since he first took office. Fast forward to today—America is still voting, debating policies, and exercising constitutional rights. Their dramatic predictions of disaster have consistently turned out to be nothing more than hot air, revealing a pattern of baseless assertions that dominate their discourse.
At the heart of the matter is not a fear of constitutional violations, but rather a terror of the unwieldy bureaucratic power structure that Trump threatens to dismantle. By questioning the authority of the unelected administrative state, he presents a profound challenge to the left’s shadow government. They can’t handle the thought of losing their grip—and in their scramble to maintain control, they lash out with alarmingly outrageous claims that, under scrutiny, disintegrate faster than a sandcastle at high tide.
Next time those on the left feel the need to scream “dictatorship” or cry about a “constitutional crisis,” perhaps a refresher course in civics would serve them well. Their emotionally charged accusations may fly in their liberal echo chamber, but come crashing down under even the slightest scrutiny—much like the panel that evening on CNN.
