CNN Host Leaves Jay Ashcroft Stuttering Over Biden Ballot Removal Threat

CNN's Boris Sanchez just pulverized Missouri Secretary of State Jay Ashcroft. If anyone is looking for Ashcroft, they can find him in a fetal position in a corner, sucking his thumb.

Because Maine and Colorado want Donald Trump removed from their state ballots, Ashcroft has threatened to remove President Joe Biden from Missouri's state ballot for the 2024 election. It's sort of like their efforts to impeach Biden. "We're going to get you back by impeaching Biden!" Sanchez tries to make sense of Ashcroft's reasoning. It doesn't go down well for the Missouri Republican. We're transcribing the entire clip because it's a masterclass in How To Do Journalism.

"I'm wondering, though, what would then be your justification for removing Joe Biden from the ballot in Missouri?" Sanchez asked. "Has he engaged in your mind in some kind of insurrection?"

"There have been allegations that he's engaged in insurrection," Ashcroft insisted.

"How so?" Sanchez asked.

"No, please let me finish," Sanchez said. "There have only been allegations."

"You can't say something like that and not back it up," Sanchez said. "What do you mean?"

"I am continuing, but you interrupted me before I could back it up," Ashcroft alleged.

"Go ahead," Sanchez said.

"Are you scared of the truth?" Ashcroft said.

"Oh, I'm not terrified of the truth at all," Sanchez shot back. "It seems like you might be."
