A young conservative reporter caused an entire CNN panel to go push back Thursday night after blowing up a huge media narrative about last week’s midterm elections.
Following the election, media outlets were quick to blame ICE deportations as a major reason for Hispanics abandoning the Republican Party and costing the GOP valuable Senate seats.
Establishment Republicans such as Nikki Haley were also quick to blame Trump’s deportation policy as a contributing factor in the GOP’s losses.
But The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman had some facts to share with CNN viewers.
Lyman revealed that the real reason Hispanics abandoned Trump was due to the economy, not immigration.
To provide more evidence of the overhyped narrative regarding Hispanics, Lyman noted that Democrats barely talked about ICE during the general election.
Instead, they focused on affordability and cost-of-living measures to win over GOP voters.
Why would Democrats take this approach if the issue of immigration were such a powerful weapon to wield against the GOP?
Upon hearing Lyman’s argument, the entire CNN panel started groaning and tried to shout her down.
WATCH:
Lyman: “Latinos knew what President Trump was promising in 2024 at the RNC convention, they held up signs saying ‘Mass deportations now!’
It was never a mystery about what Trump would do in terms of deportations, and Latinos still swung for him. If you look at exit polls, you will find that Latinos ranked the economy as their top priority this cycle.
It‘s also interesting: Axios came out with a report that found during the primary season, Democrats made ICE the third most popular topic talked about but when they entered the general election, it became the 35th topic talked about. Why? Because even Democrats understand that to win a general election, you couldn’t oppose immigration enforcement.
Americans should not cede their sovereignty because you all have suicidal empathy.”

One could say Lyman got a taste of what Scott Jennings regularly deals with as the voice of reason on such panels.
But like him, she maintained her cool throughout while the leftist loons humiliated themselves.
This is the type of spine conservatives will need over the next two years.
