BREAKING : CNN Discusses How Assassinating Trump Could Keep Obama Administration in Power
While the nation is awaiting a peaceful transition of power, CNN is sitting around dreaming up scenarios where Trump and Pence are assassinated before taking office, resulting in the Obama administration keeping power.
From Breitbart:
On the Wednesday, January 18 broadcast of CNN’s The Situation Room, host Wolf Blitzer aired a segment with a chyron featuring the headline “Developing Now.” During that “developing” segment, Blitzer and correspondent Brian Todd discussed what would happen if the unthinkable occurred on January 20.
Blitzer introduced the segment, saying, “What if an incoming president and his immediate successors were wiped out on day one?” and from there, CNN contributor Brian Todd took over to outline the line of succession if an attack blew up the inaugural dais, killing both Trump and Pence.
The upshot was that in the case of both heads of state being killed, the Secretary of State would take over. Currently that man is Secretary of State John Kerry, But in case some objected because his office would also end as of noon on Inauguration Day, then it would be the Speaker of the House — Republican Paul Ryan — or even Obama’s Under Secretary for Political Affairs Tom Shannon.
The report also noted that the designated survivor appointed by the Obama administration could also become president in the case of a disaster. So, in CNN’s analysis, most of the people who would take over in the worst-case scenario would keep the Obama administration in power, at least indirectly.
So while most of the country is looking to enjoy the day’s events and waiting expectantly to hear what our new president will have to say for his first address as our leader, CNN is wondering what will happen if he is assassinated.
Perhaps CNN is still stuck in anger, the second stage of grief.

I find this just disgusting!!! CNN you are irrelevant, go away!
This is so stupid. Even if the CNN dream scenario happened, then what’s to prevent anyone from taking it all a step further, and then say the retaliation attacks would then wipe out all of the obama government so obama government cronies wouldn’t be left in charge either?
I think CNN discussing this senario was a blanket attempt to broadcast this idea out to the population in possible hope that someone will act upon it. If this were to happen it would immediately cause a civil uprising and ALL hell would break loose. VERY irresponsible of CNN to even discuss this especially at this time when tempers of the irrational left is at their highest….
Grace…I Believe That You Are Exactly Right!
totally agree Grace.
I have never known a media to be so disrespectable against A President-elect,
and basically suggest to the puplic to assassinate him…
they are a despicable bunch,,,,CNN
its because hes not part of the Establishment and he is gonna be a tough nut
to crack,,,,,,LONG LIVE TRUMP
Wolf is a wolf.
Enough!!!
Time to go wolf!!! Crawl back into the wilderness where you belong
Its a treasonist act. He should be in jail alongside hillary and pos obama.
Isn’t that considered a terrorist threat? They need to be called out in that!!! Shame on CNN for even talking about such a thing and putting ideas like that out there!!!
Yes exactly. This would be like Fox News coming on air everyday and being like “gee, hope nothing happens to the CNN building today because if it was suddenly destroyed, then we, Fox News would be the number one news.” CNN would freak out, yet it’s seemingly okay for them to be saying what they are today.
Fox News is the number one news network already.
Yes…They Do Need To Answer…Legally And Civilly …For Abusing Their Reach By Irresponsibly Using The Airways To Instigate The Assassination Of Our Incoming President…His Vice President And Others…
WTH WHY DO THEY WANT TO GO THERE FOR. IF THEY GET (CNN)assassinated who would take their place FOX NEWS! !!! YES THEY WOULD!!!
I simply cannot believe CNN did a story on such a horrible thought! What is going on with the “hatred” and “bias” that is now going on in our country that is certainly being created by the left? Enough is enough – promoting ideas like this on a news program will only create more hatred and unrest in our country. Give President-elect Trump a chance and let him “Make America Great”. The hatred stems from their fear that President-elect Trump will do what he says and America will be Great Again in spite of all of this!!!
Call the FCC and demand CNN go off the air: 1 (888) 225-5322. Time for us to start pushing back .
Yes… cat…Indeed! Folks… Give The FCC That Call!
CNN- you are the MOST ANTI-AMERICAM STATION OUT THERE! GO AWAY-YOU ARE DESTROYING AMERICA!!!!!!!!!
YOU ARE THE MOST ANTI-AMERICAN ANTI-NEWS NETWORK OUT THERE-I WILL APPLAUD THE DAY YOU AND YOUR SUPPORTERS GO BANKRUPT!!!!
CNN have you lost your mind.. you are just like a child who didn’t get their way… you are pouting by even talking about this… I applaud President Elect Trump for his stance on fake news!!!!
This sounds like a conspirousy for some sort of treason. Get it together. There is going to be so much security around it is going to be hard to get a picture taken.
What if we discuss who replaces WOLF BLITZER if WOLF is assassinated? What if he’s paralyzed, will he work from a wheelchair? If his wounds are visible on his face would they have to wait il they heal? IS THIS NEWS LIKE CNN TALKING ABOUT ASSASSINATING TRUMP? CNN IS EVIL.
So if WOLF BLITZER AND OTHER CNN REPORTERS ARE ASSASSINATED who will replace them? They talk about assassinating Trump but what if someone assassinated WOLF BLITZER or other dishonest reporters? Just a hypothetical question. Who would replace Wolf? How does it feel CNN if people talk about YOU getting assassinated? CNN IS SO CORRUPT!
These guys at CNN are disgusting pieces of filth. I hope karma turns around to bite them in the derierre and may they plunge into oblivion and never recover.
Jealousy over Fox News.
Losers to the max. Grow up and accept the fact that trump is the winner by the American people
Obviously. No one wanted another democrat in office
Jump on board and have some respect. You’re lucky to have a job reporting. Get it right dishonest people
Anything for ratings from THE CORRUPT NETWORK NEWS they truly corrupt and filthy people who like the lying leftist pigs Dems want to divide us as well as take our Rights from us.
PLEASE call the FCC and register a formal complaint! CNN MUST be removed immediately from the airwaves!
I totally agree,these people are sick
Call the FCC and demand CNN go off the air: 1 (888) 225-5322
Let CNN keep shooting themselves in the foot as a reminder to the larger public who they are. We are better than that.
Anyone who hasn’t had this thought is completely closed to reality, Trump supporter or not.
I agree, ALL possibilities must be examined or entertained BUT I believe it’s inappropriate for CNN to report, discuss and justify hypotheticals like this as insightful journalism.
Thinking about it and putting it out there for others to hear is totally different. You know I really think that freedom of speech is our own worst enemy sometimes. It’s one thing to protest, but when you have a news channel like CNN blatantly suggest the “what if” scenario I think that takes it to a whole new level. If something like that were to happen I wonder how they would feel. Would they feel remorse for even suggesting that or would they crawl back into their hole and hide from the revolution that they started. Trust me this would not end well for either party!
That’s sick! Disgusting! CNN should be banned from the airways! Sounds like an assassination plot to me!
Fuck CNN fake news! This is disgusting behavior! CNN should be banned by FCC. Or at very least he should be fired. This kind of talk may embolden one of the lunatic liberals that love piece of shit Obama, to act on this. Obama and his cronies would not be left in power because there are procedures in place to appoint new president
How in the world can this “Site” continue with the CRAP the are putting out!!!!!! This is not a news source! This is Clinton News Network!!!!! Ashamed!!!!!!
CNN. SOON TO BE FINISHED….
the WORD is BLACKOUT cnn ( CarcinogenicNewsNetwork )
Too funny.. then maybe we should just totally reject Trump for the hundreds of lies he’s told in the last year and for the thousands of people and businesses he has defrauded during his career.
ANDY, DON’T WORRY!!
We already did reject a TRUE charlatan, swindler, fraud, lying, dishonest, deceitful, corrupt, two faced candidate, and that was HILLARY!!!
C’mon Andy time to grow up pal
Andy Where Are You Getting Your Info About Trump…CNN?
What , and put Hillary in with her murder for hire program, of keep Obama with his racist BLM thugs who would love to be turned loose to kill, rape, and pillage.
WHAT THE HELL!!!!!
Good God….What the hell is wrong with these people!
Totally irresponsible on the part of CNN…With all the leftie crazies out there all we need is someone to suggest how to keep the left in power. If something happens these two should be immediately jailed and CNN held responsbile
cnn should lose all licenses to broadcast. Period. They are so biased and full of bullsh_t. They have lost all credibility.
Are you fxxing serious? Is this an invitation for sone wacko out there to do this?? I know CNN hate Republicans and really hates Trump, but to go this far??? They need to be punished with some sort of sanctions. I will never turn CNN on again!!!!
I’m sorry but where is the video of it??? As bad as CNN is I don’t believe they would go that far
I thought CNN was the Crybaby News Network? They need to be spanked!
What are these two idiots at CNN doing, instigating an assassination plot? If it were the other way around and Obama or Hillary were fixing to be sworn into office and Fox were to do as CNN is now doing, all the mainstream media would be yelling for heads to roll. I have a few words of advice for Wolfe and Todd both.
What you are advocating is an assassination of the duly elected President of the United States. This would cause many gun owning patriots much grief and they would most likely descend on Washington just as the original patriots did once before. So here is my advice, you better hope there are no snags in tomorrow’s ceremonies for you sake and the rest of you liberal idiots.
where is the video? is this fake news?

Wolf,according to the Bible this amounts to having committed Murder. Please repent except you are a Muslim like Obamfa
How coincidental that when so many democrats are boycotting the inauguration, that CNN now pushes a story ‘suggesting’ that someone could assassinate a President elect. Is this journalism or is it inciting violence, which in itself is a crime.
I was thinking the same thing.. Do these (D) congressmen and congresswomen know something is up and maybe that’s real reason they’re not attending? Jerks
WHY OS NOT THEIR LONCENCE REVOKED THIS IS HIGH TREASON AND IT INVOKES NUTS OUT THERE TO DOTRY TO DO JUST THAT THIS IS A CRIMINAL ACT – A CLASS X FEKINT CARRYING THE DEATH SENTENCE
Where is the fbi..sounds like CNN is trying to provoke the phyco’s that watch them,some crazy far left nut..they should be pulled off the air immediately!!..sickos..I can’t believe anyone even watches CNN..
CNN why not take this opportunity to become a REAL and FAIR news source! we are so tired of one lie after another….it’s been proven nearly everyday! no reliability and a lot of HATE…..so sad….
Shame on you these filth at CNN need to be jailed for a long time
Well it looks like cnn has sunk even lower than they were before.A whole new level of low.I wonder if they could be charged for inciting to riot,or threatening our president? At the very least,the fcc should pay them a visit and maybe read to them a bit from the book of threats in regards to false news and maybe collusion with domestic terrorists.
The whole scenario is garbage. The presidential succession goes from the Vice President to the Speaker of the House and then to the President pro tem of the Senate and then to the Secretary of State. It is hilarious that these “experts” on CNN do not know basic transition….
Thanks, Barry, for finally clearing up the ignorance of the line of succession. I do not believe this is real news otherwise there would be a film clip. So much bs.
CNN, YOU’RE A DISGRACE!!
This is very disturbing coming from CNN, Blitzer and correspondent Brian Todd throwing out scenarios where Trump and Pence are assassinated before taking office. They are really messed up in the head. There’s lots of crazies out there and you’re filling them with your ill mental thoughts. All liberal networks need to be terminated including CNN.
To broadcast that evil scenario is paramount to giving a thief the code for the bank vault and then when a robbery occurs saying” I didn’t tell him to steal the contents”. Suggestion is a cheerleader for action!
Some of Hillary’s supporters are hot headed villains lacking a moral compass and a well formed conscience. They have demonstrated their ilk through their violent demonstrations, inane statements and Dishonorable choices.
CNN just put the last nail in their coffin. They lack the ability to recognize and report news, and people are beginning to see them for what they are. I used to watch them but nevermore.
CNN should be removed from the air they are not only sore about the outcome of the election actually giving people ideas to commit crime of assassination of the president-elect and the president elect this sort of Behavior should be outlawed and the guilty party should be arrested and thrown in jail it’s a shame that some of them are out there will be mentally disconnected from society and I actually think that that is something he needs to do I hope that the security levels that are in place during the inauguration can block any such activity and catch the people and punish them the tried to do anything
Writ to the FCC and file a complaint write down their advertisers and send them letters don’t buy from those advertisers. Remember, there are a lot of people who voted for Trump/Pence, a fall in revenue or loss of advertisers gets their attention.
CNN, needs to be shut down immediately for airing evil assassination scenario of Trump and Pence and Wolf Blitzer and correspondent Brian Todd should be arrested. Stop feeding the trolls to react on your words CNN.. CNN, is mentally disturb.
Shame on CNN ,as if there are not eneough enemies out there and the way the World is today.Its time to stop spreading hatred ideas scenarios and start spreading love and reunite USA ideas instead!!!
❤❤❤
The largest media conglomerate can obviously do as they please ie…commit acts of treason, incite rebellion commit attempted murder. At least now we have an American President instead of a muslim traitor. Free speech does not allow itself to acts of terrorism and this is just that.
when president elect die the vice become the president then majority leader scary this reporter acting with alzheimer government officials just be allowed to run 2 terms seriously hx alzheimer can start as early 58y/o even the supreme court justice I question their judgement like judge robert voting for obamacare seriously did you read it ? your premium will increase 300 % your co payment 100%
