CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings on Tuesday accused President Joe Biden and others at the Democratic National Convention (DNC) of advancing falsehoods about former President Donald Trump’s support of Project 2025.

Biden suggested Project 2025 is part of Trump’s platform during his Monday late-night DNC address, despite the former president and his campaign denying he is in favor of the document. Jennings, on “CNN Newsroom,” noted Trump has disavowed Project 2025 after host Abby Phillip said the DNC is attempting to convince its audience the former president is linked to the document.(RELATED: Kamala Plots To Distance Herself From Biden Days After KJP Called Them ‘Critical Partners’)

WATCH:

“They had Mallory McMorrow, that [Michigan] state legislator who kind of became a social media star, come out with a giant book that said Project 2025 on it and they’re going to make that a theme every day of this convention,” Phillip said. “So there’s a positive message of freedom, but they’re also really trying to hang that giant book, Project 2025, around Donald Trump’s neck. And they have a captive audience for it.”

“Yeah, and an audience willing to buy a bunch of lies. I mean, Donald Trump has disowned this. He has no part of it,” Jennings said. “He has his own agenda. Throughout all the speeches, there were attacks on Donald Trump that are not rooted in reality, but this convention wants to hear it. What was amazing to me about the whole night, and particularly Joe Biden’s speech, is just what a fabricated reality he lives in, and what a fabricated reality they want their base to live in, because the reality is this is not Trump’s agenda. They come out with this massive cartoonish oversized prop. But the whole point is to make the whole crowd of people believe something that’s not true.”

McMorrow took the DNC stage Monday while holding a massive book with the cover of Project 2025, calling it a “plan to turn Donald Trump into a dictator,” according to Detroit Free Press.

Heritage Foundation President Dr. Kevin Roberts told the Daily Caller in July that Project 2025 is supposed to be a “restaurant menu” to help the next Republican president to choose policy and personnel. Trump has asserted he has no knowledge of Project 2025 and that he has no involvement in it, even criticizing some of the document’s contents.

Project 2025’s leader, Paul Dans, stepped down in July as he had always intended to, the Caller reported.

“Reports of Project 2025’s demise would be greatly welcomed and should serve as notice to anyone or any group trying to misrepresent their influence with President Trump and his campaign— it will not end well for you,” Trump campaign senior advisers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita wrote in a statement.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
