Jennings to Audie Cornish Saying it’s a ‘Christian Thing’ to Call Jordan Neely the Victim: ‘Are You Saying I’m Not a Christian?’

GERALDO: “The worst thing, it was a negligent — criminally negligent homicide.”
CORNISH: “Can I ask you a question — “
GERALDO: “I want to — I want to make this point. Because Alvin Bragg has been the nemesis of Donald Trump, any criticism of Bragg automatically becomes political. I don‘t mean it to be political. I worked in that office. So did my daughter, who — the sister of the one who works here. This prosecutor made a political decision to go after this white Marine because of his constituency. And I think that he really — “
CORNISH: “Can I ask you a question related to this then? What do you say to the parents of a victim who dies in this circumstance? You just say, ‘Hey, sorry?’”
CHAMPION: “And Bragg is not the first, nor will he be the last.”
CORNISH: “This is not me saying it‘s good or bad, but prosecutors do go after people all the time for a variety of things.”
JENNINGS: “You keep referring — you keep referring to Neely as the victim. I think Penny is the victim in this case, and I think the people on that — I think people on the train are the victims.”
CORNISH: “I have a tendency to call the people who die a victim. We have different ideas about that. But to my mind, someone lost a child and I‘m always going to feel for that person. That‘s just how I‘m built. It‘s like a Christian thing. But the reason why I‘m asking is — “
JENNINGS: “Are you saying — are you saying I‘m not a Christian?”
CORNISH: “I‘m not at all. I just want to make sure that you understand it‘s a values-based comment.”
JENNINGS: “Are you saying I don‘t have any values?”
CORNISH: “Not a political one.”
JENNINGS: “Are you saying I don‘t have any values?”
AVLON: “No, Scott, she is not saying that. Stop it.”
CORNISH: “But he needs a clip for the internet, so I need to, like — yeah, exactly. (Laughter) But in the meantime, the reason why I‘m saying it is because what do you say to a family when someone has died and you‘re the prosecutor? Would you just say — “
GERALDO: “There was so much dysfunction surrounding the person who died on the subway that I think that to bring in the family argument, although I absolutely agree that everybody has family, everybody has someone who cares about them, or do they?”
