David Vigilante Donald Trump

Donald Trump’s presidential campaign in June 2020 asked CNN to retract and apologize for a poll that showed Joe Biden with a 14-point lead. On June 8, Trump said that he retained pollster John McLaughlin to refute the claims.

David C. Vigilante wrote a response letter saying that it was the first time CNN has been threatened with legal action after an American politician didn’t like CNN polling results.

“To my knowledge, this is the first time in its 40 year history that CNN has been threatened with legal action because an American politician or campaign did not like CNN’s polling results.”

He also criticized McLaughlin, noting that in 2014 “his firm famously reported that Eric Cantor was leading his primary challenger Dave Brat by 34 points only to lose by 11 points — a 45 point swing. The firm currently has a C/D rating from FiveThirtyEight.”

He ended the letter by writing that the Trump campaign’s letter was “factually and legally baseless.”

“It is yet another bad faith attempt by the campaign to threaten litigation to muzzle speech it does not want voters to read or hear.”
