We never heard from his doctors about that,&#8221; Tour\u00e9 said, triggering CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings who demanded that host Abby Phillip step in to correct the record.<\/p>\n<p>As Jennings sought the moderator, Tour\u00e9 raised his voice and continued to press his point.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;When did we hear from his doctors? When did we hear from his doctors?&#8221; he asked.<\/p>\n<p>Phillip tried to calm the clash, stating, &#8220;Hold on.

Ronny Jackson (aka ADM Jackson, aka Dr. Jackson, Obama&#8217;s and Trump&#8217;s former <em>White House physician<\/em> ) examined Trump and said the wound was from a bullet. Jackson has probably been a doctor longer than this Tour\u00e9 person has been breathing.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;But can we hear from the doctors? We would always hear from his doctors when he gets shot?&#8221; he asked.<\/p>\n<p>Phillip punted the question to Jennings. The commentator replied, &#8220;I mean, all I know is, I went to the Republican National Convention and he had a bandage on his ear.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As the pundit spoke, Tour\u00e9 kept interjecting, &#8220;That would be \u2018no.\u2019 That would be \u2018no\u2019.
