Scott Jennings, CNN’s token conservative commentator, has been on fire lately—and by fire, I mean absolutely lighting up his progressive co-panelists like a 4th of July fireworks show. The guy is a master at turning liberal talking points into ash, and during a recent panel, he managed to do just that. Jennings had the audacity (can you imagine?) to accuse his liberal colleagues of covering for antisemitism on the left. And guess what? It didn’t sit too well with the kumbaya crowd.
Jennings came armed with examples, which always helps. He cited progressive college students who, instead of using their spring semester to study something useful, spent their time throwing tantrums in campus tents and disrupting graduation ceremonies. Ah yes, nothing says “tolerant” like hijacking a graduation because your ideology can’t handle the real world. Jennings called out these actions as prime examples of the left’s growing problem with antisemitism, which, unsurprisingly, caused his liberal co-hosts to fumble for a counterargument. Spoiler: they didn’t find one.
“If you would like to discuss the gatherings of antisemitism going on in this country over the last few months, and you want to talk about who’s getting together where and what their political proclivities are, let’s talk about what’s gone on on all these college campuses. Let’s talk about what’s gone on in the streets of New York City,” Jennings stated. While his co-panelists were busy shouting over him—because, you know, nothing says “open dialogue” like trying to drown out your opponent—Jennings kept his cool. He even gave a nod to Trump’s strong pro-Israel policies, which has apparently made some Jewish voters reconsider their options.
Naturally, the liberal panelists couldn’t resist the good ol’ whataboutism. They brought up Trump’s dinner with Nick Fuentes and Kanye West (or “Ye,” depending on which personality he’s using these days). Jennings swatted that away like a pesky fly. He rightly pointed out that one dinner doesn’t hold a candle to the “thousands upon thousands of progressive activists” out in the streets, spewing antisemitic hate. You could practically see the gears grinding in their heads, but, shocker, no one had a decent rebuttal.

Jennings hit the nail on the head when he said that antisemitism is coming from the left, and trying to ignore that fact doesn’t make it any less true. He even got a grudging admission from one of his co-panelists. Talk about a mic drop.
Whether it’s calling out the media’s obsession with shielding Kamala Harris or slamming the latest “weak sauce” PR stunt, Jennings doesn’t pull any punches. The takeaway? Jennings is the voice of reason on CNN, and if the liberals on that panel can’t handle it, maybe they should stick to echo chambers where facts are optional.
democrats and news media can’t stand actual facts. Theo try to scream over the facts.
