CNN’s Scott Jennings, the lone conservative voice on the network, recently ripped his fellow panelists for trying to cover for Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.
Abby Phillip and others on the panel were trying to suggest that Walz is calling for peace, which is ridiculous. Jennings reminded them of some of the rhetoric Walz has used in recent weeks, which was obviously meant to inflame.
What these people are engaging in so blatantly dishonest. It’s so great that Jennings called them out to their faces.
PJ Media has details:
Host Abby Phillip played clips of Walz urging peaceful protest and rejecting violence. But commentator Scott Jennings called her out for cherry-picking quotes.
“Okay, you cherry-picked a handful of comments,” Jennings shot back. “Did you play the comment where he said, ‘We’re under a federal occupation?’”
Phillip tried to deflect, asking whether calling Minnesota occupied territory actually constitutes inciting violence.
“Of course it is,” Jennings responded. “What does that language sound like to you? You have Walz and Frey and Flanagan and the rest of these Democrats in Minnesota radicalizing and propagandizing their constituency, telling them things that aren’t true.”…
“And what has happened?” Jennings continued. “One lady went out and got into a very, very sad and unfortunate situation.”
Then he started listing violent incidents that followed Walz’s heated rhetoric about “federal occupation.”
“Three Venezuelan illegals came out and tried to beat an ICE agent to death with a shovel,” he recounted. “Hordes of people on the street vandalized and raided ICE vehicles and stole weapons, Kevlar, and documents, and […] dox people on the internet last night. Do you believe they are listening to Tim Walz when he talks about peace? Or do you think they’re listening to Tim Walz, who says we’re being occupied by the federal government?”

CNN is so awful and Scott Jennings is one of the only things that makes it sometimes watchable. Abby Phillip and the other liberals on the panel live in an alternate universe.
