CNN panelist dares Scott Jennings to perform Musk salute on live TV
The Hill ^ | 01/28/2025 | Dominick Mastrangelo

CNN political analyst Scott Jennings and Washington Post columnist Catherine Rampell got into a heated debate on Monday over billionaire Elon Musk’s widely-debated gesture during an inaugural event for President Trump last week.

“I don’t understand why this guy keeps getting the benefit of the doubt, whether or not he believes this stuff, personally,” Rampell said while appearing on CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip.

“We’ve moved on from Trump derangement syndrome to Elon derangement syndrome,” Jennings quipped in response. “So, he has a long record of supporting the Jewish people, number one. Number two, anybody who is asserting this thing he did on the stage the other day was a Sieg Heil, which I just heard you say, you know, lawyer up maybe because, [it is an] absolute ridiculous thing to say.”

Rampell then dared Jennings to “do it on TV right now.”

Jennings wasn’t in a stadium of people saying we love Scott, so why would he do a from my heart to your’s salute?

Context matters.

These demented idiots are beyond words. You can’t take them seriously but rust never sleeps and commies never stop being commies. Just ask John Brennan.

At this point I think about half of CNN’s viewership is conservatives looking for outrageous behavior to post about. Who else watches that sad little network?

Musk had the best response.

“Apparently I am a Zionist and a Nazi at the same time”

The Israeli Prime Mister Netanyahu said it was a “baseless smear”

That the Alt Left clown show is still harping on the obvious lie removes any credibility they might think they have as commentators

These leftist twits get paid to spread false narratives day after day. Now they’re calling Musk a Nazi. Waiting for someone to call them liars.

Well, to be fair, 0.1% of America watches it.

I look for him on YouTube from time time like Katie Holmes.

Rampell then dared Jennings to “do it on TV right now.”

But did he double-dog dare Jennings to do it?!

The panelists usually know the topics to be discussed ahead of time. He should’ve taken a printout of the montage of Hillary, AOC, Obama, Kamala, etc., doing the same thing. Don’t know why he didn’t do that.

I always provide a Sieg Heil when I see Hillary on TV or on the internet. It’s an old habit which the wife detests.

One can capture a freeze frame of politicians of all stripes using all sorts of raised hand gestures to interact with a crowd. The whole thing is ridiculous.
