Transcript from ChatGPT: Q: What do you expect the next couple of months to be like once he's in? A: Well, look, he has an opportunity here to try to unite the country after a huge victory. This is a mandate. He's won the national popular vote for the first time for a Republican since 2004. This is a big deal. He isn’t just backing into office; this is a mandate to do what he said he would do: get the economy working again for regular working-class Americans, fix immigration, try to get crime under control, and reduce chaos in...

A panel of CNN political reporters were stunned into stony silence after their Republican pundit spelled out why ordinary Americans voted for Donald Trump. Scott Jennings, 47, has been praised for telling the 'absolute unadulterated truth' by describing the election result as 'revenge of the regular old working-class American' who feels like they have been demonized by the Left as 'garbage' and 'Nazis'. Viewers were quick to point out the 'look of horror on the other commenters faces', including flagship CNN anchor Anderson Cooper, as they wordlessly stared at Jennings while his words hit home.

'This is a mandate. He's won the national popular vote for the Republicans for the first time since 2004. This is a big deal. 'This isn't backing into the office. This is a mandate to do what you said you were going to do: get the economy working again for regular working-class Americans, fix immigration, try to get crime under control, try to reduce the chaos in the world. 'This is a mandate from the American people to do that. I'm interpreting the results tonight as revenge of just the regular old working-class American, the anonymous American who has been...

Jennings’ harshest critics believe that Trump doesn’t merit a defense and are angry that CNN even provides a regular platform for one. “He is completely MAGA and … a really duplicitous person,” said Norm Ornstein, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute who has urged CNN to fire Jennings. “I think it’s a bad model, and I think he represents the worst of it.”

Scott Jennings, CNN senior political commentator: I think, first of all, I don't know John Kelly, but I agree. I think he's an honorable person. His family and his son certainly made the ultimate sacrifice for the country. So, he certainly earned an opinion here. And he's earned a political opinion. But I think like everything else with Donald Trump, opinions vary, whether you're coming out of the military or the private...

Wednesday on CNN, network contributor Scott Jennings derided Vice President Kamala Harris for her comments criticizing Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) amid Hurricane Milton’s track to his state’s west coast. Jenning called Harris’ move a “big campaign mistake,” noting that Harris’ comments contradicted President Joe Biden’s remarks about the Florida governor. “In all of your public communications, no matter what you’re doing, you have to always show that American people that you have their fellow citizens in your heart,” Jennings said. “I mean, this is the kind of historic storm that some people aren’t going to survive it. There’s going to...

CNN host Scott Jennings believes President Joe Biden is attempting to sabotage Democratic nominee Kamala Harris' campaign after calling her 'a major player' . The Kentucky-born political strategist took to X to share the wild theory hours after Biden's surprise appearance in the press briefing room on Friday. Eagle-eyed viewers noticed that the President was very insistent about Harris being a full participant in everything their cabinet were doing.

The screencap says it all. That's Sarah Longwell, founder of Republican Voters Against Trump, literally pointing her finger [as she repeatedly did] at Republican Scott Jennings on today's CNN This Morning. The subject was antisemitism, and Jennings was quadruple-teamed, with the three panelists plus host Kasie Hunt arguing that right-wing antisemitism is more of a problem than the left-wing version. Far-left activist Maya Wiley summed up the Democrat argument this way: "We cannot compare organized white, extremism -- I'm saying this as white supremacy, neo-Nazism -- and equate that to kids on a college campus struggling with very difficult issues."Funny...

CNN pundit Scott Jennings accused the network of allowing comments by Donald Trump to repeatedly be taken out of context to stoke fear and anger. The senior political commentator argued CNN has let the Kamala Harris mischaracterize comments by Trump in a way that is 'designed to radicalize' his critics. Jennings, a Republican, made the comments during a panel the day after an apparent second assassination on the former Republican president, who has claimed rhetoric by Democrats is putting him in danger.

CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings fired back at commentator Maria Cardona on Monday after she claimed voters view Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump as an “extremist.”Cardona said on CNN News Central that voters believe they “deserve better” than Trump as they detest his alleged lying and how supposedly misaligned his policies are with the American people. Jennings suggested that the former president would win the electoral college since the candidates were tied nationally in the polls. (snip) “What I’m saying is that women can go into a polling booth, with more than one thought in their head, Scott,” Cardona...

When CNN This Morning host Kasie Hunt brings in a Republican and a Democrat to discuss the campaign, that would be two spins. But at the end of today's chat with Republican Scott Jennings and Democrat Brad Woodhouse, Hunt raised her arms, and told viewers: "Scott is giving you spin. That is what they are going to say."Jennings had just said "she's always been better at getting money that votes. I mean, not a single person has ever voted for her for this. And yet, here she has it. So, good job." That is indisputably true on the national level....

Progressive-Left commentator gives an objective rundown of the day’s events. Even praising Trump for his “heroic” conduct. And thanking God he’s okay.

Saturday, during CNN’s coverage of an attempt to take the life of former President Donald Trump, CNN contributor Scott Jennings told his colleagues the hyperbole from media and Democrats about a potential second presidency has consequences. “Think about what you just said — we are one inch, one inch from something far more terrible tonight,” Jennings said. “I mean, the country is already shocked, and we are in bad need of healing and unity in this country, but we were one inch from something far worse. Republicans, I’m hearing from tonight, are shocked. They are worried about our country. They...

Despite everyone with functioning brains witnessing that an apparent assassination attempt just occurred on former President Donald Trump’s life on video, CNN instead ran a headline making it seem like tripped. Yes, you read that right.

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod said Saturday on CNN’s coverage of the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump that he will be greeted as a “martyr” by supporters when he attends next week’s Republican National Convention. Axelrod said, “I think this is a bracing moment for our country, and hopefully a moment for reflection where everybody kind of pulls back from the abyss so we don’t see this as a recurring event.”

VIDEONever Trumper George Conway appeared on a CNN panel in the wake of the Trump Kangaroo Court trial verdict. First he started bloviating about "justice" but then got slapped with a very depressing (for him) reality check by establishment type Republican Scott Jennings. What sent Conway over the edge is the sudden realization that Jennings and most other Republicans who have been lukewarm about Trump have been converted into Trump defenders due to the over the top injustice of the Manhattan Lawfare trial. It sent Conway so far over the edge that he looked like he was about to cry...

Political commentator Scott Jennings said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” that former President Donald Trump is an “&-+$#@$” for asking where his competitor, Republican presidential candidate former Gov. Nikki Haley’s (R-SC) husband was when he was serving overseas in the U.S. military. At a campaign rally, Trump said, “Where’s her husband? Oh, he’s away. He’s away. What happened to her husband? what happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone.”

It's pretty weird when CNN provides a platform for someone to speak positiviely about a Republican candidate. But CNN This Morning gave its political commentator Scott Jennings an unfettered five minutes to sing the praises of Tim Scott. The Republican senator from South Carolina has announced that he will be creating a presidential exploratory committee—a prelude to formally throwing his hat into the ring. With no pushback from the hosts, Jennings offered a wide array of upbeat comments about Scott. For example: He's one of the most well-liked and beloved Republicans in the country. I mean, everywhere he speaks, everywhere...

On New Day, CNN political commentator and former adviser to President George W. Bush said it was "crazy rhetoric" for Marjorie Taylor Greene to have said that the Catholic Church is controlled by Satan in regard to its assistance to immigrants. Jennings says her statement would play well with her base, but not with the broader electorate. Video at linked tweet.

Last week, Beshear vetoed Senate Bill 83, legislation that would restrict girls’ high school and college sports to only those students whose birth certificate registered them as female. ... With that veto, along with vetoes striking down bans on teaching critical race theory and abortions after 15-weeks, a governor who had previously kept his head down in our national culture wars jumped out of the left-wing foxhole with a fixed bayonet.
