The race to replace Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) may soon be blown wide open in a big way, according to a report that Scott Jennings is mulling whether to launch his own campaign. The pro-Trump CNN commentator stands ready and at the president’s service should he be needed, Jennings said last week. “If the president wants me, I’ll run,” he told a reporter during a Washington, D.C., afterparty following the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Leveraging President Donald Trump’s support in a state he won by over 30 points last year is critical to winning Kentucky’s Republican primary, a sharp-elbowed affair...

CNN’s Scott Jennings was having none of the hand-wringing on Monday’s panel discussion over the Trump administration’s handling of the deportation of MS-13 gang member Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia — the latest cause célèbre of the radical left. While the liberals on the panel tiptoed around legal technicalities and rhetorical posturing, Jennings delivered a blunt reality check that left the rest of the table scrambling. Anchor Abby Phillip tried to tee up criticism of Trump by focusing on “the optics” of sending “Americans” to El Salvador — even though Abrego Garcia is an illegal immigrant. But Jennings wasn’t distracted. “Yes....

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings laid into the Democrats who are calling for Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s ouster over the Signal-chat SNAFU that resulted in The Atlantic Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg being added to a chat group discussing military strikes on Houthi terrorists. In the wake of President Donald Trump’s assurance that he does not plan to fire anyone over the Signal incident, Jennings joined Sunday’s broadcast of “State of the Union” and pointed out the hypocrisy of Democrats who were calling for Hegseth’s head despite remaining silent when military leadership under President Joe Biden made decisions that resulted in the...

Scott Jennings DESTROYS DEI and EXPOSES Black CNN Hosts as Perpetual Victims!

SCOTT JENNINGS: This is -- he's describing what is currently the dumbest strategy in politics, which is Democrats taking the 20 percent side of every 80-20 issue in America. USAID, people want this pared down. They want to streamline. They want to know where the money is going, Democrats have a meltdown. Today, Donald Trump signs an executive order on keeping boys out of girls' sports, and Democrats take the 20 side of that issue as well. All these issues, this is like Trump's superpower, finding a bunch of 80-20 issues, getting on the 80, and everybody who's sort of...

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...

CNN analyst Scott Jennings was among those ripping the “farce” of President Biden’s farewell address late Wednesday -– as others panned the bitter goodbye remarks as the “worst in presidential history.” The reactions poured in as the country’s oldest-ever president attempted to take a victory lap despite his administration’s failings leaving him the octogenarian with record-low popularity. “When I watch this tonight, I remain astonished that he, his family and other people around him thought he could ever run for another term,” Jennings, who worked in the George W. Bush administration, told CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360.” “There’s no way he...

I would have written about this one yesterday, but I was enjoying the experience of getting a colonoscopy. But the story is still timely and, more importantly, a perfect example of how the Democrats and the Pravda Media create a nasty hoax out of an innocent event. I am speaking of the Great Handshake Controversy of January 6th. It was, according to the left, a very dark day in American history. Scott Jennings snarkily called it the High Holy Day of January 6th. This time the horror that must be expressed was not the storming of the Capitol building but...

CNN anchor Kate Bolduan told conservative colleague Scott Jennings to “zip it” during an on-air dispute with a Democrat-supporting pundit who claimed that “prices are going down.” Bolduan hosted a segment ahead of the certification of President-elect Donald Trump’s victory on Monday in which she, Jennings and Bakari Sellers debated President Joe Biden’s legacy and the events of Jan. 6, 2021. Jennings, a former aide to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), pushed back when Bolduan expressed amazement that Trump was re-elected despite his role in the events at the US Capitol four years ago. “They looked at what happened...

Jimmy Carter’s passing, the left has gone to absurd and Orwellian lengths to rewrite his legacy, attempting to transform him into a mythical great president. However, those who lived through his presidency know better. ... It really is up to us to cut through all the noise of the obligatory tributes that are pouring in to make sure that his failings aren’t forgotten. Among those who aren’t using Carter’s death as an excuse to forget those failings is CNN commentator Scott Jennings, who minced no words in labeling Carter a “terrible president” with a “big ego.” Jennings argued that Carter’s...

CNN’s resident conservative commentator Scott Jennings heartily dismissed rosy predictions from his liberal colleagues about President Biden’s legacy, contending the 82-year-old will end his presidency “in disgrace,” during a lively panel debate. Fellow panelist, Democrat Karen Finney, got Jennings going on Sunday by positing that Biden’s record and accomplishments will “stand the test of time,” despite legitimate issues with his mental acuity. “It was very disturbing to learn late in the year about just how bad, how poor his health has become. And like many, I did not realize that it had gotten to that point,” Finney insisted on a...

CNN contributor Scott Jennings said Tuesday on “News Central” that the Democratic Party lost in the November election because they had become the party of “uncommon nonsense.” Network analyst Maria Cardona said, “This was not a sweeping mandate. Donald Trump didn’t even break 50% of the popular vote. I’m not saying that Democrats don’t have challenges, absolutely we have challenges in how we communicated and where we communicated and to whom we communicated. But I do not agree that the Democratic Party brand is in as much trouble as both of these folks are talking about.”

Conservative commentator Scott Jennings has been asked to join the editorial board of The Los Angeles Times, much to the annoyance of liberals. Jennings, who has long been a vocal support of president-elect Donald Trump on CNN, was asked by owner of the newspaper Pat Soon-Shiong who announced the move on X. Soon-Shiong posted after Jennings sparked a heated debate on CNN earlier this week after he called the social media site the 'most ideologically balanced'.

Defiant L’s @DefiantLs Scott Jennings is awesome!

VIDEOA lot of people think that Morning Joe and Mika completely humiliated themselves by being forced to kiss Trump's ring at Mar-a-Lago. However, their humiliation was way way WORSE than you can even imagine. Here is Morning Joe explaining to us from the Humorverse, where all are forced to tell only the complete truth, what really happened after he and Mika crawled their way to Mar-a-Lago.

Monday on CNN’s “Newsnight,” network contributor Scott Jennings reacted to the meetings President-elect Donald Trump hosted with President Joe Biden and MSNBC personalities Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski. Jennings noted the campaign rhetoric labeling Trump and his supporters “fascists” and even in some cases as “Hitler.” He argued such meetings did not suggest that Trump was Hitlerian. “I’m amazed,” Jennings said. “I did not expect Hitler to get so many meeting requests. First from Joe Biden, now from Mika and Joe. It’s amazing that literally, Hitler is getting all these meeting requests. And what it tells me, Professor, is that...

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.”
