CNN’s MAGA mouthpiece Scott Jennings faced a chorus of laughter from fellow panelists for his latest Trumpy hot take. Mediaite founder Dan Abrams and Deja Foxx react to Jennings' defense of Trump. While most people balked at the idea of Trump withholding funding to achieve this enforced honor, Jennings set about defending the president on CNN NewsNight on Thursday evening. This point instigated a furor, with Mediaite founder Dan Abrams saying, “I can’t believe you’re actually defending this one. “He’s a two-term president!” Jennings barked, “He’s gonna get something.”
