Okay, so here's the deal. Scott Jennings. The guy's gotta be wondering if he accidentally signed a lifetime contract to be the designated punching bag for every CNN panel discussion. I mean, seriously, is there a clause in his contract that says he has to be publicly humiliated at least once a week?
It's getting brutal.
First, we got the Changpeng Zhao pardon situation. Trump, in peak Trump fashion, claims he doesn't even know the guy he pardoned. Right. Sure. It's not like Zhao's company, Binance, invested a cool $2 billion in the Trump family's crypto venture or anything. Jennings tries to defend this, arguing Trump probably didn't "personally" know Zhao.
The response? Open laughter. Straight-up mockery from Jared Moskowitz and David Hogg. Hogg even chimes in with a sarcastic, "It’s totally above board, obviously!" Moskowitz follows with "'A' for effort." Ouch. CNN Panel Laughs in Scott Jennings’ Face Over His Excuse for Trump’s Bombshell Pardon
You almost feel bad for Jennings. Almost. But then you remember he's a GOP strategist, and the feeling passes pretty quickly.
But wait a minute... how is it possible to invest $2 billion in a company without someone, somewhere, knowing something about it? Is Trump really that clueless, or is he just playing us all? Or is it both?
Then comes the election night beatdown. Democrats sweep. Jennings, looking like he just ate a lemon, tries to downplay it. "These are blue states," he says. "Democrats were supposed to win." Uh-huh. Tell that to the MAGA crowd currently having a meltdown on Twitter.
He then pivots to AOC supposedly "whooping" Chuck Schumer in 2028. Okay, maybe that's a little more plausible. But then he claims Zohran Mamdani is "now the leader of their party."
That's when the laughter erupts again. CNN Team Straight Up Laughs At Scott Jennings’s Take On Dem Victory
Anderson Cooper, bless his bewildered heart, even asks, "He’s the leader of the Democratic party?"
Van Jones is practically in tears laughing. David Axelrod calls Mamdani "a life raft for Republicans who have to go on TV and get their a--es kicked today."
Jennings' response? A stone-faced, "You own this now. You all own this now."
It's like watching a slow-motion train wreck. You know it's going to be bad, but you can't look away. Is Jennings just that out of touch? Is he deliberately playing the role of the sacrificial lamb for the conservative cause? Or does he genuinely believe the stuff he's saying?
I mean, let's be real, being a talking head on cable news is a thankless job. You're paid to have an opinion, even if it's a terrible one. And you're expected to defend that opinion, even when you know you're wrong. But Jennings seems to take it to another level. He's not just defending bad takes; he's actively inviting ridicule.
Look, I ain't saying Jennings is a bad guy. Maybe he's just trying to do his job. But at what cost? Is it worth sacrificing your dignity for a few minutes of airtime? Is it worth becoming the laughingstock of cable news?
Maybe he secretly enjoys it. Maybe he gets a kick out of being the guy everyone loves to hate. Or maybe he's just really, really good at compartmentalizing. Honestly, I don't know. But at this point, it's less about the politics and more about the spectacle. It's performance art, offcourse.
Seriously, though, how much longer can this go on? At some point, Jennings has to realize he's being used. Or maybe he already knows, and he just doesn't care. Which, honestly, might be the most depressing thought of all.
