CNN staff finally revolt over conservative commentator Scott Jennings

CNN staffers are unhappy with the behavior of the company's conservative pundit and contributor Scott Jennings, letting their displeasure at his conduct and violation of guidelines be known during a recent meeting.

According to a Friday report from Status, CNN held a staff-wide all-hands meeting to address employee concerns about the current state of the company and its uncertain future. The cable news staple is at a pivotal crossroads and faces two very different futures based on which company acquires its parent, Warner Bros. Discovery (WBD). Under Paramount, it is expected that CNN will receive an extensive MAGA-friendly makeover, similar to CBS News. But if Netflix acquires WBD, CNN would be spun off into a different company alongside the company's other linear cable channels.

Beyond that uncertain future, however, some employees took the opportunity to confront CEO Mark Thompson about Jennings, a frequently booked conservative pundit known for his open support of President Donald Trump and his tendency to get into spats with other guests.

One employee asked why Jennings was permitted to use "illegal aliens" to refer to undocumented immigrants, a phrase prohibited by CNN's editorial guidelines. Earlier this month, Jennings got into a heated exchange with fellow guest, 2018 Parkland school shooting survivor Cameron Kasky, who chastised him on air for saying U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents ought to be able to "chase down illegals" in Minnesota.

“Who are you to tell me what I can and can’t say? I’ve never met you, brother. I can say whatever I want,” Jennings said. “They’re illegal aliens. And that’s what the law calls them. Illegal aliens. That’s what I’m going to call them.”

In response to these concerns, Thompson said that contributors like Thompson are held to different standards than CNN's journalists. He also argued that the heated arguments Jennings tends to get into “public service” that captures “the actual debate and the anger and passion that’s part of the story.” Many of the concerned employees disagreed, according to Status.

As the Daily Beast noted in its report about the meeting, Democratic political operative Julie Roginsky recently raised concern over what she perceived as Jennings' tendency to act "rude, dismissive and antagonistic in ways that feel personal rather than substantive," especially when interacting with women.

“CNN should ask itself a simple question: what is Scott Jennings adding that could not be accomplished by any number of conservative analysts who are capable of making arguments without bad-faith theatrics?” Roginsky wrote. “The answer, uncomfortably, appears to be conflict for conflict’s sake. Jennings reliably generates clips and provokes reactions. And in an era when cable news executives are chasing engagement metrics, that reliability seems to matter more than integrity.”

CNN's Scott Jennings won't say Minneapolis shooting was 'wrong' in tense confrontation

Conservative CNN commentator Scott Jennings was recently on the ropes in his defense of how President Donald Trump's administration is responding to the fatal shooting of 37 year-old U.S. citizen Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

In a Tuesday segment, Jennings – who once spoke alongside Trump at a campaign rally — said Trump was "in a little bit of a strange situation" regarding last weekend's shooting, but celebrated his call for a thorough investigation. He also said he wasn't sure of what Trump meant when he said he was going to de-escalate in Minnesota.

""I would just caution all these people, you cannot let an angry mob nullify federal law in a jurisdiction if they do that," Jennings said.

At that point, New York Times podcast host Lulu Garcia-Navarro pushed back, asking Jennings if he was characterizing "the American people" as an "angry mob." Jennings doubled down on his remarks.

"These people in Minneapolis are an angry mob, whether you like it or not," he said. "They don't like the fact that the president is enforcing longstanding federal immigration law."

"Does that mean they should be shot on the street, Scott?" CNN host Kasie Hunt prodded. "That's the question we're talking about."

"No. The debate is about what the president's going to do next," he countered. "And if you were to let them win and you were to be run out of town, what do you think would happen in L.A., Chicago, New York, all over the country?"

Hunt then asked Jennings if he felt the shooting was "problematic," with Jennings agreeing. Garcia-Navarro then repeatedly asked: "Is it wrong? Is it wrong? Is it wrong?"

"Is it wrong? Was what happened to Alex Pretti on the street wrong?" Hunt asked.

"Was it wrong? I'm waiting for an investigation, which I fully support." He said. "I want an investigation. I don't like that people have died. I don't like this chaos. But I also don't like the idea that we're just going to say, well, in this one little territory, we're not going to enforce federal laws anymore. That doesn't strike me as a good idea for the president right now. So he's in a he's got a tricky situation. It's very complex. But being run out of town by an angry mob to me is not an option."

Former Democratic National Committee communications director Mo Elleithee then reminded Jennings that "there was no rush to an investigation" after Pretti shot, or after the fatal shooting of U.S. citizen Renee Good by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agent Jonathan Ross earlier this month. She also observed that Trump administration officials "at the highest level" were "blaming the victims" immediately after.

"And to Lulu's point, earlier, a lot of Americans said, 'well, if that's going to be how this plays out, then what's to stop it from being me?' That's what people are so angry about," he said. "They are angry. Not that the president is enforcing his immigration goals, that ICE is doing it in a way that is indiscriminate, that has led to violence ... You talked earlier about whether or not local officials are cooperating. It's this administration that is getting cited for contempt of court for not honoring court orders. It's this administration that is icing out the local officials when it comes to the investigations of these shootings. So I think that's what people are angry about. I'm angry about it. I don't think I'm part of a mob. I'm angry when I see my government not being accountable when it is violating virtually every, violating the constitution. In many of these cases, when it comes to due process, when it comes to search and seizure issues, that's not what even his biggest supporters voted for. And that's why you're seeing a cratering in in public support."

CNN slammed for employing 'Scumbag Scott' Jennings after he was caught misquoting Tim Walz

CNN pundit Scott Jennings — a stalwart defender of President Donald Trump and his policies — was recently caught taking a quote from Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) out of context. Now, both Jennings and his employer are being called out.

Early Thursday morning, shortly after federal agents shot a man in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Gov. Walz posted a statement to X that read: "I know you're angry. I'm angry. What Donald Trump wants is violence in the streets. But Minnesota will remain an island of decency, of justice, of community and of peace. Don't give him what he wants."

Several hours later, Jennings took one element of Walz's statement and posted it by itself to suggest that the Minnesota governor was attempting to have his state declare its independence from the federal government. He then used that misquote to justify Trump's threat to invoke the Insurrection Act.

Journalist and podcaster Brian Beutler condemned Jennings over his misquoting of Walz on Thursday, posting both Walz's quote and Jennings' tweet side-by-side. He called Jennings' post a "dishonestly truncated quote" of the Minnesota governor.

"CNN pays Scumbag Scott to peddle lies just like this one to its audience every day," Beutler said of Jennings.

Jennings — who once spoke alongside Trump at an April 2025 rally — was roundly criticized for his post. The Bulwark's Andrew Egger suggested the CNN contributor may "actually incapable of imagining a more explicit way in which a politician could say 'we're seceding.'"

"Are you really this stupid or do you just find stupidity an effective approach to the morons in your audience?" Journalist Doug Henwood posted.

Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) piled on CNN, asking the network if Jennings was their "guy," and reminded him that Walz said Minnesota was an island "of decency."

"Shame on you @ScottJennings I’m sure your grandchildren will thank you for pouring gasoline on the fire," Himes wrote.

CNN's Scott Jennings confronted with his own words after downplaying Trump's Jan. 6 claims

CNN chief political analyst David Axelrod confronted Republican pundit Scott Jennings after Jennings attempted to downplay the seriousness of President Donald Trump’s attempted coup on January 6, 2021.

“I don't treat [that day] like a national holiday like the Democrats do. It was a bad day, but I don't look forward to memorializing it every year. It's a bad day. It should never happen again,” Jennings said on “the Source” with Kaitlan Collins. “The president has a point of view on it. He's got a messaging point of view on it that he's never backed away from. And the American people, frankly, adjudicated these questions in the 2024 election. And he's a sitting president.”

Axelrod, however, has a long memory, and he recalled back when Jennings had a more serious take on Trump’s attempts to de-certify the 2020 election with the help of vice president Mike Pence and a mob of MAGA Republicans storming the Capitol.

“You and I have been friends for a long time. I've never been prouder of you than in the aftermath of that, because you were unremittingly critical of what happened,” Axelrod reminded Jennings. “You were critical of the assault on police officers. One hundred and seventy people were convicted of assaulting police officers — 65 of them with weapons — and you were eloquent in that moment.”

“Whatever you feel you have to say or do now, that [moment] will remain something that you and your kids will look back at with pride,” Axelrod added. “I hope that if a Democratic president were to do what [Trump] did that day … that I can be as eloquent as you were in criticizing a president of your own party.”

In an after-the-fact interview on January 12, 2021, Jennings previously said that Trump “is fully responsible” for the January 6 violence, as well as for a “days-long conspiracy … to try to subvert the Constitution.”

“He constructed the lie that — on which the whole crowd was based, that he actually won the election. He called them to Washington. He and other speakers that he had invited to the rally whipped them into a frenzy. He told them to go down to the Capitol. He told them that, ‘We have to go convince Mike Pence to change his mind, and we have to do it in any way we can.’ I mean, he’s responsible from soup to nuts for that crowd, and I think for the actions of that crowd,” Jennings told PBS “Frontline” about Trump’s attack on the capitol.

Trump's favorite CNN pundit gets shut down in exchange over White House ballroom

One of President Donald Trump's most consistent defenders on CNN was recently confronted over his celebration of Trump's bulldozing of the East Wing of the White House.

During the Friday episode of CNN host Kaitlan Collins' show "The Source," Collins discussed the lawsuit filed by a nonprofit group seeking to halt construction of Trump's proposed new $300 million ballroom. The National Trust for Historic Preservation in the United States alleged that the Trump administration illegally shut the public out of the process typically afforded to them when historic buildings undergo significant renovations.

"President Trump’s efforts to do so should be immediately halted, and work on the Ballroom Project should be paused until the Defendants complete the required reviews—reviews that should have taken place before the Defendants demolished the East Wing, and before they began construction of the Ballroom — and secure the necessary approvals," the lawsuit read.

In the panel discussion featuring legal analyst Elie Honig, former Obama administration official Van Jones and pro-Trump pundit Scott Jennings, (who joined Trump onstage at a 2024 campaign rally) the conservative commentator quipped that the group suing Trump over the destruction of the East Wing should feel free to "come over to the White House and pick through the rubble and try to rebuild it," and asserted that "before [Trump] leaves office, that [ballroom] is going to be sitting there legally and procedurally."

"I don't know how it's all going to play out. The man intends to build a ballroom, and I don't know what everybody has against it," Jennings said. "The existing structure was not big enough for what the president needs to do ... When he had his inaugural in the extreme cold in January, they had to do it in the [U.S. Capitol] rotunda! They could have easily done that in something like this. This is a positive thing that he is trying to do for the White House. So how's the paperwork going to go? I don't know, but I promise you they'll be a ballroom sitting there when he leaves office."

At that point, Van Jones interjected and told Jennings that regardless of how much he supports the ballroom, presidents aren't allowed to disregard rules they dislike.

"What we often hear from our Republican friends is, 'I like the outcome, so the process doesn't matter.' That's what happens in an authoritarian country. That's what happens with a dictatorship," Jones said. "It turns out the process does matter in a democracy, rules matter."

"And what if you want to make America great again? How did America get great in the first place? Rule of law. Free markets. Everybody welcome, if you follow the rules. If you have a lawless country, meaning the executive branch does whatever it wants to, you're on the path to being a banana republic," he added. "So ... maybe this big golden ball thing with golden toilets, I have no idea what he's doing. Maybe people will like it, but if it's that great, why not follow the follow the rules?"

Trump's favorite CNN pundit gets laughed at by panel after GOP loses major elections

Republican candidates in every major marquee election on Tuesday night lost by substantial margins. One MAGA-aligned pundit tried to spin the result as bad for Democrats, but one of his fellow panelists quickly countered him.

During a CNN election night panel, conservative commentator Scott Jennings — who once spoke alongside Trump at an April rally — downplayed Democratic wins in the New Jersey and Virginia gubernatorial elections. Even though moderate Democrats Abigail Spanberger and Mikie Sherrill posted double-digit margins of victory over Republicans Winsome Earle-Sears and Jack Ciattarelli, he argued that New Jersey and Virginia are blue states and that a Republican victory in either race was always a long shot.

Jennings also seized on Democrat Zohran Mamdani's decisive win in the New York City mayoral race as an opportunity for Republicans. He then offered his sarcastic "condolences" for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), predicting that Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) would unseat him in 2028.

"I see the energy in the Democratic Party tonight behind a socialist, and I see the energy in Virginia Democrats looking the other way on a violent candidate for attorney general who says he wants to murder Republicans and their children," Jennings said. "If you think you're getting rid of Graham Platner in Maine now, think again. This is a terrible night for [the] national Democratic image, given what is happening inside their party."

"Mamdani is an avowed socialist," he continued. "It's not what people say that he is, it's what he says that he is. He's now the leader of their party—"

"He's the leader of the Democratic Party?" CNN host Anderson Cooper asked incredulously.

"Well, who is the leader?" Jennings said. "Can someone tell me?"

"He's a life raft for Republicans who have to go on TV and got their a—— kicked," Democratic strategist David Axelrod interjected, as panelists laughed.

"You own this now! You own this!" Jennings continued, as Cooper talked over him to give another election night update.

'Didn't work for you': CNN analyst confronts Trump's favorite pundit on political violence

CNN political commentator Kate Bedingfield and conservative commentator Scott Jennings traded barbs during a CNN segment on Tuesday evening during a discussion on political violence in the wake of right-wing activist Charlie Kirk’s death, with Bedingfield telling Jennings he “missed the entire point."

At the beginning of the segment, CNN played Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro's (D) statement condemning political violence.

Host Kasie Hunt said, "I will note that the governor of Pennsylvania, Josh Shapiro, was someone who, when president Trump, somebody you know, was hit by a bullet in Butler, Pennsylvania, Shapiro stood up and denounced it in a clear, unequivocal way.”

“Now he's saying we do the same thing here. Do you think that he has got a point?" she asked Jennings.

"Well, I think his point would be strengthened if he were honest today about who burned his house down," Jennings replied.

"You know, it was a 'free Palestine' leftist who came and burned down the governor's mansion. He left that out. He left that out of his tweet today. And he's talking about cherry picking political violence. And we're talking about where there might be political violence. The violence against the governor of Pennsylvania and his family came from the left. There's a rush by Democrats who want to be president in 2028 to try to turn somehow Donald Trump's friend get shot. And now everybody wants to blame Donald Trump for it," Jennings said.

"I guess that's what you have to do to get elected president as a Democrat," he said.

At this, the host interjected, saying: "We are not doing that sitting here."

Bedingfiield said, "The governor's point is that it doesn't matter where the violence came from. I think it shouldn't matter the motivations of the people? It should be condemned regardless of the entire point of his speech."

Jennings replied: "Don't you care about the motivation? "

“Look, I think that if we cannot be honest, if I were him and somebody tried to burn my house down, I think I'd be honest about who did it and why they did it. And it would matter for people to know that, would it not?" He added.

Bedingfield then called Jennings out: “You would just like it if a politically critical message was applied to what he was trying to say. I mean, that's what you're saying, right?”

She added: “You're saying you like what he said in condemning political violence across the board, but it didn't work for you because you didn't try to get in a dig at whose fault it was.”

“The entire point is that we have to condemn political violence from all sides, in all stripes, in whatever form. And I think the fact that we are sitting here, even having this conversation is deeply, deeply problematic in terms of where the where the temperature is in the country right now,” she continued.

'Lies continuously': Ana Navarro wallops CNN’s Scott Jennings over Trump support

Although CNN pundits Ana Navarro and Scott Jennings are both conservative, they get into some heated debates.

Navarro, a political strategist and bilingual Nicaragua native who did a lot to sell Latino voters on GOP candidates in the past, is very much a Never Trumper — and supported Joe Biden for president in 2020 and another Democratic nominee, Kamala Harris, four years later. Jennings, however, is a strident supporter of President Donald Trump.

The two of them went at it with a vengeance during a Thursday night, May 8 broadcast hosted by CNN's Abby Philip.

When Jennings accused former President Joe Biden of lying, Navarro offered a Biden/Trump contrast — and argued that Trump tells a lot more of them.

Jennings, who is being mentioned as a possible U.S. Senate candidate in Kentucky, asked Navarro, "Do you think (Biden) has ever told a lie?" — to which she responded, "I don't think he tells many lies."

When Jennings burst out laughing, Navarro told him, "You know why you don't get to laugh like that? Because you support a guy who lies every freaking day and lies continuously. You support a guy who cannot acknowledge that he lost the 2020 election."

'Angling for a job': MAGA 'supervillain' buried after teasing US Senate campaign

CNN opinion contributor Scott Jennings, who this week appeared onstage at a Trump rally, says he would be all in if President Donald Trump asked him to run for U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell’s Kentucky seat. Jennings, a vocal Trump supporter, previously floated professional wrestler Hulk Hogan as a replacement for outgoing Senator Marco Rubio.

“If Marco Rubio does in fact become Secretary of State,” Jennings said on CNN last November, “we’re gonna need a new senator from the state of Florida. And we need someone with Rubio’s national security credentials. Now, there’s one Floridian who can do it. He stood up to the Russians and the Iranians in the 1980s when he defeated the Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkov, two of America’s most lethal foes. He is a real American. He fights for the rights of every man. He knows that courage is the thing that keeps us free. Ladies and gentlemen, I announce—Ron DeSantis, get on it—Hulk Hogan for U.S. Senate.”

Jennings has been called a “supervillain” and “cable TV’s ubiquitous MAGA Man of the Moment,” by The Daily Beast. His job on the cable TV network appears to be to start fights—and finish them—in defense of President Trump.

That favor may now be returned.

“If the president wants me, I’ll run,” Jennings reportedly has said, according to The Daily Beast. “If he wants somebody else, I’ll support that candidate.”

Jennings may be Trump’s latest choice to fill a congressional seat — or perhaps a job in the White House, as he and the President teased out on Friday:

Kentucky Republican political insiders say Jennings is a definite possibility to run for McConnell’s seat. The former Republican Leader is retiring and not running for re-election. Some note that Jennings’ website certainly looks like a political candidate’s. “Conservative Ideas. Middle America values. Fearless strategy,” it reads.

Critics are not amused.

“CNN is still standing by Scott Jennings,” wrote The Washington Post’s media reporter Jeremy Barr. “On the one hand, it’s great to have on-air contributors who are ‘close to the action.’ On the other hand, networks generally want them to maintain even an iota of distance to give their commentary more credibility.”

“Scott’s relationship with Trump has always been interesting,” Barr added. “He was once harshly critical of him and as recently as 2022 he said on CNN ‘We need a new nominee.’ But he tends to come back to Trump’s camp when he’s in power or about to be.”

Barr pointed to a piece he wrote last October: “How Scott Jennings became CNN’s go-to GOP pundit — and pugilist.”

“So his being a belligerent a-h— on CNN was all about angling for a job in the Trump administration,” wrote advocacy journalist Lauren Windsor. “Do better, @CNN.”

'Big difference': MAGA pundit gets shut down after downplaying influence of Musk’s money

CNN anchor Anderson Cooper got to the bottom of what separates massive Republican fundraiser Elon Musk and Democrat financier George Soros on Anderson Cooper Live. To former Wisconsin Lieutenant Governor Mandela Barnes, the contrast was clear.

“No Democrat has spent over a quarter million dollars in a presidential race and then inserted themselves in the daily affairs of governing,” Barnes told Cooper.

Conservative Strategist and go-to pundit Scott Jennings attempted to corral Soros and Musk under the same category, arguing both billionaires filled the same role.

“Republicans now have all these voters who are in the party, low propensity voters, no real demonstrable history of turning out. And to them, all politics is national. And so to get them interested in a supreme court race in Wisconsin, or even a congressional race in Florida, or a local race somewhere else, you have to connect it to the bigger picture. And I think that's what (Musk) is trying to do.”

In Jennings’ argument, Musk’s millions in political donations connect “new voters” to the politics they need to understand.

“They're not terribly politically connected,” he said. “They don't follow the political news on a day to day basis, but they would understand very broad, sweeping themes to connect your vote here to larger outcomes there.”

Barnes dismissed that comparison outright, at Cooper’s prompt, arguing Musk’s endless donations herald a frightening, new era of government purchase at the highest bid.

“We're looking at the $20 million that Elon Musk has dumped into this (Wisconsin judicial) campaign, which dwarfs spending by even other rich Republicans, let alone the $2 million or $3 million combined from (Illinois Gov.) JB Pritzker and Soros. This is not comparing apples to oranges, anyway. This is a grape and a watermelon.”

“So, how much is acceptable,” Jennings countered. “What’s the limit?”

Barnes answered that he wanted “big money out of politics” altogether.

“People that donate at that level have an agenda,” Barnes said. “It has never been as evident as it is right now with Elon Musk purging the federal government workforce in an attempt to privatize and give contracts to his own companies. That is the big difference here.”

Musk famously handed out $1 million payments in Wisconsin to targeted voters to encourage them to participate and swing the Wisconsin court conservative tonight. Such a swing would give state Republicans pivotal legal decisions regarding party-friendly district lines and other goals sitting in Wisconsin courtrooms.

Musk’s hefty investment, one of which wound up in the hands of the the state’s College Republicans, did not deliver the same oomph it did for Trump in the November national election. The Hill called the election for liberal judicial candidate Susan Crawford soon after polls closed.

CNN’s Jennings slammed for calling Walz Harris’ 'emotional support animal' over interview

Right-wing CNN pundit Scott Jennings is among the members of the media being scolded – and schooled – for alleging Vice President Kamala Harris’s first interview after accepting the Democratic presidential nomination should be solo, after she gave the highly-coveted confab to CNN. Both Harris and her vice-presidential running mate, Governor Tim Walz, will share the screen Thursday night. Critics say a joint-ticket interview after a vice-presidential running mate announcement or after their party’s nominating convention is generally the rule and not the exception.

“Should CNN have insisted on a one-on-one interview with Harris and turned down a joint interview with Harris and Walz?” asked former CBS News White House Correspondent Mark Knoller. “Too tough to walk away from. But first question to Harris ought to be why should couldn’t appear solo.”

Scott Jennings, a former Karl Rove protégé and veteran of the George W. Bush presidential campaigns and White House, went far further Tuesday night (video below), after CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked, “Is the line now going to be, ‘well, why isn’t she doing it by herself?'”

“I think it’s incredibly weak – weak sauce – to show up with your running mate,” Jennings told Cooper (video below), before suggesting the Vice President didn’t have to power to make the decision.

“The fact that they don’t have enough confidence in her to let her sit, herself, the actual top of the ticket, and do a single interview – in fact, I think the hand wringing and the gyrations over this over the last month show troubling lack of confidence in her political ability. Which also makes you wonder, as a voter, what kind of President would you be if this kind of a small -time decision? Can we do an interview or not? What does that look like for your decision making process? So yes, I think Republicans are going to think it’s pretty weak to show up with effectively someone to take up half the time.”

The Lincoln Project’s Stuart Stevens, a longtime political strategist and former Republican, responded on social media, asking Jennings, when Republican Mitt Romney and his 2012 vice-presidential running mate, Paul Ryan gave their “first interview together, was Ryan the support animal for Romney? Or is that @KamalaHarris is a woman & that makes it different?”

At the close of the Republican National Convention in July, Fox News host Jesse Watters announced he would be the first to interview Donald Trump on-camera post-convention, in a joint interview with his running mate, JD Vance.

Talking Points Memo’s award-winning founder and publisher Josh Marshall remarked, “It’s actually almost a rule that the first sit-down after a Veep selection is a joint interview with the ticket.”

Social media users are posting photos of Romney and Ryan, Donald Trump and Mike Pence, Barack Obama and Joe Biden, and Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, all apparently from their first joint sit-down interviews.

There appear to be two recent exceptions. In 2016, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton gave her first post-convention interview, solo, to Fox News’ Chris Wallace. And in 2000, Democratic presidential nominee Al Gore gave his first post-convention interview, solo, to ABC News. Both candidates lost their election bids.
