Throughout his stint as a conservative panelist on CNN, Scott Jennings has had numerous conflicts with liberals. He specifically targets current and former Republicans who have opposed President Donald Trump’s second-term agenda. During a recent podcast appearance, he criticized “Never-Trumpers” for their efforts to block Trump’s policies. He also addressed “The Bulwark Podcast” host and MS NOW analyst Tim Miller, who left the Republican Party in 2020 after working on former Republican Florida Gov. Jeb Bush’s 2016 presidential campaign.
“Tim Miller, this other looney tunes. He was supposedly a Republican operative. Now, he is one of the most liberal people in our political affairs ecosystem,” Jennings said. “Did you ever believe any of it? And what is it about Donald Trump that made you change every single thing that you supposedly ever believed in? And I just, I don’t understand how one person could break so many supposedly smart and experienced people.”
“To this day, I still do not understand people who claim to be Republicans running around having voted for Democrats in each of the last three elections, having advocated for Democrats to win the Senate, having advocate for Democrats to win the House, having advocate for pro-abortion policies, having advocate for every liberal social crusade, and then look me in the eye and say, ‘You’re hurting conservatism by supporting Donald Trump.’ F all the way off,” he added.
When host Emily Jashinsky laughed about Jennings’ criticism of Miller, he added more. “I don’t know if I’ve ever been around anybody who was less good at their job, but more condescending,” Jennings said. “His talent to condescension ratio is so far off it’s ridiculous.”
Jennings’ directness has made him a folk hero among conservatives. Video clips of his tough comebacks and analysis have circulated on social media recently, and he launched his own radio program. During another recent interview to promote his new book, “A Revolution of Common Sense,” Jennings also expressed disdain for those who oppose Trump.
After the election, he thought about the monumental moment. Trump had the greatest political comeback since Napoleon. It’s a huge story. And then I’m sitting there at CNN in January watching the inaugural address, and he used this phrase “a revolution of common sense.” And I just thought, well, that is the perfect way to describe the rebranding of the Republican Party under Trump.
“And so, I was thinking that this really needs to be written about by someone who gets it, by someone who likes the president, and by someone who isn’t dedicated to the narrative that everything he does must be inherently evil, which is what most of the news media does.”
As for why he continues to express confidence in Trump, Jennings said: “First of all, he believes in America. And when you talk to him, he believes in an American future. When you talk to (Secretary of State) Marco Rubio, when you talk to (Treasury Secretary) Scott Bessent, when you talk to Elon Musk, who I interviewed in the White House while he was there, they all have this understanding that Donald Trump has ordered them to do everything within their power to advance America and American interests.”
