Scott Jennings Stomps Out CNN's Lies When Panel Says Trump May Shoot Americans

Posted • December 4, 2024: I don't know how he does it. But here we have another day ending in "y," and it's another day of Republican strategist Scott Jennings having to put out multiple fireballs of misinformation on a CNN panel. It's nearly impossible to follow the bouncing ball of lies being told by multiple panel participants in this segment, but we'll try. The entire trainwreck of a segment begins with left-wing social media content creator Leigh McGowan stating her belief that President-elect Donald Trump will be "sending the military into blue states to make them behave." - “What are you talking about?” an incredulous Jennings responds. “Can I just make sure I understand your position, that you believe Donald Trump is going to use the military to set up, effectively, like, coups in state capitals of states that he didn‘t win?”

Good Lord. Scott Jennings has to put out multiple rhetorical fires on this CNN panel, which repeatedly lies, suggesting Trump will send the military in to "make blue states behave" or to shoot and kill "American citizens." At this point, anchor Abby Phillip chimed in, suggesting Jennings was taking things a step or two too far and then immediately taking things a step too far herself. "Trump has wanted to use the military to do things domestically that actually the military is not allowed to do," Phillip suggested. "I think that‘s the point that she‘s making.” Jennings asked for an example of one such "thing" to which the CNN host replied, "Like deport illegal immigrants. That is actually not a function of the military.” - “The military can absolutely be used to work with local officials to provide military resources, but working with other parts of the federal government and local officials. We already send the National Guard to the border," he fired back.

Under certain conditions, the National Guard can be involved in immigration enforcement. With the approval of a state's governor, the National Guard can detain individuals. Such a move becomes more definitive should Trump, as he has expressed a desire to do, declare a national emergency due to the border crisis. It becomes even more ironclad if Trump, as he has also suggested, invokes the Alien Enemies Act, part of the Alien and Sedition Acts of 1798, to end “the scourge of illegal alien gang violence once and for all.” President Trump will invoke the Alien Enemies Act to remove all known and suspected cartel members from the United States, and deploy the U.S. Navy to impose a full naval embargo on the cartels! https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1672804497746444288/pu/vid/1280x720/FHUKZCdD8YMC9AnI.mp4 -- Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled CNN broadcast of ignorance and gaslighting.

Philadelphia Daily News columnist Solomon Jones entered the fray, making the wild suggestion that "the military is not supposed to take up arms against American citizens.” Hyperbole, party of one. Jenning rightly points out that illegal aliens are not, in fact, American citizens by any stretch of the imagination. “They’re not. You keep saying that. This is about illegal immigration. You all keep saying American citizens," he countered. "It’s about illegal immigrants.” Jones then keeps the unhinged juices flowing by stating the only way they would be able to sort it out is by shooting people first and identifying the bodies later. “Well, how do we know if they’re illegal or not? We know after they’re shot?” Jones said, channeling his inner AOC. "We know after they die?”

McGowan and Jones insist that they're not talking about illegal immigration, which is what the entire argument is centered upon. Jones claims, "We‘re talking about the American people; we're talking about taking up arms against them with a military that‘s supposed to be protecting them.” - “We are in the fever swamps, Abby. I‘m sorry," Jennings said. "Because they‘re saying that he‘s sending the military to shoot and/or round up American citizens. Not true.” McGowan counted with one last lie. “We did not say shoot people, Scott," she insisted, despite it having been said just seconds earlier. It's on video, Leigh. And, as RedState's own Sister Toldjah reported just yesterday, McGowan is the same half-wit who said Trump is "talking about firing squads" and "making sure that everyone who his enemy is going to be punished."

Of all the defenses of the Biden pardon I’ve heard, “because Trump firing squads” might be the most creative. https://video.twimg.com/amplify_video/1863952435665862657/vid/avc1/886x480/E6dxTT3Fu8DipoOj.mp4 -- I'm not sure how Jennings does it. He has to constantly swat the lies from all sides of these CNN panels, like some sort of master of the ping-pongic arts. And then he comes back the next day and does it all over again.
