Mask Off! CNN Panelist Says The Quiet Part Out Loud About What Should Override Elections

Posted • February 12, 2025: The liberals over at CNN have truly lost it as Democrats and their allies in the mainstream media freak out over how President Donald Trump and Elon Musk are cleaning up government waste. On Monday night, Scott Jennings schooled the entire panel on "CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip" about a "constitutional crisis." He was back at it on Tuesday, confronting liberal guests on Trump, from what Democrats' aim is in opposing him to how he's taking action on the Israel-Hamas war and the Gaza region. As former White House Senior Director Nayyera Haq spoke of "a joke" as the panel was discussing the ways in which Trump has been reacting to the many decisions against him, and the questions that are presented and executive authority, Jennings reminded what's really a joke.

"Here's what I think is a joke, that you have these partisan hack Democrat attorney generals [sic], they get together, and the only thing they know how to do is try to nullify the results of the last election by venue shopping these district court judges, they find the most lunatic liberals they can, they file lawsuits knowing full well they're going to try to usurp the president's authority, tie this up in court for years. I hope you're happy," Jennings pointed out, addressing a point he also made the night before. Former Assistant Special Watergate Prosecutor Nick Akerman, who was also a former assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, had also joined the panel for such a segment, which involved sparring with Jennings. That involved expressing concerns about Musk, the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), and personal data.

"To the government and to every American citizen who's got their information in there, Social Security numbers, their tax numbers. That stuff is sacrosanct. And you've got people going in there who don't know anything about the data systems," Akerman insisted, adding, "he knows nothing about this." While the panel discussion got quite heated, Jennings was able to get a word in edgewise, pointing out to Akerman that "your view, you're here as our legal expert, but your view is because you don't personally believe they know enough that the duly elected president who appointed a Treasury secretary and who appoints special appointees, like Elon Musk, shouldn't be able to act as the president because you don't personally believe they know enough? Is that how it works? Or do elections mean anything to you?"

"Well, it's got nothing to do with elections," Akerman answered, though fellow panelist Emily Austin took issue with such a remark. 🚨 "The truth was told tonight," Jennings declared, as the panel discussion devolved even further from there before the segment tuned into Mark Fogel coming to the White House after being freed from a Russian prison. -- Scott Jennings @ScottJenningsKY: ““It has nothing to do with elections.” The truth was told last night on @cnn: the lawfare against Trump is nothing more than an effort to nullify the results of the 2024 election. The Left believes Trump shouldn’t be allowed to govern. It’s that simple.” (…)
