What did CNN ever do to deserve Scott Jennings? He's the best thing to happen to the failing liberal network since Donald Trump stomped all over Hillary Clinton's lifelong dream in 2016. The token Republican analyst, exquisitely coiffed and actually handsome (unlike Jake Tapper), regularly holds his own against a small army of liberal partisans—Democrats, journalists, "comedians," what's the difference? More often than not, Jennings humiliates his outmatched opponents with calmly delivered common sense, punctuated with zingers that are actually funny (unlike Jim Acosta). It's like watching a grown man explain to a bunch of snotty third graders that Santa Claus isn't real.
Seriously, though. The fanatical resistance Jennings encountered over the course of the election was on par with Imperial Japan. Night after night, he faced down psychotic freaks who insisted to the bitter end that Joe Biden was fit to run for reelection, that Kamala Harris was a competent candidate, that slapping a camo hat on a prancing Tim Walz would help Democrats win back normal male voters. Few individuals did more to expose the alarming degree to which the liberal journalists who claim to speak for all Americans have become hopelessly detached from their fellow citizens.
Jennings might be the first normal dude who has ever been given a regular platform on a mainstream news channel. That would explain why his commentary, which accurately reflects what most Americans believe, is constantly melting the brains of his highly credentialed fellow panelists. Videos of Jennings schooling libs on CNN often get more views than CNN itself, which makes sense because the only people watching CNN these days are in the Joe Biden demographic when it comes to age and cognitive function, dozing off in the nursing home common room, or waiting for the hospice nurse to come change their adult diaper.
For holding his own in hostile territory on a nightly basis, and for owning the libs on national television with a ruthlessness that few possess, Scott Jennings is a Washington Free Beacon Man of the Year. We never thought we'd say this, but we're starting to hope CNN survives (at least a few more months) so we can keep watching.
