Liberal podcaster Pete Dominick unleashed a tirade of insults and profanity on CNN after conservative commentator Scott Jennings provoked him with comments about President Joe Biden’s declining polling numbers and their impact on President-elect Donald Trump’s victory Tuesday night. Jennings, known for his composed demeanor on network panels, educated Dominick on the factors contributing to Biden’s poll decline, attributing it to the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan.
“If you look at the arc of the Biden presidency, he was in really good shape until August of 2021 when Afghanistan happened,” Jennings recalled. “When Afghanistan happened, he went under 40, [Kamala Harris] went under 40, and they really lived there until the end of the presidency.” Dominick didn’t wait much longer before interrupting. “Why?!” he asked loudly. “I’ll tell you why,” Jennings replied. “Because he ran and told us that the adults were back in charge, and that was the opposite of that.”
The 2021 withdrawal became infamous for harrowing images of Afghans clinging to the wheels of departing U.S. aircraft, with some tragically falling to their deaths as hundreds overwhelmed Kabul airport in desperate attempts to flee. A suicide bomber among the crowd claimed the lives of dozens of civilians and 13 U.S. service members. However, none of this seemed to resonate with Dominick.
“Because Donald Trump is a child,” he sputtered back. Jennings didn’t miss a beat. “And you know what else? The fact that they wouldn’t give these thirteen service members’ families the time of day…” “Oh bulls***! Bulls*** dude,” the liberal guest defiantly yelled across the table. Rather than quell the tantrum, Jennings shook his head politely and let Dominick wear himself out as he alleged Trump called veterans “suckers and losers,” a claim that has been debunked time and time again.
Finally, Jennings just shrugged. “You’re still campaigning. It’s over brother.” “It’s not over! It’ll never be over!” the podcaster fired back, losing it again when guest Coleman Hughes agreed with Jennings. “We thought we were going to get normal, we were going to get competent” with Biden, he said. “We did!” Deominick shreiked before adding more expletive-laced commentary: “The idea that Joe Biden made the final difficult decision and his administration and his military leaders… I mean you guys live on the tippy top of bulls*** mountain if you think that so many people think that the pullout of Afghanistan was the pivot point. Are you kidding me?” Jennings then trolled the out-of-control contributor: “I can read a chart, and I can read a poll. I guess you can’t.”
WATCH:
Scott Jennings is just toying with the libs at this point.
Make this dude press secretary and don’t think another second about it.
