Scott has been slaying it at CNN

[@daliahpitter2737]

❤❤❤ facts

[@Dennis379c16]

You are drinking their Kool aid.

[@jamesbomd3503]

No he hasn't he has been slapped down repeatedly by the left wing panel Because he wants to keep his 100,000 dollar job There and does not want to be replaced By somebody else from the right

[@markbelinky5208]

I am no fan of Mitch McConnell. However, we all owe him a debt of gratitude how he handled the Merrick Garland nomination. Couple that with President Trump's election, saved the Supreme Court.

[@mathompson53187]

All and all Kentuckians are some good folks, some representatives with tremendous libertine streaks and yes McConnell is one of those too big to fail Republicans whom drives me up the wall on a number of issues but unquestionably in his time knew more about the legislative grindwork than most anyone (some Senators wouldn't be able to find their butts without an aide). Got to figure that Governor nonsense out though, Beshear is sad coming from a red state.

[@Slatsovrspeed]

So true

[@marlenebuls9535]

Correct! The best thing Mitch McConnell ever did ! We really dodged a bullet there! Thank God Merrick Garland is not on the Supreme Court!

[@marlenebuls9535]

​@mathompson53187 well said 👏

[@sethbartley2212]

True true

[@Fluffylabellchatlane]

Scott Jennings is a rockstar! He is the only reason I turn into CNN….To watch him school the fools. He is a light in the vipers den. Keep up the good work Scott

[@Dennis379c16]

Well you have fallen in to the trap. No true conservative would ever tune into CNN. I bet you will vote for Kamala.

[@Bruhahaah]

Your standards are obviously Fecal matter

[@user-rb1yf4he9q]

School? He simply spins whatever he hears.

[@jamesbomd3503]

And he skills them with one hand tied behind his back or as we like to say biting his tongue because he wants to keep his 100,000 dollar job there, If we went full throttle he would be replaced by somebody else from the right he's very happy to be slapped down by the rest of the trump hating panel

[@JohnMccallum-w7y]

He has his head right up trumps a..😂😂😂

[@TiaStanleyHomes]

We will not miss traitor McConnell. Side note I met Justice Scalia’s son today. Nice guy.

[@dianesellepedrosa1876]

My dad was a farmer, a democrat but wouldn’t be today if he was alive to vote 2024.

[@christophermamunes2068]

McConnell is our best strategist? He's a anachronism...completely out of touch with the future of the Republican Party.

[@nhmountains5683]

Why is the great Mitch McConnell withholding money for Ted Cruz and Kari Lake? Mitch needs to go.

[@peetky8645]

definitely.........

[@mattmalcolm534]

Because neither of those races are competitive. That $ needs to go to Montana and Ohio first and foremost, and secondarily to Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Wisconsin.

[@terryfox9344]

He's not withholding money.

[@LuisVelazquezLV3]

@nhmoutains5683 Here's the singular reason.... I would bet on the horses that will change the status of my leadership from Minority to Majority. Any other bet is wasted money.

[@missykins3193]

Scott may not feel like anyone at CNN has been unfair, but the panelists have straight up disrespected him, and called him racist. You can see he's not fully aware of it, but we are. CNN has done a lot of harm by twisting the truth so much that there is too much water under the bridge to forgive them. He should speak up more especially if he wants to have his own show.

[@marlenebuls9535]

No one in this country will ever go broke underestimating the naivety of the American people. To paraphrase HLMenken ...

[@jamesbomd3503]

[@cnsmiles]

Im torn. We need him to be the Communications Director in the White house but we need him at CNN to debunk the liberal lies.

[@peetky8645]

keep him at CNN

[@marks984]

Why? Nobody watches CNN.

[@marlenebuls9535]

​@marks984 this is true. Trump should hire him, if Ttump wins in November

[@biffd4835]

George W. Bush??? I voted for him twice, mainly because of the alternatives, but Iraq didn't need to happen as it did. Now, it's just another proxy of Iran. McConnell has done some good, but he's totally supportive of the political class, like the Cheneys have shown to be.

[@marchess286]

you don't understand what happened in Iraq. It's not an Iran proxy because we overthrew Saddam, it's a proxy because we failed to do anything significant to hurt the Iran regime. Read David Wurmser.

[@biffd4835]

@@marchess286 The Shia of Iraq are pro-Iran. They make-up 2/3rds of Iraq.

[@mattmalcolm534]

I don't agree with McConnell on everything, but he delivered a conservative Supreme Court and conservative judiciary that overturned Roe and affirmative action, and to me that outweighs any disagreements I may have with him.

[@biffd4835]

@@mattmalcolm534 I agree. I'm a Kentuckian and he satisfies the old-guard Republicans, here. He was 'late to the dance' for Rand Paul's popularity, then Trump's, but he generally gets the job done.

[@NIN_O13]

Scott has been cooking everyone at CNN on the daily 🔥

[@richardpatrick2852]

He's excellent! I think CNN is putting him front and center because he's not their typical commentator-type and because he's also very telegenic!

[@kylekotecha9931]

No he doesn't He's an ass wipe for the trump haters that trump hating panel At CNN slapping him down as He opens his mouth because he doesn't want to lose his 100 grand job and be replaced by somebody else on the right Like that black dude who seems to be doing quite well on the panel and has only been around for a few weeks

[@marchess286]

This was a good interview. But, the simping for W from guys who spent Iraq/Afghanistan in the White House turns my stomach. From 2005 through at least 2008 the Iranian IRGC was slaughtering US troops in those wars, especially in Iraq w/EMPs. W didn't do anything about that, besides posture, despite all his visits to Walter Reed. Trump, at least, killed Soleimani.

[@JohnMccallum-w7y]

[@tlamb18]

Yes. Anyone who looks back on W's tenure as President fondly has a screw loose. Let's hope Trump keeps his word (and his track record) and doesn't send any more American men (like my son in the Army) to a useless war for Raytheon/Boeing/Bill Kristol/Neocon Inc.

Time for Mitch to move into the background. His time to lead has come and gone and, like all of us, he needs to hand over to others and guide them where needed. When new blood comes in they need to set their own path and Mitch’s problem is not letting go of the past. The ‘unspoken’ mission and purpose of the Republican Party and Conservatives in general has changed for the better.
