Boy, do I hate Scott Jennings

I'm in agreement with George Conway, I can't understand why CNN pays Scott Jennings and gives him a platform to lie to the American people every day. I am retired in the Philippines and my only news outlet from America is CNN. I can get other networks and information from my computer, but I prefer TV.

Almost every explanation from Jennings starts with, "What President Trump meant to say'''" and then sane washes Trump's most recent absurd statement or tweet.

If the worst happens, and Trump is given a second term, I predict that Jennings will be his Press Secretary. America truly will look like a fascist state then..

even had Nina Turner on, I mean JFC, seriously? CNN has for years, operated like they were a Jerry Springer show and want the shit show so they could get the sound bites. It is not a serious news station anymore, sadly.

I really do want to see what Americans see every day. I get other news and there are a lot of people on CNN that I agree with.

But, just as another poster replied, I turn off CNN whenever Jennings speaks. I'll listen to about 30 seconds and then turn it off or change the channel.

Can't handle the truth either. He does have White Supremacy to spare though. Ask him.

Sean Spicer

Sarah Huckabee Sanders

Stephanie Grisham

Kayleigh McInany

And of course Trump often made appearances at his pressers because there were CAMERAS.

Now most of them are on Fox or Newsmax or some other right wing media who spew lies. What exactly were the qualifications to be a trump press secretary? What a lying shit show.

Scott Jennings would certainly fit the bill.

...being willing to stand in front of a roomful of reporters and TV cameras and lie like a rug. Preferably with a straight face.

At least that's the only ability I ever saw any of them demonstrate!
