Following GOP insider Scott Jennings' heated outburst on CNN during a debate over Trump's Iran war, Democratic pundit Adam Mockler has issued a detailed response explaining what sparked the confrontation and why he believes the Trump administration's military campaign has fundamentally failed.

Jennings erupted during the exchange, snapping at Mockler: "Get your f------ hand out of my face! I'm not gonna have this guy's hand in my face."

In a social media post after the fact, Mockler laid out the substantive argument that prompted Jennings' emotional reaction. "I know Scott Jennings' tantrum got all the attention yesterday, but I want to talk a little bit about what I said that got him so mad," Mockler wrote.
