CNN commentator Scott Jennings went head-to-head with Neera Tanden, a former Biden official, in a heated exchange that laid bare the radical left’s hypocrisy when it comes to political violence.
It all kicked off when Jennings pointed to recent footage of coordinated attacks on Tesla property—cars keyed, charging stations trashed, and even firebombs lobbed at dealerships.
Jennings:
“The other night, Donald Trump said, “These are domestic terrorists.” Everybody laughed about it and scoffed at it. That video looks like terrorism to me.I mean, it’s obviously an organized, coordinated effort, however people are communicating with each other, to do this to people around the country who chose to buy a Tesla at some point in the past—many of whom, I’m sure, are Democrats who bought them in the first place—all because their entire political worldview is ruled by their emotions.
That’s the American left right now. It is one angry mob after another, willing to take things into their own hands, up to and including keying, firebombing, and otherwise vandalizing cars, car dealerships, and charging stations.
It’s outrageous. It is terrorism. People ought to be put in jail and left there for a very long time and be taught a lesson.”
Enter Neera Tanden, the former Clinton aide and Biden administration official, who tried to counter Jennings with a jab of her own.
“When they do it to a Tesla dealership, it’s really bad. But when they do it to the Halls of Congress, we should pardon them. Is that your position?” Tanden asked with a smug tone.
Big mistake. Jennings shot back, refusing to let Tanden get away with her false equivalence.
“I know you haven’t been around for a while, so let me educate you about my position on January 6th,” Jennings fired back.
Tanden’s attempt to interrupt only fueled the fire. “You don’t need to patronize me,” she snapped, but Jennings was already in full swing.
“No, you don’t need to be condescending to me. So let me educate you about my position,” Jennings said sharply. “You want to attack me? Let me finish it!”
John Berman scrambled to regain control as the exchange devolved into chaos.
Tanden subtly jabs Jennings again, saying, “I’m just asking you a question. I’m sorry you’re getting emotional.”
But Jennings wasn’t having any of it.
“I’m sorry you’re a condescending person who hasn’t been paying attention to what I do,” Jennings blasted Tanden before laying out his stance.
“Here’s the issue. I didn’t support what happened on January the sixth, and was one of the first Republicans to call it I don’t support the pardons. I have repeatedly, just like my friend Ashley here, said that no violence in our political system is acceptable,” Jennings lectured Tanden.
“But this right here, what’s going on with a guy who helps our country, who runs successful companies, who doesn’t have to be doing this, and now one of his companies is under systematic terroristic threat and violence all over the country, and people seem to be laughing about it or fine with it. It’s outrageous.”
