Establishment media has developed an uncanny knack for shielding sensitive Democrats from anything resembling a dissenting opinion. This is evident in their selective hiring practices, and who could have guessed that when CNN snagged Scott Jennings in 2017, he would become a powerful voice for President-elect Trump’s conservative-populist MAGA movement? Fast forward to the aftermath of the 2024 election, and Jennings is dishing out truth bombs that have left his CNN colleagues reeling and the establishment party scratching their heads.
Despite being regularly outnumbered on panels dominated by his liberal counterparts, Jennings has made himself a formidable presence. Following Trump’s decisive victory over Vice President Kamala Harris, he has unmasked the widening rift between pro-establishment Democrats and the average American voter. His colorful description of the Democratic Party as a “professional fainting society” resonated so well that even CNN’s own Van Jones could barely keep a straight face. Democrats might want to consider trading their safe spaces for some reality checks, as their wokeness has turned them into a collective cringe machine.

On the subject of alienation, Jennings didn’t pull any punches when addressing how the Democrats have left young men feeling disrespected. He pointed out that their messaging has effectively told men to take a back seat and accept their supposed inferiority in a new feminist world order. As more voters start to wake up to the implications of this mentality, it’s clear the Democrats are leaving a vast pool of potential support high and dry.
Moreover, Jennings speaks to the frustrations of the MAGA base regarding the administrative nightmare that was the COVID lockdowns. His robust dismissal of lockdowns as “garbage” echoed the sentiments of countless Americans who experienced the real-world consequences of misguided mandates. As Trump prepares to bring in Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, it’s becoming increasingly evident that the Biden administration’s public health measures were less about safety and more about control, a point Jennings made with unapologetic candor.
The former Republican strategist’s ability to irk his fellow panelists has become something of a sport. During a recent discussion, he made waves by stating that Elon Musk’s social media platform X was the most ideologically balanced. The stunned reactions from fellow CNN contributors—who just couldn’t fathom how this could be true—highlights their disconnect from everyday Americans. Jennings cleverly reminded them, using data that contradicted their narrative, that their own network had reported it previously. Talk about a mic drop moment!
In the wake of Trump’s recent resurgence, Jennings has captured the pulse of millions of regular, hard-working Americans who feel sidelined by the elitism of the left. His insistence that Trump’s victory represents the “revenge” of the working class speaks volumes about the realignment happening within American politics. While the establishment media clings to outdated narratives, it’s voices like Jennings who are articulating the frustrations and aspirations of everyday folks, signaling that the Democrats have more than just a waking nightmare on their hands; they have a massive public relations crisis as well.
