Scott Jennings Schooled With Katie Zacharia Diss Live on CNN

CNN CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings has been schooled live on TV over a diss involving the MAGA flop whose job he has been tipped to take.

Jennings appeared on Laura Coates Live on Sunday, and was quick to toe the Republican Party line over Abdul El-Sayed, the hotly tipped Democratic nominee in the Senate race in Michigan.

El-Sayed would be the first Muslim ever elected to the Senate and is leading Trump-aligned Republican Mike Rogers by 46 percent to 44 percent in a new Rasmussen Reports poll.

CNN played footage of El-Sayed discussing a question he received in Caro, Michigan, on Saturday night from an audience member who identified himself as “Tommy.” He asked the Democrat, “Will you disavow the Muslim Brotherhood?” Discussing the exchange, which has gone viral, El-Sayed repeated that he had disavowed the Muslim Brotherhood.

El-Sayed later shared the interaction with “Tommy” on his X account , which has been viewed over 12 million times.

Pointing out Republicans were weaponizing religion, the Democrat later said, “This is what they do when they have no actual message about the real issues in people’s lives.” Jennings said the current coverage of El-Sayed “benefits the Republicans” as his past was being discussed, including “vital questions” he claimed that any potential Congress member should be asked.

“He’s finally being pressed on it, and when he gets pressed on it, he’s obviously a little defensive and has thin skin,” Jennings claimed.

“So I’d say this conversation, advantage Republican.” Former Obama-Biden administration and Biden-Harris campaign senior staffer Ashley Allison was seated next to Jennings, and was baffled by Jennings’ claims.

El-Sayed earned his medical degree from Columbia University in 2014, and earned a PhD in public health from the University of Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar.

“You want to know about this past? He’s a Rhodes Scholar.

He’s been to medical school,” Allison said.

Jennings interjected, “Is he a doctor?” Allison pointed out El-Sayed has a medical degree, and asked Jennings, “Do you have an MD? JD? PhD?” Jennings said, “Can he write you a prescription?” As the two CNN panelists talked over each other, Allison looked at Jennings and said, “Let me tell you something.

I would not have your party being the one out here questioning qualifications when you just had to fire a press secretary because she was lying on her name.” Jennings was suddenly very quiet, putting his hands up in a surrender-style gesture, before stating, “I wouldn’t make an appointment with Abdul.” Katie Zacharia, who was Trump’s White House press secretary for a mere five days last week, was repeatedly called out over claims she passed herself off as an attorney, despite not passing the bar exam.
