Scott Jennings Gives Cringe Defense of Trump Thirsting Over Men

CNN CNN’s resident Trump defender Scott Jennings has provided a bizarre explanation for the president’s fixation on the male physique.

Hosting a panel on State of the Union Sunday, Dana Bash played a montage of clips from 80-year-old Trump’s Saturday rally at Northern Kentucky University.

Speaking admiringly of Ohio senator Jon Husted, 59, Trump crooned: “He came up, and he was talking very nicely, and I stood right over here, and I examined his a--.

“I actually think Mike Collins is a good-looking man.

And he’s all man,” he said.

“I’m not sure about Ossoff.

And I actually think that Rick Jackson is a very handsome, distinguished, beautiful-looking guy.
