CNN anchor laughs in Scott Jennings' face as his Trump Kennedy Center defense collapses
Conservative CNN pundit Scott Jennings embarrassingly lost his attempt to defend Trump as his name came off the Kennedy Center."Are we upset that the president of the United States took an interest in the Kennedy Center?" Jennings asked while on a CNN roundtable."A lot of people are upset about that, yes," CNN host Abby Phillip responded. "Why?" Jennings followed up before taking a shot at Trump opponents. "They've never been able to stand the fact that Donald Trump won the White House the first time, and especially the second time."Phillip quickly countered Jennings' argument by pointing out why people are really upset about Trump's attempted renaming."How about Congress established the Kennedy Center as a memorial for John F. Kennedy, and that it is illegal for him to slap his name on it?" Phillip said. "That is why people are upset about it."Jennings tried to hold up his argument, though."But here's the deal, he took an interest in this," Jennings said, referring to Trump."What about the laws, Scott?" Phillip asked."What about it?" Jennings shot back.Phillip laughed as soon as Jennings said that, but he kept on going."Who cares?" he insisted. "These haters stand out on the street screeching about a name.""Wow, haters," journalist Cari Champion reacted. "Unbelievable."
