Once again Scott Jennings is on CNN pointing out why the objections to a Trump nominee are ridiculous and, as usual, it’s awesome.
It’s not that he’s pushing for RFK Jr. to be HHS Secretary. Rather, he’s defending the nomination from President-elect Trump and objecting to the absurd nature of their arguments.
Watch below:
It should be illegal to be as good as @ScottJenningsKY is.
Listen to this masterclass defense of the RFK Jr pick.

This second clip has some of the first clip in it, so skip to 29 seconds to hear the continuation in which the host, Abby Phillip, accuses Jennings of making up these public trust concerns about HHS:
The RFK / HHS talk has dredged up an important point – trust in the public health regime is very low because of Covid and what turned out to be garbage mandates that hurt real people. I discussed on @cnn tonight. pic.twitter.com/WtWCXgvsJJ

Scott Jennings is really the only reason to watch CNN because he’s the only one that consistently makes sense there.
I kinda hope he stays on CNN even though he would make a terrific White House Press Secretary for Trump. He’s already under attack by the media today, claiming that he shouldn’t be on CNN while vying for this job of Press Secretary:
Some at CNN wonder if Scott Jennings should still be appearing on CNN (he’s currently on the network rebutting criticisms of RFK) while reportedly in contention for the White House press secretary job

To be clear, no one knows if Jennings is actually vying for the position because he’s never acknowledged it. But even more to the point, Bonchie asks a great question of this WAPO reporter:
Can you link me to your concern when Jen Psaki *actually was* the press secretary and was actively negotiating with MSNBC? And stayed press secretary for months even after getting a deal there?
Surely you wrote a piece or tweeted about it, right? https://t.co/Oltno3U76E

Once again the double standard emerges. Only Republicans get attacked like this when Democrats have done the same thing, far worse, and the same media was quiet.
