‘I’m Sorry, This Is Insane’: Scott Jennings ‘Schools’ Ex-Kamala Aide Over Biden’s True Legacy

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings often has his work cut out for him, given the number of hosts and contributors at the network who would happily defend President Joe Biden to the last — and Wednesday was no exception.

As observed by Newsbusters’ Curtis Houck, Jennings “schools former Kamala aide Ashley Etienne for praising Biden lamenting the decline of trust in the media and then hurling disproven lies about Donald Trump.”

“Has Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, or Karine Jean-Pierre ever lied?” Jennings asked.

Etienne shrugged: “I don’t know, what are you talking about? I know where you’re going with this, but that’s not the point.”

She went on to claim that Trump “stood at the podium every day” and told lies.

“Your speech is about the truth and one thing about Biden that has always vexed Republicans is that he spends a lot of time talking about him being the center of truth and the restoration of the soul of the nation and yet, he and his people spend a heck of a lot of time undermining that very talking point up to and including this year with the massive cover up of his own condition,” Jennings explained.

“Scott, how about Trump lying to the American people during COVID? How about that?” Etienne interrupted, and then immediately pivoted to lie about what she was claiming Trump had lied about. “Drink bleach. I could go on and on.”

“Didn’t happen. Debunked,” Jennings waved off her false statement.

“It’s not as bad as the flu, I mean, all of these things — 500,000 people lost their lives because the president wasn’t honest with the country,” Etienne tried again, but Jennings was not buying it.

“I don’t understand. Are you saying the virus was listening to Donald Trump?” Jennings pressed.

“Lies have consequences,” Etienne said then.

“I just want to make sure I understand that your position is, is that Donald Trump’s words induced the virus to kill people?” Jennings asked.

“No,” Etienne replied. “What Donald Trump’s words did was prevented people from protecting themselves and their neighbors and 500,000 plus people lost their lives.”

She went on to claim that Trump was at fault for the economic standstill that followed, despite the fact that individual governors had brought things to a halt at the state level and other countries worldwide had implemented similar — if not stricter — lockdown polices that were outside Trump’s control.

“This is crazy. I’m sorry, this is insane,” Jennings said, noting that Trump had been the one to fast-track the development of vaccines.
