CNN Panelists Take Personal Shots At Each Other During Debate About 2024 Election
Today at 10:06 AM
It's fair to say CNN's coverage of the 2024 presidential election went off the rails on Thursday night.
Republican strategist Scott Jennings and comedian Pete Dominick were at the center of a heated debate about Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Their feud was over Biden's decision to withdraw troops from Afghanistan. Jennings said Biden was in "really good shape" before that decision. He thought it was really disrespectful to servicemebers and their families. Dominick, however, wasn't buying it.
"That's [expletive], dude. I'm sorry, but Donald Trump hates veterans! He called them suckers and losers," Dominick said. "He absolutely despises them."
Jennings shot down Dominick's fear, saying, "I know you're super emotional." That led to Dominick replying, "Of course I am - I'm terrified."
Instead of letting Dominick cool down, Jennings decided to instigate a bit more. He said, "You're still campaigning. It's over, brother."
Jennings didn't stop there with his assessment of why Kamala Harris failed to take down Donald Trump in the election.
"The political reality is when they made that decision and everyone realized, oh my gosh these aren't the competent adults that we were promised and then when you pile on top of that the decisions that made inflation worse, it was a compounding interest of political crap over time that they could never get out of it," Jennings said. "That is how she lost the race."

Dominick tried to debunk that comment, which then led to this zinger from Jennings: "I can read a chart in a poll, I guess you can't."
Let's just say that remark triggered Dominick.
"Your petty insults are so weak, dude, I don't even understand if you hear yourself talking," he replied. "You can laugh all you want but like I can't read a chart – it's so uninteresting and unconvincing."
From an entertainment standpoint, this was a really fun segment to watch. However, it's a bad look for both parties.
It wouldn't surprise us if another heated debate breaks out on CNN in the coming days.
