Scott Jennings erupts at Adam Mockler on CNN
On Abby Phillip's CNN show, former Bush aide Scott Jennings snapped at MeidasTouch commentator Adam Mockler and told Mockler to "get your profanity-laced hand out of my face" after Mockler gestured while speaking. Jennings interrupted Mockler and the exchange visibly escalated on air, with both men trading heated remarks during the segment. The on-air confrontation highlights how aggressive gestures and interruptions can derail live policy discussions and raises questions about decorum on prime-time panels.
Wow Scott Jennings blows up at Adam Mockler: “Get your fucking hand out of my face” Mockler: We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with letters Ira that we are currently failing that is going to put us trillions of dollars more in debt.
His hand wasn't even in his face....
Scott Jennings loses his shit when he is rage baited by a 23-year-old. Fucking hilarious.
Absolutely pathetic by Jennings there. Mockler was nowhere near him. Get that stress-doll out of CNN.
Scott Jennings is an asshole. @adammockler.com stayed professional and never lost his temper. You know you are losing a debate when you result to name calling and claiming someone is putting their hand in your face to change the subject. Scott Jennings can't defend this war and that pisses him
Scott Jennings better be off the set when they come back from break. That is uncalled for behavior.
Show some respect, Scotty! Adam was on target
Scott Jennings is so lost. He sold his soul and KNOWS he has. He could also be on pins and needles from that bombshell report the other day. Guess the F-Bomb is a part of the Christian values he loves to espouse? Hypocrite!!! Trump has really exposed a lot of those so-called Christians.
Utter pos. I can’t watch CNN when he’s on.
And they always try to have that televangelist fake creeper smile.
He knows Mockler owns him
If you want a preview of what the coming MAGA melt down is going to look like, it's this but more. The whole movement is going to go down kicking and screaming as they refuse to face reality.
Tough guy to a young kid who routinely mops the floor with him.
Is that @katmabu.bsky.social in the middle, unable to get a word in edgewise?
Scott Jennings, an agent provocateur for the Republican Political Party, pushes the war on as many television and media appearances as he can in a week. Goes Bezerk when someone's hand is two feet from his own face. A theater diva.
Wow "macho man" about to start a fight over losing a conversation on TV again. 😱
He starts leaning in to set up his clip he was practicing in the mirror lmao
“Everybody” calm down? C’mon Abby, that’s like scolding the whole class when it’s only one kid acting like a tool.
Notice that Jennings can’t meet Mockler’s eyes other than when he lashes out. Mockler is looking at Jennings the whole time. Mockler is dominant and Jennings abjectly submits. Jennings’s realization of that is why he lashes out at literally nothing (Mockler’s no closer to him when Scott loses it).
Scott really needs to see this one..🤣🤣 www.youtube.com/watch?v=S_tN...
CNN have the perfect excuse to fire him now. They should use it.
Jennings has the most slapable face in today's politics. I love that Adam triggered him into losing his temper...with facts.
They need to get rid of that motherfucker. I hate his smug face. I just can't stand this guy. His hand wasn't even in his face. He's just making up an excuse cuz he wanted to drop the F bomb. I feel so bad for @katmabu.bsky.social has to endure the behavior of that asshole.
All the f-ing rats are going down with this fat orange ship. The sundowning. They own this. #kleptocracy
Who watches to see what scott says ? I would enjoy a different opposition member in a guest capacity rather than a rude jerk every night. I don't watch cnn because of the feeble both sides attempt.
Then he took over the conversation! Hosts need to stop letting him do this. He doesn’t belong on TV.
his hand wasn't quite in his face the way I would have liked. disappointing.
This is why I don’t watch Abby’s show. She is excellent; the format, with Jennings, sucks.
Jennings life must be miserable.
I would never watch any network platforming Jennings or even Geraldo.
He says, as he puts his fucking hand in Mockler’s face
I love that for him. The hands were nowhere near his face. But boy, the facts were right in his face and he couldn’t handle it.
why does 'everybody' have to calm down when only one blew up
Love seeing Mockler pwn Scooter.
@cnn.com is trash for keeping Jennings on
You could see Mocklers eyes light up with joy when Scott hit him with the fuck. Hahaha, he finally got Scott to break. Expect many clips
Scott Jennings a low iq individual
@adammockler.com keep doing what you’re doing! Your hand wasn’t in his face and he is mad because he has no valid points or arguments. Bravo. 👏🏼👏🏼
He should be fired, but CNN is a garbage network.
He’s turned into quite the prima donna.
bsky.app/profile/ones... The hypocrisy of Scott Jennings et al. Fuck ‘em.
Jennings being an asshole aside, we’re now freely using the f word on national television? Thanks chump 🍊💩🤡👍
Jennings should have been taken off the set at that point. That's ridiculous. What a sad small man.
EVERYBODY? calm down? Adam seemed pretty calm to me
I thought he was fired. Will NOT watch CNN until he is gone.
Scotty needs some Desitin. He seems extremely chapped.
I would probably have responded by smacking Jennings in the face, to be honest.
How does anyone still watch this trash channel. The fact that they platform a holes like Scott Jennings was enough for me to never watch again.
Seeing lying triggered potty mouth Scott Jennings being put in his place is priceless.
Scott Jennings is honestly what's wrong with America. This guys an opportunist fucking hack. He couldn't stand Trump until he found out he needed to kiss his ass to earn a living. These people should be embarrassed for themselves and their families.
This is the true color of the fascist movement.
We have a lunatic with the codes!!!! wtf are you talking about?!
Scott’s boyfriend dumped him because people are getting close
Jennings is one of the reasons I no longer watch CNN. If he is typical of the “other side” of the political spectrum, I have no interest in collaborating.
@cnn Scott Jennings clearly needs to take a permanent leave of absence!
This show makes me too anxious. Jennings is a jerk.
The side show children… Geraldo Rivera’s slumming CNN? Did they finally find his credibility in Al Capone’s secret vault? This isn’t news. It’s the circus.
The US right wing and Israeli Zionists are the terrorist regimes that need their nukes taken away. The only nuke ever used in war was by whom??? 🤔 the most casualties of civilians in “wartime” are by whom??? 🧐
I’m not for “baiting” in debate. Jennings baits all the time. Arrogant, dismissive, disrespectful in the extreme. Aggressive in a passive aggressive way. No honest, constructive intent. Here…he showed his true colors. No hiding what he’s about. There’s value in that.
Look, CNN arranged things so their entire network revolves around Jennings. Now they have to promote him and force us to swallow it.
Adam, who I admire, did not put his finger in Scott's face. Adam only raised two of his fingers on both hands for a moment and they were not in Scott's face. Scott, the child here, then put his fingers in Adam's face.
Scott Jennings gets his ass handed to him by Mockler every time they talk. He can’t handle the truth.
How anyone watches that trash is beyond my understanding.
Mockler was not anticipated by this POS Scott Jennings. Ha!
Scott lost his argument, then his temper. This is how smug, condescending, smart alecky people are when confronted with reality. They try to pose themselves as a victim.
Jennings is a snowflake he can dish it but he can’t take it. He won’t ever admit he’s wrong I don’t know why he’s on a panel anymore he doesn’t participate in discussions he doesn’t listen to other opinions Geraldo effing retire you lost us in 86 with your Al Capone safe fiasco.
Scott can’t defend sending our service members to their deaths like theWORTHLESS INCOMPETENT POS hegseth did to 6 of our poor troops in Kuwait! Even Scott knows the POS hegseth should be court-martialed and thrown in prison for this alone!! substack.com/@rawstory/no...
If you want to get technical, I see an imaginary line between y'all, and Mockler stays in his lane. Scott Jennings is just a typical MAGA snowflake.
The maga tough guy crowd sure is bitch made.
Nothing this orange asshole has done is, or will ever prevent Iran from creating a nuclear weapon. In fact, his tearing up of the Iran Nuclear Deal that was agreed upon during Obama , and randomly attacking them has given them all the motivation they need to accelerate the creation of one.
North Korea was designated a state sponsor of terrorism by the Trump administration in 2017. North Korea has nuclear weapons. If the United States is the policeman of the world, is North Korea next?
Hate that guy. CNN thinks its balance, but its just BS.
Does that douche ever stop looking down the fucking camera?
Sorry I have been so quiet today. I have been watching Adam Mockler smoke Scott Jennings ass on repeat since last night.
Watching it is like being in a casino with no clocks and losing track of time
Adam is one of the smartest guys around. @cnn.com should give him a paid gig and get rid of Scott!
You gotta love it when someone that smug gets needled to the point of popping!
"I would be mad too." That line was stone cold.
Adam is awesome. I love seeing the younger generation put these Trump boot lickers in their place.
I mean, Adam runs circles around Jennings intellectually.
Better you than me. I can’t watch Jennings without throwing my slipper at the TV.
Omg wasn't that just perfect??? Scott is such a closeted hypocrite
Jennings is a pimp. He never could have out-fought Mockler.
The only way that could have been more satisfying was to see him beat the shit out of Jennings on air
How Jennings felt he was being attacked.
It was wonderfully beautiful, wasn't it?
*voice cracking* I won't have his finger in my face, MMMMMOOOOM
THAT was awesome!! Love Adam!
As he should be if he has the nerve to be on a discussion panel—Mockler must be there to whittle him down to the nub.
Jennings just continues to support who he’d NEVER EVER support for a second if the orange one was a Dem Magas keep doubling down as the country is being destroyed and is the laughing stock of the world
I cannot stand his smug ass! Adam was fantastic and handled the shit out of him lol. He was left with nothing but a stupid joke that didn't land 🤣
Always a pleasure to watch:)
We tried stupid. It sucked. Let's bring the woke people back.
Does anyone have a link to the decimation?
Scott Jennings has the most punchable face on television.
🤣😂 it us fun to watch Adam, I can't stand jennings
Adam Mockler is one smart dude!! Love it!! Put little Scottie back on his heels!!😜
I’m loving that young whippersnapper! 👍
This is MAGA’s modus operandi. They say stupid shit not rooted in facts or reality. We call them out on it. They revert to their usual playbook of victimhood while melting down on national television. And thinks acting like a toddler who didn’t get their way proves their “point”.
For the love of God, it is time to fire Scott Jennings - my latest on Substack open.substack.com/pub/jimacost...
Why would CNN fire him? He’s literally the only reason we’re talking about CNN. No one is talking about what the panel was addressing, they’re talking about Jennings. CNN knows exactly what they’re doing. It’s time to ignore corporate whoring and trash.
Fire him? He’s performing for David Ellison. Just like Dana Bash, Van Jones, etc…
Dude aren’t you the guy who did the A.I. interview with the murdered Parkland victim You irredeemable huckster ghoul
Scott Jennings is doing exactly what his lords and masters, Ellison and Weiss, are telling him to do. So, why would CNN fire Scott Jennings? In fact, why would any legitimate journalist still be on any MSM news station, especially @cbsnews.com.
He is one of the main reasons I stopped watching CNN.
I suspect Jennings is doing exactly what CNN pays him to do.
They're not in the news business they're in the entertainment business we need to accept that and treat them as just an entertainment show that we don't need to watch
e should be fired for being a spineless piece of shit with horrible opinions. He shouldn't be fired for saying fuck. He didn't threaten Mockler. He's threatened by Mockler. He's threatened by Mockler being an intelligent & mature 22 year old while Jennings is a man baby.
The number one thing that needs to be said on TV that can't be said is that Donald Trump by murdering others, is "living by the sword" and so if anything happens to him or any of his supporters like Scott Jennings - they "lived by the sword" and asked for it.
Jennings serves as an example of the irrational pretzel Republicans must twist themselves into to justify their party’s immoral and undemocratic policies.
There is only one side, The truth. Opinions are not facts. CNN has become a circus sideshow. Even the "respected" anchor's silence is ok with the vile fiction being spewed by Trump's sycophants.
Fire him from what exactly? This show and CNN have lost credibility and therefore is treated as entertainment. Like the WWE. Jennings is a heel and plays a good one.
He’s a primary reason I won’t pay for the CNN app. Not interested in supporting his compensation.
How long ago was it when a contributor would be suspended or fired for saying the F word on TV? I miss those days. Not to mention that it’s just Reason 1,000 why Jennings should be let go.
Watched the clip. Definitely had the vibe of, "teacher he's looking at me..." ...and it appears there was likely a ton of built up frustration hiding behind the faux condescending smile. Bet the savvy young man had been repeatedly winning the sound bite moments and he just couldn't hold it in.
Yes! I turn off whatever he is on immediately.
Jennings is paid to be disliked. People will watch and talk about things they don’t like MORE than things they like. Jennings being a total asshat makes CNNs overlords money.
He is insufferable. He is the reason I won’t watch @cnn and cancelled my longtime subscription to @latimes
With Ellison coming in, he'll be promoted to their boss.
Scott Jennings will become the main CNN news host if the merger with Paramount is finalized. He's auditioning for it now, of course, so that trump will pull the strings with David Ellison.
I wish #CNN NewsFight could mimic the format of the PBS series Ethics In America where real intellectuals debated serious hypothetical scenarios—rather than the kabuki theater of morally bankrupt trad-wives & lotharios, sadly these shows are merely apropos of rivalry with Instagram & TikTok videos.
As long as CNN continues to pay Jennings, I'll continue to not watch their shows. He is nothing more than a political prostitute paid to service those shows. I have nothing against people with opposing views, but that guy is the poster child for those I absolutely despise. #FDT #FGOP #FICE
I refuse to watch CNN because they platform Jennings. He's so obnoxious and so obviously a shill for his party position. No thought at all.
There would probably be more public outrage and backlash over this if anyone still watched @cnn.com.
@cnn.com will showcase Scott until after the Midterms. They are an Ad company first, and a News company 2nd, or maybe 3rd. IMO
From @jimacosta.bsky.social : “FIRE SCOTT JENNINGS… At any other network, any other era of TV news, an impromptu F-bomb would be a fireable offense.” (spoiler: CNN won’t.) 👇🏽Below is the closest @adammockler.com’s hand ever got to Scott’s triggered face jimacosta.substack.com/p/fire-scott...
Mockler getting under Jennings skin was AWESOME! Jennings is a typical ass-kissing-Trump-sucking POS!
He didn’t have a coherent argument so he lashed out.
Of course he'll keep his job. They don't have principles, left wing people have to be perfect and subservient and right wing people can do whatever they want. This is how society is right now.
I was at a taping of a show that Jennings participated in (for another outlet). Question was “who makes the laws in this country?” and his answer was “god”. If CNN wouldn’t allow other religious fundamentalists on their show, why a christian one?
Thinking someone was trying to distract from the fact that this savvy young man has been besting him daily, armed with facts. Just facts. Bet he was hoping using the F-word would block out all of the facts and sensible commentary. Doesn't really seemed to have been effective. :)
Let’s not forget what Brian Kilemeade said about the homeless and mentally ill.
There are NEW pro-Trump owners at CNN... Scott Jennings is going no where. Except his own show. He's a vaccuous self-serving proxy for Donald Trump.
Remind me how they differ?
He’s their special commentator. They love him.
Remove Fox News from the air and fire Watters and Jennings.
He mellowed out on the MAGA shit when Trump lost in 2020z this is performance art at this point.
Top: Scott leans in to dominate Mockler with no issue Bottom: Scott bruised ego flailing to regain control notices the hand Strange how leaning with eyes almost set on Mockler's hands there was no issue but once the ego got hit the tantrum happens.
Rules for MaGa? They don't follow no stinkin' rules! Rules are for the non-MaGa
I suspect Scott will become head of programming at CNN once Paramount takes over. 🙈
Just another weal, little MAGA man... 🖕
Adam's truth was in his face. Scott Jennings is a despicable toadie.
I’m behind Adam 100%, & Jennings is a moron
He’s breaking under the pressure of being a non-stop asshole!
It’s been weeks that Jennings has been unusually calm when Mockler has challenged him. I was waiting for the pressure to get to Jennings…
CNN is trying to become FOX 4 FOOLS on Steroids -- It's Working --BOYCOTT Jennings & CNN‼️
That p.o.s. has needed to be put out to pasture for way too long. He is repulsive beyond words.
That's quite an intense look on his face, wonder what got him so worked up. 😠
Finger pointing is a bit aggressive
The pointy finger is OK though.
We have to quit doing these comparisons saying oh Trump blah blah but his people blah blah and start thinking ahead to what he’ll do next so we can stop it not comment about it for days afterwards. Play their shell game and only I review people that are not his grunts.
Where in your experience did you get the idea these MAGA rats people are fair or just? C’mon. This is not grade school. It's a quagmire.
The right considers that a badger of honor now.
It’s highly enjoyable to see a rabid Nazi scumbag propagandist like CNN’s Scott Jennings meltdown on national television because he can’t face being called out for his repugnant views.
I can't understand why they don't 86 this guy.
I never watch CNN, anymore. I am sorry I missed this
He's a racist asshole 🙄
CNN has gone to shit and the Ellisons haven’t even taken over yet.
How about not watching cnn
That’s what they pay him for. He’s in the conversation and that’s all that matters.
In a world full of Scott Jenningses, be an Adam Mockler.
Jenner and his smug arrogance instead of intelligence, is the dinosaur of tv news output … he needs to be consigned to the scrap heap of history. Mockler is the future … and the bright star, frankly.
CNN Hires Jennings for exactly this behavior. News as wrestling has been their MO for over a decade which is why i wont watch them. They’re useless. About to become worse when the Paramount deal goes through.
Scott is a soulless asshole. Adam Mockler is the future of America's journalism.
Can’t wait until one day Mockler runs for office!
Mockler rocks… Over 2 million followers on YouTube… @adammockler.com
Jennings melted like a snowflake.
Jennings has a lifetime membership at the club of the most nauseous, arrogant hypocrites.
Scott Jennings is a buffoon and I stopped watching CNN when they brought him onboard. Also not a fan of Dana Bash.
I wish CNN would fire Scott Jennings. I never watch when he's on.
Scott Jennings is a television performer. But you can only do the tricks he does if you remove your spine.
Jennings was so mad at Adam Mockler the other day he was shaking then resorted to using the F word on national TV. If Jennings can't handle a little push back on his right wing talking points, he needs to get another line of work.
This whole admin is all PERFORMATIVE, including Jennings SMALL MINDED
He sucks, and CNN sucks for paying him.
He’s more MAGA than the people who are MAGA. It’s unwatchable garbage.
He doesn’t have a self respecting bone in his entire body, no integrity, no respect, no self awareness. Just a walking talking regurgitating shit thrower. What a waste of talent.
SERENDIPITY! Adam Mockler word slapped Scott Jennings triggering a “F#()k!ng face” reaction when he couldn’t answer the question 😂🤣🤣 The Universe heard the call!
I have NEVER said that Scott Jennings goes home every night and jerks off to photos of Eva Braun. I have never even alluded to it. I don’t know where you’d get that idea.
Jennings has the most punchable face! Well, one of the most punchable faces…
but to have a truly balanced news show, we need someone to represent the opinion of the drunk redneck spouting nonsense at the bar
This is why no MAGA candidate will enter a debate during midterms. They’re wrong, they can’t win and the know it.
Scott Jennings is one reason I have never watched this program! Even though I am interested in most other guests! If you employ an ahole like Jennings I don’t want anything to do with your network! @cnn.com
Cannot stand Scott Jennings. He is nothing more than a Trump bootlicker.
I don't see how you can defend continuing to employee him.
Scott Jennings REALLY needs to go.
Excuse me, but how has it happened that men have become so juvenile? Rhetorically placed perhaps, but more and more we’ve allowed the Patriarchy to install masks and shields on every stilted human being, hence these wooden and defensive cartoons positioned to protect the creaking structure.
I bet his wife is an “Expectant Widow” too! Too soon? In bad taste? You’re probably right. It’s just: “aaarrgh” every day.
FUCK SCOTT JENNINGS. What a piece of crap. Adam did a masterful job of rattling Scott's cage. Scott is so sad that Adam is so much faster, smarter and WAY more articulate than Scott could ever be. Scott's rude ass should be kicked off CNN forever.
As soon as Trump-Paramount takes over he’ll be promoted. Saying this is an unserious country isn’t even in the ballpark of explaining how goddamn stupid this country is.
If that happens I might start watching again! I can’t be the only one who hates Scott.
People like Scott or why mainstream media is failing and will be done for within the next year! Just my two cents
Scott Jennings better be off the set when they come back from break. That is uncalled for behavior.
And I saw that happen in real-time when that one hack edgelord took a cheap shot at Mehdi Hasan and Abby apologized for everyone in the chain and dude was banned on the spot
Did they let him back? Disgraceful, @cnn.com
Meh. Jennings just looked silly. But we shouldn't want him banned from the air any more than we should want Jimmy Kimmel banned from the air.
