CNN contributor Scott Jennings recently made a media headline by denying participating in the ‘both sides’ rhetoric debate, showing his concern for the U.S. former president Donald Trump, who survived the second assassination attempt on him on Sunday, September 16.
A day later, on September 17, 2024, he tweeted, “I’m not interested in “the rhetoric on both sides” today. Trump is the target. He’s survived two assassination attempts… it’s probably too late to de-radicalize everyone who thinks the country will end if he wins.”
He also slammed two CNN hosts over radical rhetoric, saying that Donald Trump is the target, and it has happened twice.
