In a heated segment on CNN, commentator Scott Jennings took aim at the Democratic Party, accusing them of organizing a “coup” against President Joe Biden. Jennings, known for his right-leaning views, often clashes with his fellow panelists, and his recent remarks sparked significant reactions.
During a Friday discussion hosted by Abby Phillip, Jennings expressed his frustration with the Democrats who, despite labeling themselves the “party of democracy,” are now seemingly attempting to oust their own sitting president. The panel included former CNN host Brian Stelter and other commentators who discussed the growing discontent within the Democratic Party regarding Biden’s ability to lead and his chances against former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
“I feel like I need to take up for the president here,” Jennings stated, drawing laughter from the panel. He continued, “Because he won millions and millions of votes to earn the Democratic nomination, and I find it delicious that the ‘party of democracy’ is now organizing a coup against the sitting President of the United States. It’s crazy!”
Jennings’ comments come amid reports that several prominent Democrats have expressed doubts about Biden’s cognitive abilities and his viability as a candidate in the next election. These concerns have led to increased tensions within the party, with some members calling for new leadership.
The segment highlighted the irony Jennings sees in the Democrats’ actions, accusing them of undermining their own principles. His pointed critique resonated enough to even elicit laughter from the typically liberal-leaning panelists.
Jennings shared the clip on social media, stating, “Folks, we need to take up for President Biden. The ‘party of democracy’ is organizing an undemocratic coup against our President, and we need to speak up for the very fabric of our Constitution.”
Jennings’ remarks underscore the ongoing debates and divisions within the Democratic Party as they navigate their political strategy for the upcoming presidential election. His call for defending Biden highlights the complexities and challenges facing the party as they address internal conflicts and prepare for the electoral battle ahead.
