I'm taking up a collection to send CNN's Scott Jennings some soothing bum ointment after his Tezlyn Figaro encounter

A tense exchange on CNN played out Friday night when podcast host Tezlyn Figaro accused Republicans of rigging the system whenever they face electoral trouble – prompting immediate pushback from conservative commentator Scott Jennings.

The fireworks began during a discussion about the growing number of retirements on Capitol Hill when Figaro argued that GOP-led map changes in states like Texas amounted to cheating.

“If Republicans can’t win, they cheat,” Figaro said flatly, repeating the accusation multiple times as a clearly agitated Jennings attempted to interrupt – even as he appeared to battle a hoarse voice.

“How?” he asked, objecting to the use of the word “cheating” and insisting Republicans had followed the legal process.

For examples:

1968 - Nixon-Agnew dealt with North Vietnam to sabotage Paris peace talks

1980 - Reagan-Bush dealt with Ayatollah hostage takers

1988 - Bush pardons Weinberger and other Iran-Contra traitors to avoid trial and exposing his own role

2000 - Bush-Cheney count on GOP-leaning Supreme Court to “win” Florida and, thus, US election

2016 - Trump calls on Russia for help to defeat Hillary Clinton

The record is clear: In Presidential election after Presidential election, Republicans get away with treason.

And after they “win,” Corporate McPravda tells We the People to, “Move on.” And the GOP and the rich and corrupt bastards for whom they toil get away with it, again.
