Abby Phillip Turns the Tables After Scott Jennings Defends Trump Renaming Kennedy Center for Himself: 'I'm Glad You Said

That, Because…’

CNN’s Abby Phillip caught Scott Jennings a bit off-guard on Friday’s CNN NewsNight, after the Republican strategist defended President Donald Trump’s renaming of the Kennedy Center for himself.

-snip-

PHILLIP: What happens when the next Democratic president just decides, you know, “We’re gonna call it the Obama-Lincoln Memorial? We’re just gonna slap, you know, Bill Clinton’s name on something, anything arbitrarily.” Are you guys gonna be cool with that?”

JENNINGS: So you’re saying a Democrat would put Obama’s name on a statue that isn’t of him? That would make them look like the stupidest person that ever lived.

PHILLIP: Well, I’m glad you said that, because the Kennedy Center is literally a congressionally-named memorial.

Trump fluffers have no shame.

1. Plus, the Kennedy Center houses a huge bust of Kennedy. Trump slapped his name on that. nt

2. Jennings is foreskin---

not big enough to be a full dick.

He's also a neo-Nazi, a Klansman without the robe and pointy hat--which, incidentally, would fit his pointed head perfectly.

3. Abby Phillip

There once was a pundit on Night,
Who leapt to defend with great might:
“If names don’t align,
With statues divine,
That logic just can’t be quite right!”

Said Abby, with eyebrow arched high,
“Suppose future Dems give a try—
Rename with a whim,
Slap Clinton on him—
Would that make you cheer or cry ‘why’?”

He scoffed at the thought, unimpressed:
“A mismatch like that? It’s a mess!
To name what’s not true
Would make quite the to-do—
A choice not exactly the best.”

She smiled, then delivered the key:
“That’s Congress’s call, you see.
The Center you cite
Was named by law’s might—
So irony’s plain as can be.”

6. I guarantee he did not even understand what she said. (n/t)

7. Jenning's reply was so typically Republican.

It was a typical bad faith, smartass response devoid of intellectual integrity. Of course she wasn't suggesting Democrats would do it.

10. Yeah, but it was obvious where she was going with it.

And he walked right into that wall. What a maroon!!!

[MLWR]

8. This is why when I find out the "host" is republican, I switch to a different station/program.

[paleotn]

9. Jeebers these people are dumb.

You didn't see that one coming?

Their collective stupidity is the only thing we have going for us right now.

[Orrex]

11. You get the sense that Jennings thought he had a real checkmate zinger there

Probably left the interview and assaulted his PR handler.

12. Kennedy

A draft dodger linking his name with a World War II hero doesn't go over well.

13. Jennings bought a pea shooter to a gun fight.

Pea brain that is.
Abby Phillips didn't even have to try; Jennings did all the work for her.

14. "Trump fluffers have no shame." tRump fluffer...I like that...very fitting for these people...nt

16. Scott Jennings is a weak, uninteresting, unlikeable man who lives vicariously through the con artist.

It's quite pathetic.
