MSNBC Host Skewers Scott Jennings as 'Paid Liar' for Trump [View all]

MSNBC Host Skewers Scott Jennings as ‘Paid Liar’ for Trump
Lawrence O’Donnell tore into CNN for hiring someone who believes “lying for Donald Trump on TV is an honorable pursuit.”

Tom Sanders

MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell launched a scathing critique of CNN’s Scott Jennings, accusing the MAGA pundit of being a paid liar for Donald Trump and proof of the network’s decline.

O’Donnell’s take on CNN’s stewardship under Trump-supporting CEO Mark Thompson singled out Jennings for his unscrupulous views.

Following the departure of veteran reporters such as Jim Acosta earlier this year, “everyone who remains has become much more careful in anything they might even think of saying about Donald Trump,” O’Donnell said on The Last Word.

From that void emerged Jennings, he continued, who CNN “eagerly pays to lie every day and every night for Donald Trump.”
