Scott Jennings Launches 1 Blunt Diss At Tucker Carlson For About-Face On Trump

Scott Jennings called Tucker Carlson a “moron” on Tuesday for saying he was sorry that he misled people into voting for Donald Trump after the president started a war against Iran. (Watch the video below.)

CNN host Kasie Hunt noted a 67% disapproval of the conflict, and turned to Carlson as an example of the “splintering in [Trump’s] MAGA base.”

On “The Arena,” she replayed Carlson’s viral interview in which he said he would be tormented by his backing of Trump in 2024 for a long time. “I’m sorry for misleading people,” he said. “It was not intentional.” He previously called the Trump-led aggression “disgusting and evil.”

Hunt turned to Jennings, one of CNN’s more polarizing GOP pundits, for his response.

“Is his preference that Kamala Harris had become the president of the United States… And what’s he sorry for?” Jennings said. “That we got into an engagement here that might ultimately lead to taking away nuclear weapons?”

Hunt called him out for using such a mild term to describe a war that Trump started.

“I mean, is he now claiming he had no idea that Donald Trump held the position that he would never permit Iran to have nuclear weapons?” Jennings continued. “If that’s what he’s saying today, he’s kind of a moron. I mean, I don’t know how else to put it, or he’s willfully misleading people.”

“The president was clear he’ll never let them have nuclear weapons,” Jennings said. “… I don’t get it.”

Jennings conveniently left out that Trump built his platform in part on a promise to avoid wars, and that Trump already said Iran’s nuke capability had been “obliterated” after U.S. strikes last year.

Trump has also declared victory in the war a few times, yet sputtering negotiations continue to disable Iran’s nuclear potential that the president said was already mitigated.
