A Republican consultant who worked for the George W. Bush campaign got his head handed to him Friday during a panel discussion on the January 6 hearings and who is ultimately blame for what took place on that fateful day.
Scott Jennings, who has also served as an adviser to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) agreed that failed, one-term former president Donald Trump should not be allowed to run for office again, but then suggested Democrats also had culpability in the Capitol riots:
“I don’t think people who have lost all faith in institutions fully exist on the right. it is clearly also existing on the left, and I know right now, I mean, for as much as Donald Trump’s people want to smash Congress and do what they want to do on January 6th, there are people right now who would, I’m sure would love to do that to the United States Supreme Court and urging Joe Biden to bypass the Supreme Court and bypass Congress and essentially rule by executive –“
Former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Eliott Williams cut Jennings off to interject:
Jennings attempted to recover:
But Juliette Kayyem, who worked in the Department of Homeland Security, was having none of Jennings or his bullshit:
Jennings:
Once more, Kayyem was quick to slam Jennings:
“Whatever you believe, Scott, about what the Democrats are doing, just give us a break here on this one, that Trump actually directed the violence — you don’t think he directed the violence?”
Jennings was then forced to admit that Trump was the instigator of the horror on Jan. 6:
“Yes, of course, I do. I said it many times, but I’m telling you David’s [Axelrod] is correct, there is a whole group of Americans who have given up on our process and institutions and they don’t fully exist on the right, which I think you think they do, but I don’t believe they do. “
But people on the left didn’t storm the Capitol or try to overturn an election. That was the Trump acolytes, led by their orange lord and savior. And that fact will never change.
