Chris Cuomo predicts Scott Jennings will eventually ‘flee MAGA’ — says he’ll have ‘a lot to answer for’

Chris Cuomo has a prediction about CNN political commentator Scott Jennings’ future “when he flees MAGA.”

Jennings was assessing the “current political landscape for Republicans ahead of the midterms” on his podcast, giving advice to the GOP as Americans barrel ahead toward November.

Watch:

“It’s tough out there, that’s true. The Real Clear Politics polling average has President Trump at about a 38.8% approval and nearly a 60% disapproval. He’s underwater but more than 21 points,” he pointed out.

“But Republicans would be foolish to wave it away,” he continued. “Voters are telling us the environment is difficult, and affordability is a major reason why. You can’t talk people out of their lived experience. They know it’s expensive; it would be foolish to try. But what can you do? You can acknowledge it. You can give them an honest assessment of how we got here and why. And you can tell them what you’ve done about it and what you plan to do.”

“And you can create a contrast with the opposition. What would Democrats do if handed power? Would impeaching Donald Trump, opening the border and raising taxes make gas cheaper? Of course not,” he added. “But that is the general plan that you get from most Democratic discourse. You can have this debate and you can also remind people from whence we came. Most of the high cost of living people are experiencing now happened under Democrats. To hear them screeching today, blaming Republicans is akin to the arsonist shouting at the firefighters; they aren’t bringing the buckets fast enough.”

Also pointed out that Democrats are once again suing the Trump administration, this time over changes to the public charge rule.

“The question is simple, when someone asks to come to America permanently, should the government be allowed to consider whether that person is likely to depend on public assistance, aka welfare?” Jennings explained. “Do we want massive numbers of immigrants coming here who are likely to immediately go on welfare? Who will become public charges? It is a fair question if you are so concerned about affordability and how we’re spending tax dollars and public resources. Why is your party suing to put as many noncitizens on welfare as possible?”

Apparently, this displeased NewsNation host Chris Cuomo, who responded on X.

“No accountability…just ‘they are worse’…this guy is going to have a lot to answer for when he flees maga,” Cuomo wrote.
