Scott Jennings was caught in CNN’s crosshairs as the entire panel attacked him over the contrived “scandal” involving Trump aide Natalie Harp.
Jennings had blasted Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) for a classless, baseless quip about Harp during a recent campaign speech.
“He golfs and trades stocks. See, he doesn’t want to do the job; he wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie to their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar,” Ossoff said.
Jennings shot back at Ossoff, calling him a “despicable coward” for the attack against Harp.

Jennings’ criticism of Ossoff hit a major nerve with the CNN panel that went off on him in apparent defense of the desperately needed “scandal.”
“If you’re gonna take that position, you better also be criticizing the way Donald Trump talks about women’s appearances and looks on a regular basis,” Mediaite founder Dan Abrams said. “So, I’m happy for someone to say, ‘Look, I think it was inappropriate. I think it was sexist.’ But you better also be saying that about Donald Trump, if I’m even gonna take you seriously.”
Jennings shot back, reiterating that an attack against Harp should be off limits.
“I expect Ossoff to criticize Donald Trump. I expect every Democrat running for president to criticize Trump. What I thought was appalling about this is that Harp is not a public figure,” Jennings argued.
“She’s not a household name. Nobody knows who she is. And when he injected her into this, he knew what he was doing, which is punching down on someone who’s effectively defenseless.”
That’s when the panel piled on, basically blaming Trump for setting the stage by ‘breaking all the rules.”

In another heated exchange, Jennings blasted former Bill Clinton aide Keith Boykin:
