A CNN panel went off the rails as Scott Jennings locked horns with former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross during a discussion about President Donald Trump.
Jennings shot back at Cross after she told him he was “irrelevant” to the ridiculous point she was attempting to make about the Trump administration’s plan to “colonize” Greenland.

“It’s the colonizer’s attitude to say, I like it, I’m just going to steal it. Now, the fact of the matter is…” Cross was saying as Jennings interjected.
“Steal what?” he asked the former host of “The Cross Connection,” which was canceled by MSNBC in 2022.
“Land, land,” she exclaimed in response. “You cannot just go and say, ‘I like it, it’s mine now.’ It doesn’t work that way. That is what they’re trying to do. And in this new world order–”
Shaking his head with a chuckle over her rant, Jennings asked, “What?”
“Yeah, absolutely. When they’re looking at Greenland and say, I like it, I want to take it for mine. That is a very colonizer attitude,” Cross replied.
“I have never, ever said we’re going to go to Greenland and quote, colonize it. Or steal it. That’s crazy,” Jennings pointed out as Cross continued talking.
“I’m not even talking about you. You’re not a member of government, so you’re irrelevant at that point. I’m talking about the president of the United States!” Cross exclaimed.
Jennings didn’t miss a beat.
“You got fired from your job. How relevant are you?” he shot back.
Panelists jumped on Jennings for his “insult,” and the conservative dropped a reality check.
“You want to insult me…” he began as Cross interrupted, “Scott, if you want to engage in personal insults.”
“I don’t. But you do,” he replied.
“What you lack in a legitimate point. You make up for it in your personal insults,” the former MSNBC host declared, with no push back from the panel. “The point I am making is in this new world order, we are looking at countries, whether or not they’re an adversary or ally. It is being determined on what kind of deal we can get. And we cannot govern that way.”
“Why?” Jennings asked.
“We cannot legislate that way. We are increasingly isolated on the world stage,” Cross argued.
“No, we’re not,” Jennings emphasized. “We’re not isolated.”
With no further facts to make her case, Cross shot back at Jennings, “So if you want to engage in personal insults, I would reserve that for your party.”
