'Scott Jennings Does Not Deserve A Platform!': Ex-DC Cop Attacked On Jan. 6 Rips Trump Fan
HuffPost
Michael Fanone, who was attacked by a mob of MAGA voters during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol insurrection, called the CNN personality a blatant "opportunist."
Former D.C. Metropolitan Police Officer Michael Fanone earlier this week said CNN’s Scott Jennings “does not deserve a platform,” calling him “an opportunist” who curiously changed his mind about President Donald Trump to reap the benefits as a Republican heel on “NewsNight.”
A mob of MAGA voters attacked Fanone during the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot and he later suffered a heart attack. He joined Mediate reporter Tommy Christopher’s Substack for an interview on Wednesday, torching Jennings through much of it.
Christopher asked if there’s at least a benefit to “NewsNight” host Abby Phillip regularly calling Jennings out, but also noted that “she won’t call him a liar to his face.” While Phillip has done so on social media, Fanone argued “that’s the problem.
“The other thing she’s doing is she’s elevated Scott Jennings’ platform to a position now where he has this tremendous podcast and he’s become a darling of the right,” Fanone added. “Scott Jennings does not deserve a platform!”
Fanone also pointed out that Jennings regularly contradicts his own “relatively moderate views” from four or five years ago. Jennings called Trump an “authoritarian” in 2016 and said he “violated his oath of office” on Jan. 6.
