Scott Jennings White Boards CNN Panel That ‘Can’t Tell The Good Guys From The Bad’

 CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings broke out the white board and markers to explain things to a CNN panel, several of whom he suggested were struggling to determine who were the good guys and who were the bad.

Jennings pointed to the two biggest stories in the news on Monday — the acquittal of Marine veteran Daniel Penny by a New York jury and the public execution-style murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson — and outlined who fell on which side.

“If you’re on the American Left tonight, here’s my chart,” Jennings said, displaying his white board. On the side marked “Good Guys,” Daniel Penny’s name was written — and under “Bad Guys” was Luigi Mangione, the suspect in the Thompson murder.

“The good guys today, Daniel Penny. The bad guys, Luigi Mangione,” he said. “It seems to me, everybody on the Left —”

And before Jennings could even finish making his point, guest host Audie Cornish proved it for him by interrupting to ask whether he had a similar chart for the “victims.”

“I’m just telling you what I see out in the world,” Jennings said as she continued to talk over him. “What I’m telling you is people on the left — people on the left can’t seem to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys.”

Cornish pressed again, asking whether Jennings believed, as Rep. Eli Crane (R-AZ) did, that Penny should receive a Congressional Gold Medal for heroism when he protected the people on his subway car from the threats and erratic behavior exhibited by Jordan Neely.

 

“I think he ought to get a medal, I think we ought to build a statue to this guy in New York City,” Jennings shot back.

Jennings also responded to Philadelphia Inquirer columnist Solomon Jones, who repeatedly claimed that “race plays a role” in cases like Penny’s and that when the accused were black, the punishments were harsher. Jennings brought up the case of Jordan Williams, a black man who stabbed a man on the subway after he’d allegedly harassed and assaulted several people including Williams’ girlfriend, and noted that Penny’s case had gone to trial while Williams’ had been dismissed.
