I’ll be honest - at this point, I’m not sure how Scott Jennings stays sane, sitting in a roomful of batcrap crazy leftists in the CNN studio day after day. But thank God for him. Because otherwise, the self-aggrandizing libs that make up the rest of the panel would be able to spew their outright lies unchecked by anyone willing to call out their rampant dishonesty.
There was perhaps no greater display of leftwing revisionist history than on a CNN panel this week debating top Trump officials’ use of Signal to discuss sensitive details of an upcoming military operation.
Dan Koh, who served as the White House Deputy Cabinet Secretary under Joe Biden, claimed the whole “signalgate” debacle put “American soldiers at risk” without “the proper care it deserves,” complaining there were “no consequences” for anyone involved.
This is one of the most BRUTAL exchanges I've ever seen on CNN.

LIB: "Secretary Austin never compromised American lives..."
JENNINGS: "13 American lives?! They were more than compromised, they were ENDED."@ScottJenningsKY does not miss. pic.twitter.com/0Ag73R2ZuK
Jennings waited patiently for Koh to finish his diatribe before asking, “Do you recall a single person in your White House or in your Democratic Party asking for the resignation of Lloyd Austin after Afghanistan, after the drone strike vaporized those kids, or after he went AWOL, yes or no?”
“Secretary Austin never compromised American lives,” Koh responded.

To which a clearly flabbergasted Jennings shot back, “Thirteen American lives? They were more than compromised, they were ended.”
He’s right, of course - whether Democrats want to admit it or not. Thirteen American soldiers died during the botched Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021, an operate ordered by then-President Joe Biden and executed by then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, and which also left hundreds of American citizens stranded while turning billions of dollars’ worth of weaponry and equipment over to the Taliban.
But I guess using an encrypted chat to discuss a military strike against some flip-flop pirates is way worse than getting more than a dozen Marines straight-up killed. After all, it’s (D)ifferent.
