“I mean, honestly, they’ve been at war with us for 47 years,” Jennings said during a panel discussion, repeating the ridiculous lie that the Trump administration has been spreading to justify the illegal Iran War.
“We all know Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with the letters I-R-A that we’re currently failing in, a war that’s going to cost us trillions and trillions more in debt,” said Mockler, a rising Gen Z progressive commentator.
“I was only a few years old when you were in the administration defending previous endless wars. Now, this war is failing.”
“Eight weeks is endless to you?
” interjected Jennings.
“Okay.
You said it was going to be four to six weeks,” said Mockler, gesturing for emphasis.
“You have the attention span of a gnat?
Is that what you have?” said Jennings, trying to smile it off, but getting more flustered with each passing moment.
“Homie, I debated you on TV four to six weeks ago and you said we were weeks away from it,” said Mockler.
“Now you’re making condescending remarks because you can’t defend the fact that this war is not going your way. Wait one more time—”
“Not going, not going your way—” said Jennings.
“Name one political concession—” said Mockler, gesturing towards Jennings, without getting too close.
“Get your f*cking hand out of my face first of all!”
snapped Jennings.
“Hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa guys, excuse me,” CNN’s Abby Phillip jumped in.
“Guys, excuse me. Hold on. Everybody hang tight.”
“I’m not going to have this guy’s hand on my face,” whined Jennings. “
Honestly.”
Mockler’s hand was, at no point, in his face.
“No.
Everybody calm down,” said Phillip. “Okay? We’re having a debate. You can respond to the points that he’s making.”
“Can you name a political concession that we’ve got here?
” said Mockler, unfazed by Jennings’ outburst.
Jennings, predictably, failed to answer the question and resorted to the usual MAGA lies about preventing Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon.
The fact that they’re still pushing that narrative despite U.S. intelligence agencies admitting that Iran wasn’t pursuing such a weapon shows that they’ve run out of ideas.
Here’s a simple litmus test.
If you get so embarrassed and frustrated defending your awful politics that you devolve into a swearing emotional mess, that’s a pretty good sign that you’re on the wrong side.
