Liberal podcaster Pete Dominick exploded into a barrage of epithets and cursing on CNN after conservative commentator Scott Jennings trolled him about President Joe Biden’s sagging polling numbers and their effect on President-elect Donald Trump’s victory Tuesday night.
Jennings, a smooth operator who regularly appears on network panels, schooled Dominick about the beginning of Biden’s decline in the polls, which he said was instigated by the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan. “If you look at the arc of the Biden presidency, he was in really good shape until August of 2021 when Afghanistan happened,” Jennings recalled. “When Afghanistan happened, he went under 40, [Kamala Harris] went under 40, and they really lived there until the end of the presidency.”

Dominick didn’t wait much longer before interrupting. “Why?!” he asked loudly. “I’ll tell you why,” Jennings replied, “Because he ran and told us that the adults were back in charge, and that was the opposite of that.” The 2021 withdrawal became known for searing images of Afghans clinging to the wheels of departing U.S. aircraft, some falling to their deaths while hundreds overwhelmed the Kabul airport in desperate bids to escape. A suicide bomber in the crowd killed dozens of residents along with 13 U.S. service members. But none of that mattered to Dominick.
“Because Donald Trump is a child,” he sputtered back. Jennings didn’t miss a beat. “And you know what else? The fact that they wouldn’t give these thirteen service members’ families the time of day…” “Oh bulls***! Bulls*** dude,” the liberal guest defiantly yelled across the table. Rather than quell the tantrum, Jennings shook his head politely and let Dominick wear himself out as he alleged Trump called veterans “suckers and losers.”
Finally, Jennings just shrugged. “You’re still campaigning. It’s over brother.” “It’s not over! It’ll never be over!” the podcaster fired back, losing it again when guest Coleman Hughes agreed with Jennings. “We thought we were going to get normal, we were going to get competent” with Biden, he said. “We did!” Hughes added.
“The idea that Joe Biden made the final difficult decision and his administration and his military leaders… I mean you guys live on the tippy top of bulls*** mountain if you think that so many people think that the pullout of Afghanistan was the pivot point. Are you kidding me?”
“I can read a chart, and I can read a poll. I guess you can’t,” Jennings joked.
WATCH:
Scott Jennings is just toying with the libs at this point.
Make this dude press secretary and don’t think another second about it.

McCormick may be the second guest in just a few weeks to be booted from CNN after their appearances. Last month, the network kicked conservative author Ryan Girdusky off a panel mid-show after he joked to Medhi Hasan “I hope your beeper doesn’t go off,” a reference to Hasan’s anti-Israel stances and the country’s attack on Hezbollah. Host Abby Phillip apologized to viewers and later said that Girdusky would not be invited back on the network.
