‘Zip It!’ CNN’s Kate Bolduan and Scott Jennings Go at It in Heated Debate Over January 6

CNN’s Kate Bolduan told her colleague Scott Jennings to “zip it!” during a heated discussion about the January 6 Capitol riot and President Joe Biden’s legacy on Monday.

Addressing Jennings, Bolduan observed that “You can play all the soundbites from the days after [the riot] when you heard Republicans blaming Donald Trump, some short of saying he should be impeached, saying he should be held accountable. And four years later, we are here.”

“It is a stunning political comeback attributed to how Trump played it afterward, how Democrats played it afterward, or something else?” she asked.

“Well, I think it’s some mixture of everything. But to me, the big message is that in the United States, the people decide. And because of the disastrous four years that came after Donald Trump, the people decided to return Donald Trump to power. And that’s fundamentally what happened,” replied Jennings. “They looked at what happened on January the 6th, they looked at all the things Democrats claimed about Donald Trump. And they also analyzed every single decision that Joe Biden and Kamala Harris made. And they delivered Donald Trump a convincing four years.”

“It is tough, though, Scott, because when you say that people decide that’s what people tried to make sure didn’t happen on January 6th, was allowing the people to decide it,” fired back Bolduan as the pair continued to debate the point.

Eventually, Bakari Sellers jumped in to submit that “Donald Trump is inheriting one of the best economies that a president has inherited in a very long period of time” and “net migration at the border is lower than it was even before Donald Trump took office.”

“Okay. I mean, I recognize that was the argument that was made during the election. And I would also like to recognize that the American people soundly rejected that argument,” submitted Jennings in his response.

The trio continued to spar:

SELLERS: Prices are going down. What I am saying is murder rates-

JENNINGS: They’re not going down.

SELLERS: They actually are going down. Murder rates-

JENNINGS: They’re not. Inflation is still going up.

SELLERS: It’s plateaued.

BOLDUAN: It is decreasing in rate, which is the entire goal of the Federal Reserve.

JENNINGS: Are prices going down or not, just to be clear? No, they’re not and they’re-

BOLDUAN: They are down from their sky high rates, yes. Wait, wait, wait. Stop! Let’s move on. Next up for Republican-

SELLERS: We were just arguing over combat zones. I don’t know where we are this morning.

BOLDUAN: We’re- you can argue with-

JENNINGS: You guys are trying-

BOLDUAN: Zip it!

JENNINGS: -to paint a picture of a country that doesn’t exist! I don’t understand!

BOLDUAN: I’m not painting anything, I’m painting stop talking! That’s what I’m painting.
