‘That’s a Very Smug Way To Look at Me’: CNN Guest Not Happy With Glare From Scott Jennings
Social media influencer Leigh McGowan snapped at CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings on Tuesday for looking at her in “a very smug way.”
Reacting on CNN NewsNight to the crowd Vice President Kamala Harris managed to draw for her speech in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, Jennings said:
I mean, she’s gonna get 90% of the vote in Washington, D.C., so I would hope she could draw a crowd from her town that’s gonna give her the most support from a bunch of government bureaucrats. I would hope they would turn out for that. Look, I was sort of taken aback by the absolute full-on attack on Trump. We’ve heard it all before. It sounded a little frantic to me, to be honest, this close to the end of the election. I took a few notes. Again, they’re still pushing the lie about Project 2025. It doesn’t matter how many times she says it, Donald Trump did not write it, he has disavowed it. This is not his agenda. He has his own campaign agenda, it is not Project 2025–
McGowan interrupted, “No, it’s Agenda 47, which is exactly the same as Project 2025, and you can say that as many times as you want, Scott, but it’s not true.”
Jennings then rested his chin on his fist and stared at McGowan, prompting her to remark, “That’s a very smug way to look at me, my friend.”
Jennings laughed before sitting in silence as McGowan continued to criticize him.
“You’re totally overlooking what she has done here. She’s brought together 100,000 people to say, ‘I look forward to the future. I will be a president for everyone and not just a president for the people that I like,'” said McGowan. “And if you look at it in contrast to what we looked at Madison Square Garden, which said, ‘Hey man, we don’t like you, we don’t like you, we don’t like you, we don’t like you, we’re not for you, we’re not for you.’ And she’s saying everyone is an American, everyone will be taken care of.”
Host Abby Phillip then played a clip for the panel before Jennings could respond.
