Ticker: Testy Exchange Takes Place Between Scott Jennings and Adam Mockler on CNN NewsNight

  • On Thursday, GOP strategist Scott Jennings cursed at progressive commentator Adam Mockler during a heated debate on CNN's 'NewsNight,' telling him to 'Get your f***ing hand out of my face' over the Iran conflict.
  • The confrontation erupted after Mockler criticized Jennings for defending 'prior endless wars' while serving in the administration of former President George W. Bush, prompting Jennings to call him 'hyper' and claim he had the 'attention span of a gnat.'
  • Mockler pushed Jennings to name 'one political concession' that Iran has granted the United States, which Jennings dismissed by asserting the U.S. role is simply 'to keep terrorists and a terrorist regime from having a nuclear weapon.'
  • Following the broadcast, the MeidasTouch Network posted that the behavior was 'absolutely UNHINGED,' while California Gov. Gavin Newsom's office shared the clip and CNN anchor Abby Phillip intervened to calm the panel.
  • With a March CNN poll finding nearly six in 10 Americans did not support the war, this incident illustrates the intense polarization surrounding current U.S. foreign policy and military engagement.
