CNN’s Scott Jennings rallies behind Pete Hegseth gushing he ‘kicked their a–es today’ – Daily Express US

It’s fair to say Scott Jennings was very proud of Pete Hegseth‘s handling of his confirmation hearing.
The CNN TV personality argued that the Defense Secretary-nominee kicked Democrats’ a—s during his confirmation hearing on Tuesday, praising his unbreakable composure.
The former Fox News star was questioned over allegations ranging from sexual assault to excessive drinking in the workplace. He denies any wrongdoing.
After being asked for his opinion on the hearing by co-anchor Dana Bash, Scott held nothing back.
“Well, in short, I think Pete Hegseth kicked their asses today. I mean, it wasn’t even close. They didn’t lay a glove on Hegseth. No mistakes. Calm, cool, collected,” Scott declared.“I mean, before the thing even started, you had this like, Code Pink, you know, protest or freak show, trying to disrupt the hearing. That’s the Democratic base, by the way, which probably explains why the Democrats on the committee acted in such a bizarre and unprofessional way,” he added.
Scott continued by ripping into some of the senators, admitting: “I was appalled at some of the way these senators handled themselves and some of the lines of questioning.
He then began listing off a handful of people in attendance to back up his point: “I mean, Tim Kaine sounded like a sex pervert in his questioning of Pete Hegseth. [Richard] Blumenthal, who lied about his service in Vietnam, questioning Hegseth’s qualifications.
“You had [Kirsten] Gillibrand, you had [Elizabeth] Warren, you had [Mazie] Hirono going on unhinged rants about things. Angus King obviously doesn’t understand what it’s like to fight terrorism, on and on and on.”

It would be difficult for a Republican to vote against Hegseth after the Democrats’ unseemly mudslinging today.
In one notable segment of the hearing, Senator Kaine (D-VA) interrogated Pete about his infidelities.
“Can you so casually cheat on a second wife and cheat on the mother of a child who had been born two months before? And you tell us you are completely cleared. So how is that completely cleared?” asked Kaine while grilling Hegseth about a sexual assault allegation against him.
As of Tuesday, it’s unclear whether the veteran and former Fox News host has convinced the Senate Armed Services Committee to refer his nomination to the full chamber for a vote.Get all the latest news, entertainment, sport and lifestyle updates from our dedicated American team.
