‘A Really Ugly Chapter’: Scott Jennings Destroys Dem Panelist Defending Biden’s Legacy

CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings laid into his fellow panelists on Sunday morning as they attempted to defend President Joe Biden’s legacy, saying that he didn’t believe the American people had not yet seen the worst of what the Biden administration had hidden from them.

Jennings delivered his assessment during a panel discussion on the network’s flagship Sunday political show, “State of the Union,” and he argued that the Biden legacy was only going to get more tarnished with time.

Democrat Karen Finney shared her thoughts on the matter first, giving him credit for navigating the COVID-19 pandemic and claiming that she believed the American people would look favorably on Biden’s record on the economy.

“Joe Biden’s record with regard to the things that he’s accomplished, I think will stand the test of time,” she began.

“It was very disturbing to learn late in the year about just how bad, how poor his health has become. And like many, I did not realize that it had gotten to that point,” she continued. “That being said, I think he’s still look, he showed up for the job. He got the work done. I think some of the accomplishments also in the Middle East and foreign policy will also stand the test of time.”

Jennings was not buying her assessment, however, and countered with his own take on the Biden legacy.

“You think the Middle East is in better shape today than when he took office?” Jennings asked, prompting Kinney to credit Biden with helping to secure the release of some of the hostages held by Hamas terrorists in Gaza. Jennings appeared unswayed by that argument as well.

“Look, I think he’s going to I think he’s going to leave office in disgrace! The Hunter Biden pardon was disgraceful. He’s going to be remembered largely for inflation and for the disastrous Afghanistan pullout,” Jennings continued, going on to argue that he expected things to look worse and worse for Biden and his as time went on.

“And I think as we continue to we’re just getting the first draft of this now. But as we continue to learn about the massive cover-up that went on, not about his health, but about his mental acuity to cover that up, the efforts that were undertaken by the White House staff, by his family, not in the last couple of months, but for all four years,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a really ugly chapter. It’s a diminished presidency because of it.”
