<p>CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings responded to billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk&#8217;s call for a new, independent political party — and he argued that Musk&#8217;s efforts were likely to do more harm than good.</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 16px;">Jennings made the point during a panel discussion on CNN&#8217;s &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; arguing that the kind of party Musk was proposing was likely to divide conservatives and Republicans, leaving the door open for Democrats to win — a possible outcome to which he was opposed.</span></p>

<p dir="ltr" lang="en">Scott Jennings&#8217; thoughts on Elon Musk forming a New America Party: &#8220;You may be dividing the forces of people who want to save Western civilization to the benefit of the people who don&#8217;t.&#8221; <a href="https://t.co/5EcPn5Xt5T">pic.twitter.com/5EcPn5Xt5T</a></p>

<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s harder than it looks to start a political party,&#8221; Jennings began. &#8220;And, you know, we&#8217;ll see where they go with it. My humble advice to Elon, who I admire very much, actually, is that you may be dividing the forces of people who want to save Western civilization to the benefit of the people who don&#8217;t.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;And so to the extent that this effort would divide conservatives and Republicans against each other, that wouldn&#8217;t be helpful,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Because it would leave the country to people who want unfettered immigration, who don&#8217;t share your fiscal views, and so on and so forth — so we&#8217;ll see where it goes.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jennings concluded by touting the broad coalition that propelled President Donald Trump to victory in 2024, saying that he&#8217;d prefer to see those people stick together in the days ahead.</p>
<p>&#8220;I sort of hope everybody puts the band back together the way they had it in 2024 because when everybody was working together, things worked quite well,&#8221; Jennings concluded.</p>
<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m just curious, if they&#8217;re on the side of western civilization, what&#8217;s the other side of civilization that people want?&#8221; another panelist asked.</p>
<p>&#8220;Not western civilization,&#8221; Jennings replied. &#8220;Terrible. Not American values, not western civilization.&#8221;</p>
