Just a day after CNN”s resident right-winger Scott Jennings descended into a profane attack on a rising Democrat guest, a second leading conservative lost it.
NewsNation commentator — and ex-Fox News legend — Geraldo Rivera attacked the Democrats’ new darling Adam Mockler — a day after Jennings fumed into an F-bomb-laden attack on CNN’s NewsNight with Abby Phillip.
Rivera addressed the incident with colleague Chris Cuomo on Friday.
“Chris, the kid was a d—… he was really being a d—,” Rivera said.
“Shut up! Go out and get some life experience!” he added in an imagined conversation with the young Democrat. Regarding Jennings’ outburst, Rivera observed there was “a freshness about it.”
Cuomo slapped back. “Being annoying, slash insistent — and was also right” about Jennings, who previously served as special assistant to former President George W. Bush, Cuomo stated on Instagram.
However, he cautioned: “Disagree with decency.”
Jennings vented fury as he got into a debate over Iran with the Democratic Party pundit Mockler — and Mockler got expressive with his hands as he argued Trump was losing.
“Get your f—— hand out of my face!” snapped Jennings “I’m not gonna have this guy’s hand in my face.”
Phillip intervened, stating: “Hey, hey, whoa, whoa, whoa guys.”
The outburst was instantly mocked. “Scott Jennings just humiliated himself live on air,” wrote Democratic commentator Harry Sisson on X.
Cuomo told Rivera he opposed Jennings’ language, noting that despite temptations both men have faced throughout their careers, “you would never allow yourself to act that way” for engagement metrics. “I hear that,” Rivera conceded, though the 82-year-old refused to retreat from his own Mockler criticism.
