Conservative CNN pundit Scott Jennings laughed in the face of a fellow MAGA commentator and hurled insults at her during a debate.
Former Trump White House aide Caroline Sunshine interrupted a debate hosted by CNN anchor Abby Phillip on Thursday by admitting that she didn’t know that conflicts between Iran and the U.S. have been going on for nearly five decades, as Jennings asserted.
The debate started over whether Congress should put more guardrails in place to check Trump’s war powers in Iran. Jennings mocked the idea that guardrails should be in place so the U.S. can be “all rainbows and unicorns with the Iranians,” considering that “they’ve been at war with us for 47 years.”
That’s when Sunshine chimed in by demanding why she didn’t know about the 47 years of conflict, explaining, “The first time I’ve heard about the 47-year Iran war was like this year.”
“I’m sorry you don’t read much,” Jennings responded before laughing in her face and shaking his head.
“We don’t teach about the 47-year war with Iran in school,” Sunshine continued. “Like, it’s insulting to actual conflicts that we’ve been involved in.”
Jennings kept scoffing at Sunshine as she spoke, adding, “It’s an insult to your intelligence that you have no idea what the Iranians have done.”
Although Sunshine and Jennings kept speaking over each other, Sunshine asked, “Why have our soldiers been over there?” and pressed Jennings to make it clear what the U.S. goals in Iran should be and what it should be prepared to lose.
“If we’re going to keep going with this, what number of American troops are we willing to commit to keep going, and like, what’s your number?” Sunshine asked. “Like, how many U.S. troops are you willing to expend to achieve your objectives and what amount of money?”
“What amount of money am I willing to expend to keep the American people safe from the worst regime in the world?” Jennings responded. “A fair amount.”
