CNN’s Scott Jennings completely schooled last night’s CNN panel on why they should give Pete Hegseth a chance as President-elect Trump’s Secretary of Defense.

Jennings has proven himself over and over on CNN though this election cycle and last night was no different, explaining to the table just how broken Pentagon leadership currently is and why they shouldn’t just dismiss an American hero like Hegseth because he’s on TV.

Watch:

 
Here’s the transcript via Western Lensman:

“Does anyone have confidence in the current leadership of the Pentagon? And the way the defense situation has been operating for the last several years? I mean, from the Afghanistan pullout, which was an extreme debacle for which no one was held accountable. We’ve had spy balloons flying over the United States. We built a $300 million pier as a public relations stunt, which wound up killing an American service member.

“I hear all the criticism of him is that he’s not the expected Washington pick. And I’m just saying to you that the American people just voted against the expected Washington pick.”

“He’s got 20 years in service. Afghanistan, Iraq. Two bronze stars. Princeton, Harvard. Yeah, he’s on TV, but so are the rest of us.”

I love the line, “And I’m just saying to you the American people just voted against the expected Washington pick.”

BOOM! That was fantastic.

Jennings went on to explain that Hegseth will have to prove himself just like anyone else in the new administration, but at the very least people should give him a chance.

Of course we know they won’t. Because the garbage media’s job right now is to oppose Trump at every turn, to try and make him and Republicans look as bad as they possibly can so that a Democrat actually wins four years from now.
