CNN Panel Gets Into Near Shouting Match As Scott Jennings Brings Up Doug Emhoff’s Alleged Scandals

A CNN panel got into a heated debate Tuesday as the network’s senior political commentator Scott Jennings brought up second gentleman Doug Emhoff’s alleged mistreatment of women.

The panel discussed rapper Eminem’s harsh criticisms of Republican nominee Donald Trump’s during a rally in Detroit, Michigan, alongside former President Barack Obama. Jennings said that Eminem has said derogatory words about women and even allegedly promoted domestic violence, but yet the public continues to chastise Trump for his alleged treatment of women.

“I think this Eminem thing, I got to tell you. So everything that’s said about Donald Trump and his treatment of women and the gender gap in this campaign. This rapper, who I fully admit has sold a lot of records, if you’ve read some of the things he has said about the promotion of domestic violence against women,” Jennings said, leading commentator Bakari Sellers to interrupt. “No, no, Bakari, I listened to your entire filibuster, if you could just give me 13 seconds.”

Jennings then pointed to the allegations against Emhoff, who has been accused of slapping his ex-girlfriend, making “misogynistic” and “sexist” remarks to his former female staffers and of impregnating his nanny while married to his first wife, Kirsten. Sellers then interrupted Jennings to call his statements “B.S.,” while CNN host Abby Phillips falsely said Trump had been found liable of rape.

“So when you think about the things has said in order to sell those records, and you also consider some of the questions that are swirling around Harris’ own husband in this regard,” Jennings said, before being interrupted once again.
