Abby Phillip Turns the Tables After Scott Jennings Defends Trump Renaming Kennedy Center for Himself: 'I'm Glad You Said

That, Because…’

CNN’s Abby Phillip caught Scott Jennings a bit off-guard on Friday’s CNN NewsNight, after the Republican strategist defended President Donald Trump’s renaming of the Kennedy Center for himself.

-snip-

PHILLIP: What happens when the next Democratic president just decides, you know, “We’re gonna call it the Obama-Lincoln Memorial? We’re just gonna slap, you know, Bill Clinton’s name on something, anything arbitrarily.” Are you guys gonna be cool with that?”

JENNINGS: So you’re saying a Democrat would put Obama’s name on a statue that isn’t of him? That would make them look like the stupidest person that ever lived.

PHILLIP: Well, I’m glad you said that, because the Kennedy Center is literally a congressionally-named memorial.

not big enough to be a full dick.

He's also a neo-Nazi, a Klansman without the robe and pointy hat--which, incidentally, would fit his pointed head perfectly.

There once was a pundit on Night,
Who leapt to defend with great might:
“If names don’t align,
With statues divine,
That logic just can’t be quite right!”

Said Abby, with eyebrow arched high,
“Suppose future Dems give a try—
Rename with a whim,
Slap Clinton on him—
Would that make you cheer or cry ‘why’?”

He scoffed at the thought, unimpressed:
“A mismatch like that? It’s a mess!
To name what’s not true
Would make quite the to-do—
A choice not exactly the best.”

She smiled, then delivered the key:
“That’s Congress’s call, you see.
The Center you cite
Was named by law’s might—
So irony’s plain as can be.”

It was a typical bad faith, smartass response devoid of intellectual integrity. Of course she wasn't suggesting Democrats would do it.

You didn't see that one coming?

Their collective stupidity is the only thing we have going for us right now.

Probably left the interview and assaulted his PR handler.

Pea brain that is.
Abby Phillips didn't even have to try; Jennings did all the work for her.
