Watch: Scott Jennings Leaves Race-Baiting Journalist Sputtering on Camera, With Reminder of How Dems Treat Blacks Who Defy Them
The text describes a CNN panel moment in which former *Daily Beast* editor-in-chief John Avlon argues that the Republican Party is so racist it hasn’t elected a Black Republican governor since Reconstruction (1865-1877). GOP strategist Scott Jennings challenges this claim by pointing out a counterexample from Virginia. the exchange leaves Avlon momentarily speechless while the host, Sara Sidner, reacts with amusement.
The article then cites Winsome Earle-Sears, the republican candidate for Virginia governor in 2025 and the first Black woman elected to statewide office in Virginia, explaining that she lost to Democrat Abigail Spanberger and was reportedly subjected to racist attacks during her campaign. It concludes by criticizing “liberals” for accusing conservatives of racism while, according to the author, ignoring what the author calls conservatives’ mistreatment or hypocrisy.
Liberals are so busy race-baiting that they forget their own hateful history of undermining black people who dare to leave the Democrat Plantation.
In the latest leftist clown show, former Daily Beast editor-in-chief John Avlon got owned by GOP strategist Scott Jennings while trying to demonize the entire Republican Party as racist.
The hilarity unfolded during a CNN panel discussion on Wednesday, when Avlon claimed the GOP is so racist that it hasn’t elected a black Republican governor since the Reconstruction Era.
Reconstruction (1865–1877) was the period in U.S. history following the American Civil War, which started because a Republican president — Abraham Lincoln — ended slavery.
“We haven’t had an African-American Republican governor since Reconstruction. There’s unfortunately an imbalance in the two parties,” Avlon said.
“Republicans tried to elect one in Virginia,” Jennings interjected.
Avlon was briefly stunned into silence after being confronted with this inconvenient fact.
“Okay…” the left-wing foghorn stammered.
At that point, liberal CNN host Sara Sidner — who’s black — couldn’t help but laugh.
“We’re gonna end this here. Everything is crumbling clearly at this table,” Sidner joked.

As a reminder, Winsome Earle-Sears was the Republican candidate for governor of Virginia in 2025. She lost to Democrat Abigail Spanberger, who is white.
Earle-Sears was the lieutenant governor of Virginia from 2022 to 2026. She made history as the first black woman elected to statewide office in Virginia.
During her gubernatorial campaign, Earle-Sears was the target of numerous racist attacks by Democrats.

It’s almost comical how liberals constantly accuse conservatives of being racist — all while hypocritically ignoring the long history of blatant racism they exhibit toward conservatives of all colors.
The left’s nonstop race-hustling proves the truism that, for Democrats, every accusation is a confession.
When leftists call someone a “racist,” they’re actually projecting their own racism onto their political opponents in order to silence them.
