Jennings made a statement questioning the emphasis on\u200c diversity, equity, \u2062and inclusion (DEI)\u2063 in the Los Angeles Fire Department, \u200casking how much it matters\u200b to\u2063 people what color the \u200dfirefighters are when thier house\u200d is \u200don\u2062 fire. This sparked a heated response from Crockett and \u200bother panelists, who interrupted Jennings \u2063and expressed their frustrations.<\/p>\n<p>Crockett claimed that black \u2063women are currently\u200d the most educated demographic \u200cin the\u200b United States, which raises questions about the necessity of \u2062DEI initiatives if \u200cthey have equal access to educational opportunities.She then <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">made unrelated comments<\/a> about her\u2064 ancestors building the White House \u200dto redirect the conversation and challenge \u200cJennings&#8217;s assertion on the DEI\u2064 focus. <\/p>\n<p>The \u200carticle \u2064criticizes Crockett&#8217;s approach, describing it as a manipulation tactic and\u2062 highlighting \u2063her failure to address\u200c the core\u200c argument Jennings presented. Ultimately, Jennings is portrayed as maintaining composure while engaging with opponents who resort to invalid arguments and emotional appeals rather than addressing the \u200dactual topic of discussion.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>When dealing with the many avowed racists in the Democratic Party, how does one find any common ground?<\/p>\n<p>After all, one recognizes the obvious contradictions, bullying tactics, and red herrings in what passes for their arguments. But they see none of these things, so what can one do besides sigh and shake one&rsquo;s head?<\/p>\n<p>CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings must have wondered as much on Wednesday when his simple, truthful statement about the Los Angeles Fire Department&rsquo;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/la-fire-departments-dei-obsession-comes-light-devastating-wildfire-rages\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">obsession<\/a> with diversity, equity, and inclusion triggered an unfathomably asinine response from Congress&rsquo;s most unapologetic racist, Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett of Texas.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;If your house was burning down,&rdquo; Jennings said in a clip posted to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-new-acting-attorney-general-jeff-rosen-recently-wrote-an-essay-on-foreign-influence-in-us-elections-this-tells-us-a-little-about-his-knowledge-of-whats-going-on-today\/\" title=\"The New Acting Attorney General Jeff Rosen Recently Wrote an Essay on Foreign Influence in US Elections \u2013 This Tells Us A Little About His Knowledge of What\u2019s Going On Today\">social media platform<\/a> X, &ldquo;how much do you care what color the firefighters are?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Few CNN employees have ever posed a more reasonable rhetorical question. Nearly all Americans, of course, would answer that they care nothing about the firefighters&rsquo; skin color.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>Jennings, however, made that comment on a panel that featured three black women, including Crockett and host Abby Phillip. All three <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/sunny-hostin-denies-she-compared-white-women-to-roaches-for-voting-gop\/\" title=\"Sunny Hostin Denies She Compared White Women To \u2018Roaches\u2019 For Voting GOP\">women began talking<\/a> over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/why-ron-desantis-is-the-man-to-lead-the-great-american-comeback\/\" title=\"Ron DeSantis: Leading the American Comeback\">conservative long<\/a> before he finished speaking.<\/p>\n<p>Then, Phillip asked Crockett to respond, at which point the contradictions, bullying tactics, and red herrings came one after another.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I am so tired &mdash; You know what, there was an article that just came out that said that actually the most educated demographic in this country right now is black women,&rdquo; the congresswoman said.<\/p>\n<p>Now, imagine for a moment that Crockett told the truth about the country&rsquo;s most educated demographic. Would that not mean that black women actually enjoyed the greatest access to educational opportunities? In that case, why would they need the hiring preferences associated with DEI?<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the congresswoman kept talking.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;We are looking at qualifications,&rdquo; she said moments later, referring to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/think-kamala-bad-vp-look-woman-shortlist-just-wildfire-racked-los-angeles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Los Angeles&rsquo;<\/a> female, DEI-obsessed fire chief.<\/p>\n<p>By definition, of course, the opposite holds true. When you look at skin color, sexual preferences, or other markers of &ldquo;identity,&rdquo; you necessarily look at something other than qualifications.<\/p>\n<p>It got worse &mdash; much, much worse.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The last time I checked, y&rsquo;all didn&rsquo;t say that anything was wrong with the White House,&rdquo; the raving congresswoman said, &ldquo;and I can promise you, it was my ancestors that built the White House.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>One suspects that most readers can now recognize that pathetic tactic a mile away. Racist liberals invoke slavery when they wish to silence their opponents. Crockett&rsquo;s comment had no other purpose. Nor did it have any relevance to Jennings&rsquo;s broader point about not caring how firefighters look.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, the intellectually dishonest and overmatched congresswoman threw in a red herring for good measure.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;Stop trying to act as if only white men are the ones that are capable because right now you sitting a table with three very capable black women,&rdquo; Crockett said. At that point, she turned to Jennings and mercifully stopped speaking.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/scott-jennings-sends-caitlin-clark-warning-white-privilege-groveling-will-never-enough\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jennings<\/a>, of course, neither said nor implied anything of the kind.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">JUST IN: Rep.
