Toure struggled to respond, \u200dappearing confused which led to a moment\u200d of silence and discomfort for him.Jennings highlighted Toure&#8217;s \u200cillogical comments that suggested the \u2063FBI was in control of the \u2062military, implying fears of dictatorship\u2063 under the current administration.<\/p>\n<p>The writer critiques CNN for allowing such a lackluster performance and suggests \u2064a more <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">rigorous\u2064 vetting \u2064process<\/a> for its panelists, particularly those expressing extreme or unsupported views. Additionally, \u200djennings used humor to \u200bmake light of the absurdity of the conversation, criticizing liberal commentators for denying their previous statements. the piece aims to portray Jennings as a more knowledgeable\u200d and articulate\u2063 figure compared to his\u200d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/survey-majority-of-liberal-college-students-are-not-proud-to-be-american\/\" title=\"Survey: Majority Of Liberal College Students Are Not Proud To Be American\">liberal counterpart<\/a>, while also \u2064critiquing CNN&#8217;s \u2062panel selection.  <\/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><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Consider this an olive branch toward the establishment media, for CNN desperately needs help.<\/p>\n<p>After all, by now network executives must have reached the bottom of the barrel in their constant search for liberal panelists eager to expose themselves as driveling nincompoops while having their backsides handed to them by conservative commentator Scott Jennings.<\/p>\n<p>In a clip posted late Wednesday 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, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/watch-scott-jennings-teaches-cnn-panelists-federal-government-works-melt-dan-bongino-appointment\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jennings<\/a> posed an obvious-yet-devastating question about the military and the president&rsquo;s power under the Constitution that left one unhinged liberal panelist silent and unable to respond &mdash; except by contorting his face.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The president is in charge of the military, is he not?&rdquo; Jennings asked.<\/p>\n<p>The panelist, a writer who goes by the name Toure, merely squinted and tilted his head in confusion.
