The mainstream media has never been great with keeping facts straight. But this is embarrassing.
Because a CNN panel exploded into chaos after a Republican said this simple sentence.
CNN Panel Loses It Over Jennings’ Spot-On Comparison
A CNN panel erupted in outrage when conservative commentator Scott Jennings boldly likened Democratic politicians’ pandering to Minnesota’s Somali community—such as wearing hijabs for photo ops—to the dystopian forced conformity in The Handmaid’s Tale, exposing the network’s intolerance for unflinching truth.
The meltdown occurred during a discussion on recent gestures by Minnesota Democrats amid ongoing welfare fraud scandals tied to the community.
Jennings pulled no punches: “This is like something out of The Handmaid’s Tale where they’re all dressing up in these red robes and the headgear. It’s bizarre.”
He highlighted the hypocrisy of progressives who champion women’s rights yet engage in what he called performative cultural appropriation for votes.
Panelists Clutch Pearls in Denial
Co-panelist Ashley Allison immediately accused Jennings of insensitivity: “That was a really offensive comment.”
Democratic strategist Keith Boykin piled on, claiming: “You’re being Islamophobic.”
Jennings stood firm, countering that the real issue is politicians exploiting cultural symbols for political gain while ignoring massive taxpayer-funded fraud under Democratic oversight.
The exchange devolved as host Abby Phillip struggled to regain control, with Allison demanding: “Do you think that that was an appropriate comment?”
Jennings doubled down: “I think it’s bizarre that American politicians are dressing like they’re in The Handmaid’s Tale to go pander for votes.”
Exposing Media Double Standards
This latest CNN freakout underscores the network’s pattern of shielding Democrats from scrutiny—even on blatant pandering—while amplifying accusations of bigotry against anyone calling it out.
As billions in alleged fraud continue to plague Minnesota programs, Jennings’ analogy cuts through the noise, highlighting how such stunts distract from real accountability issues that burden American taxpayers.
