Scott Jennings Verbally Brawls With CNN Panel Over Dem’s Epstein Files Stunt
Salem Radio Network host Scott Jennings clashed Thursday night with left-leaning CNN panelists over a Democratic congressman’s disclosure of six names from files involving registered sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
California Democratic Rep. Ro Khanna named six people listed in Epstein’s records in a Feb. 10 speech before the House of Representatives, only to backtrack after the Guardian reported that four of the people named were featured in a photo shoot and had no connection to the disgraced financier. Jennings said Khanna “doxed” the men, calling Democratic Rep. Tom Suozzi of New York when Suozzi was denouncing the American people’s loss of faith in government.

“What were you thinking when your colleague, Ro Khanna, came down to the house and punched four people who apparently had nothing to do with any of this? Did you think that was a good use of your time?” Jennings asked Suozzi, who replied, “I actually didn’t know that happened.”

“But wait. I’ve heard this brought up several times and, frankly, I don’t understand what the argument is. Are these people in the Epstein files?” “CNN NewsNight” host Abby Phillip asked, and Jennings responded, “Yes, that’s part of the problem.”
Police use photo lineups to identify people suspected of criminal activity, placing a suspect among several other photos of people resembling the person of interest, according to LegalClarity.org. Phillip and Jennings went back and forth about the four men the Guardian identified as members of the roster.
“Are they… wait. Are they victims of Jeffrey Epstein?” Phillip asked, and Jennings replied, “They are victims of Ro Khanna.”
“So… no. Are they victims of Jeffrey Epstein?” Phillip asked, while Jennings shot back, “I don’t think so.” »
The Justice Department released 3.5 million pages of documents from the files on Jan. 30, which included contacts Epstein had with several people in high positions.
“So what does the law say about whether or not their names should be redacted from the records?” Phillip asked, and Jennings replied, “It has nothing to do with redactions. It has to do with the fact that a member of Congress went down and doxxed people who did nothing wrong and had nothing to do with it.”
Phillips later claimed that the men had not been doxxed by Khanna, arguing that he had only named them before she claimed that removing their names would have violated the law.
Jennings accused Democrats of using the Epstein files in a manner similar to their use of the discredited Steele dossier during President Donald Trump’s first term during a Thursday afternoon appearance on CNN.
“You have Democrat after Democrat after Democrat, even Hillary Clinton not too long ago, only too happy to go on television and cast aspersions on her [Trump’s] character, using the idea that even though his name appears in the files, they’re trying to mislead the American people,” Jennings said on “The Arena with Kasie Hunt.”
