Mockler and Jennings going at it on CNN
Wow Scott Jennings blows up at Adam Mockler: âGet your fucking hand out of my faceâ

Mockler: We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with letters Ira that we are currently failing that is going to put us trillions of dollars more in debt.

(8,873 posts)Comes with receipts. And is unintimidated by these veteran talking heads that are used to not getting any push back on their bullshit and bigotry.
You might even get a few pointers on countering the right wing firehouse of lies. Also on that panel was Kat Abughazaleh who is another young Democrat with fresh energy, perspective and tactics. They have both leveraged social media into a mainstream voice. The mainstream is trying to catch up and thwart them, but they're too good.

(12,568 posts)Liberals are suppose to accept the 'sit down and shut up' nods from MAGA hucksters, not fight or debate the insanity we're all witnessing. Mockler simply turned the table, took the aggressive stance and pushed against the war propaganda, a senseless, stupid war costing the country blood, treasure and credibility.
Republicans and their mouthpieces have continuously normalized abnormal behavior and the gross, unlawful overreach of Trump and his Administration.
Time to ditch the polite and pushback, hard. Particularly in the public arena If the accusation against Mockler is he was a dick in the exchange?
Well then, good on him!

(87 posts)I scratch my head as to why some people have an issue with him. He remained calm. Then got in the final shot.
This is the ONLY way to handle republicans.

(39,902 posts)Does his homework and thinks on his feet.
Jennings is one of those anti-Trump old time GOPers, who bent the knee to Trump.

Swede
(39,902 posts)Your concern is noted.

(47 posts)They're all grifters detached from the pulse of the American working class and the poor. They should do less talking and more listening but that would be detrimental to their grift. The majority of "social media influencers" and media everywhere don't have the slightest clue what the fuck they're talking about. Completely devoid of facts or foundation, they spew spoon-fed propaganda of every variety for hits and money. The "common rabble" that should be heard are never heard in any meaningful way and the ruling class loves it. People love to talk about "speaking truth to power and wealth." You will not get truth from those who benefit from the wealth and power they supposedly oppose.

(93,829 posts)that anyone can understand. He is also very young but has a good understanding of the issues and history.
I have watched some of his YouTube show and notice he also isn't really clickbaity like some of the other political shows.
So he is difficult to ridicule and paint as some political extremist.

(3,041 posts)Why is he on CNN? I thought he was a Fox Alleged "News" commentator.
Full disclosure: I didn't watch the video. I saw Geraldo and that's as far as I got.
Maybe I'll watch the video later.
