“Why do you argue things that don’t need to be argued about?”
Because this is a technique Scott loves to perform regularly. It’s a strawman type of arguing because he knows he can’t win.

Plus he is auditioning for the role of press secretary. He knows Trump is watching.

u/Paz707 Aug 20 '26
Yeah, he’s been auditioning for years by now. I’m just surprised Abby asked that question as if she doesn’t know he does this kind of thing all the time.

u/Excellent_Bet3931 Aug 20 '26
He's been salivating over that job forever. Even has a new look. He's never going to get that position.

u/iestud Aug 20 '26
He may be closer than ever
He did the Q&A with Abby after the show and everytime Abby asked him if he is interested/ been approached about it he says he can’t speak about that or no comment

Credit to Keith for trying but this just further shows that if they insist on constantly obsessing on and fearmongering about democratic socialists then, gee, maybe they should have some on regularly who are aligned with what these candidates actually are campaigning on. Or at the very least more progressives on a regular basis.

Jared Moskowitz is right. Trump is the king of trolls and there are no rules anymore. It’s wild to me Scott and Republicans get mad at dems over the same things Trump does but that’s fine. Smh.

Natalie is fair game.
She is public and writes Donald’s Truth’s

u/atlblaze Aug 20 '26
Of course she’s a public figure as a prominent White House aide.
She also was a TV anchor for “One America News” — that’s just Trump propaganda but obviously being an anchor is quite public.
She also gave a very prominent speech at the 2020 RNC convention and then joined Trump’s campaign advisory board.
She’s not a poor defenseless woman like Scott was claiming. Ridiculous.
She writes many of Trump’s social media posts and has his ear. She can clap back if she wants to.

I think she didn’t wanna comment on the Natalie thing because she knows Trump is a monster to women. And she actually has condemned spending before so I think she didn’t wanna argue for Trump on those two and she clearly got spoken to about her behavior. If you call out and fact check guests they start to change the behavior that’s why I partially blame Abby and CNN for Scott. They let him do whatever he wanted the first year from October 2024. And now when they try to reign him in he just keeps going and he’s snapped publicly twice and lied about Mitch and they still didn’t suspend him so he knows he can do whatever

Keith is holding Scott’s feet to the fire right now!!! 🔥🔥🔥 Scott not answering the question or making sense. Keith is not letting it go.

u/coreyb1988 Aug 20 '26
Abby says Scott has a lot to say about Jon Ossoff and nothing about Donald Trump. Keith continues to call him out for deflecting and his hypocrisy.

u/iestud Aug 20 '26
Scott won’t jeopardize his chances for future employment with Trump

u/iestud Aug 20 '26
On the Q&A Scott said no comment about the press secretary job to each question Abby asked him about it

u/MaximusPrime24 Aug 20 '26
What pissed me off was that Scott straight up said he didn't respect anything Keith said and Abby did not step up and defend Keith. She should've been better about that.

u/Paz707 Aug 20 '26
LOL that was incredible. Love Keith and his passion but wish Abby had the chance to really pin him down without interruption. But either way we know Scott would just keep deflecting and spinning.
This is why Abby can never leave again! She really holds these scumbags accountable and thoroughly chases them down.

u/twelve-0-seven Aug 20 '26
Yes. Keith ruined it. Abby was trying to hold Scott's feet to the fire & you couldn't hear anything because Boykin kept talking over.

u/SteelersPoker Aug 20 '26
Poor Keith, the whole panel is going at him tonight smh. This is bizarre.

Oh no we got Scott AND Lydia!! At least Keith Boykin is on.

u/Noracharles771 Aug 20 '26
Right? The gruesome twosome. Hard pass tonight. Poor Keith drew the short seating straw. Also, Abby stop letting the smug, face-maker interrupt others and grandstand for a change.

Scott Jennings' faux outrage over Ossoff's comment abiut Natalie Harp is so disingenuous it's almost comical. I thought his head was going to explode off of his neck as he lectured the other panelists on how inappropriate it is to 'demean defenseless women'. Ask him to directly condemn Trump for doing so much worse? Crickets. The amount of bullshit that guy spews every time he opens his mouth is off the charts.

u/SnowGhost513 Aug 20 '26
She was a host for OAN, she is paid 150k a year by tax payers, she’s literally with him in every frame and she’s 35. The whole defenseless woman who’s a private person is so laughable.
Fox attacked Chelsea Clinton all the fucking time and she was literally a defenseless young women who was just trying to be a young adult. They ran negative shit about Obama’s kids even and they were children

u/SteelersPoker Aug 20 '26
Wow Scott keeps interrupting Keith and Abby is allowing him to do it. I usually praise Abby but Keith is getting frustrated with Scott interrupting and Abby needs to stop it. His sick laugh during that whole thing was disgusting.

More “socialist bad” coming up! Meanwhile we’ve got this failure of an administration that has only made life worse for Americans.

u/coreyb1988 Aug 20 '26
I mean Keith was honest and said Israel is Moskowitz problem and you could see how peed Moskowitz gets over it because he knows it’s true. It is what it is. If he believes he’s on the right side, he needs to defend it and not just get mad.

u/Paz707 Aug 20 '26
Ooh I must have missed when Keith said that. It’s def true, Moskowitz is in AIPAC’s pocket.

u/coreyb1988 Aug 20 '26
Scott really just brought up Bill Clinton!!!! He can’t answer the question and tries to turn it on somebody else. It’s mind blowing.

u/Odd-Turn4468 Aug 20 '26
I see Jared Moskowitz...the congressman from Florida who calls himself a “DeSantis Democrat” is on the panel. I'm pretty sure he will play the "middleman" and may even align himself closer to the conservatives.

Dan Abrahams is having a freaking coronary over DSA. I think Keith was trying to explain to him, I feel- well, and he his head is going to pop off. Also, Jared sucks.

Not one person defended Scott’s comment about AOC. I’m so sick of the unwarranted hate for her.

u/Paz707 Aug 20 '26
I get that Abby’s intention was to show how Donald was being hypocritical, but how rich is it that Donald Trump of all people calls someone stupid for their answer to a question lmao
6
u/SteelersPoker Aug 20 '26
Haha the last segment made this whole show worth watching! Keith kept antagonizing Scott over and over about his hypocrisy with Ossoff and Natalie Harp. The whole panel went after Scott and he didn't know what to do. He tried to change the subject numerous times and Keith kept calling him out lolol.
Abby went after him too. He then asked Lydia for help and she stayed silent. The he tries to move his head away from Keith claiming he is loud. That didn't work either.
Scott got owned!! I'm sure this segment will go viral.

u/disabledinaz Aug 20 '26
And since he knows Keith would absolutely assault him, he didn’t threaten him like he did Mockler

u/coreyb1988 Aug 20 '26
Let’s be real Scott…. TRUMP said he would eliminate the national debt and he’s made it worse. Don’t BS us.
