Last night, I sat next to a man who desperately wanted attention. How did he try to get that attention? By claiming the reason for the wildfires in LA is that California firefighters aren’t white enough.

People are being way-way-way-way-way-way-way-way-way-way, too polite to Republicans. They are all evil incarnate and need to be called out to their disgusting faces as the utter trash they are.
I'm so grateful for you. Every clip i see of you in Congress, you are reading some idiot the riot act for their stupid behavior and comments. We need you and other fresh, young people to stand up to what's been normalized for too long. Mahalo! 🤙
😆🤣😂🗽🇺🇸 Are you serious?
I think those Republicans are on medications.🤣😂 Their responses are out of this world! Maybe that's their way of not answering questions, just say dum stuff. Trump have done it so many times! They know it throw the world and Dems off! We be like"👀" Whatha" 😂🤣❤️😂🇺🇸🗽🤣😂❤️🤣
Thank you for not posting his name.
This guy should be fired for those comments, but CNN, which is now Fox Lite, will never do that.
Please limit your appearances on CNN in the future, they do not deserve your input until they can be a trusted source again.
That man is the reason I don't watch CNN anymore. How stupid is he to make such a ridiculous argument with three extremely intelligent black women at the table? Well done, Congresswoman. As always, you are an inspiration.
WTH has happened to S Jennings? Someone has him under their thumb. $$$ Have enjoyed him in the past, gave good commentary but he is obnoxious now. Almost ferocious.
Or male enough. It is difficult to make the department PERIOD, and they absolutely used to cater to mostly white men. Speaking as the child of a FF who tried to make the department herself. Diversity makes us ALL better.
CNN should be ashamed of itself for paying for this maga shill to be on their programs. If people don’t understand that diversity is for the most part welcome in California they should just STFU. We aren’t like them and w never will be - and this is a good thing
@rep.jasmine.bsky.com You always do a great job arguing against MAGA’s complaints about DEI. I would love for you to sometimes include that the extremely low quality of white male candidates put forward by Trump perhaps shows why they feel so threatened! 😉
Years back I would want him to explain how being White is scientifically more likely to prevent/stop fires , but these disgusting racists just cannot be reasoned with nor convinced.
This is dangerous to say that natural disasters are caused by black people. One, its untrue, and there are many places that have no black people but have problems. Two, it increases non-black hostility to black people. This is something that will seep into our daily lives.
We sold out the country for a dozen of eggs and now we’re on to DEI because prices will not come down. Jennings is a supporter of white patriarchy. Pay him no mind
Trying to make a scandal out of "DEI leadership" while demonstrating why this country needs to stop gifting mediocre white men like himself platforms and chairs.
Hopefully everyone who goes on with him will not only confront him, but shame CNN for paying him for this bullshit and paying to hold up and support his racism. Well done Congresswoman.
I only saw this while at the gym as I don’t watch CNN. It was so obvious that turd is on there because CNN wants him to incite these reactions. The split screen never leaves his face. Don’t watch. I don’t know how Abby can stand it.
These are the same “men” who take money from Big Oil. We are in a CLIMATE EMERGENCY because of corporations like Exxon lying to us and paying off politicians to do NOTHING and marketers spreading their propaganda. As has been said before, these disasters need to be named after these climate deniers.
CNN should get rid of Scott Jennings. A respectable cable news network had no need to give a voice to idiocy. For people interested in the scripted absurdities pushed by MAGA, there is Trash Social, or Trash X, and many other places where the agitprop plays non-stop.
My plea for attention: this country would be so much better off if there were less mediocre white men in power who whine about nonsense every 5 f**king minutes 😒
Why is it always fragile white men who bring these issues up. Tell me how a white republican man would have handled the situation differently. Give me facts. Until then, STFU!
I love you, but quick question. Why are you agreeing to appear on a corporate media channel that's partly responsible for the mess we are in? It's so completely unproductive. Tell us more about this secret DNC vote.
My goodness. CNN found another annoying white guy? Another GOP apologist? Look, the GOP has done nothing but make the country and the world a worse place than it could be since Nixon '68. Why defend them?
This is a dude who is paid to have a viewpoint from this side of the political spectrum, and so he is faithfully spouting exactly what that cohort believes
I don’t tolerate MAGA bullshit anymore. If he said that while sitting next to me I would have punched him in the face him in the face. I admire your restraint
Fascists like him deserve to be mocked and ridiculed, we need to take a page from Tim Walz's book considering how much that rattled them back during the summer. They make unserious arguments that do not warrant serious responses.
How you are able to sit there and calmly respond with indisputable facts and not haul off and slap the ever loving shit out of that smug asshole is nothing short of amazing. I couldn't do it.
Love it. Per "Caste" by Wilkinson, when the NAZIs wanted to LEGALLY kill minorities & Jews, they instituted Jim Crow laws. Yes, they learned legal oppression & murder from the US South!
NAZIs=White Supremacists=US South Jim Crow!
The seeds of Hitler's genocide germinated in the USA.
Someday the smirker Scott Jennings will be let go from Faux News light, cnn, to serve his remaining time in spinning old time off tune favorites on Napoleon’s island where Putin has a reserved spot as well as other smirkers like Dt, Steven Miller, confederate flag wavers as usual.
He should have been jammed about all of the CANADIAN and MEXICAN firefighters who have come and are pitching in, too! What a total JACKASS...along with all of the rest of the MAGA MORONS.
I don’t know why CNN gives Scott any airtime. I know they want balance but he never says anything meaningful - choosing to lie and deflect all the time and without pushback.
They should replace him with an intelligent republican (not an oxymoron!). One who explains the perspective.
You simply will not get thru to the ultra-orthodox MAGAs; that said, it is important to say this on TV and at every chance I'm case you get through to a MAGA on the fence.
Used to be a CNN addict but cut way back as they started featuring Jennings more and more. And haven’t watched at all since election but when I see clips here, I’m glad I stopped.
Yeah. I happen to like some of the CNN people but the leadership has guided them into this disgusting swamp. I just hope Jasmine got paid to swim in that cesspool
I agree! She's incredible, I saw two interviews with her and new instantly I was behind anything she was. And with that I'm going to jump off here and go hit that "follow" button..... 😊❄️👣🫂
I stopped watching CNN because of Jennings. He’s racist garbage in a suit who loves to clutch his pearls when he gets smacked down. No idea why they keep him on.
Well there's a surprise. Guy who claims every problem in the country is because of DEI, blaming these same people who are willing to die to help others.....
I love you Jasmine but I could only last 2 mins 20 seconds of this clip. As a Brit I do not know who that patronising smug man is but I do know he is raising my blood pressure. Kudos to you ladies for even sharing oxygen with him.
I'm sure you did well against him, but I can't bear watching this ugly garbage person. It'd just make me wish he'd drop dead; I have no more patience for toxic people.
CNN has gone a long way downhill; from Christiane Amanpour (trustworthy, empathy), now scraping the very bottom of the shit barrel.
My husband works for a helicopter firefighting team. People don't do firefighting because it's a great job. They are hot, really hot, sleeping on the ground, not bathing for days. Most he works with are Native Americans and Latinos and he admires every single one of them.
Thank you for fighting the fight against these evil humans. Good luck to you over the next few years. I fear things are only going to get worse for America. I appreciate you!
Capable white guys who can do the job aren't being turned down, the fire dept here got $50m more for personnel after negotiations, and everyone is doing the best they can in the face of overwhelming odds.
-dude is just mad he can't sit in front of his trailer sipping Coors Light all day not getting an education, and then go straight to the front of the line for civil service jobs just like his dad and his granddad did because actually most women and PoC are better educated and more qualified than him
These are the same people who can’t comprehend that hurricane force winds + dry air = out of control fires. So, really he was just trying to distract from his own lack of intelligence.
As a white man, I cringe at the sight of these idiots posing as icons of white maleness. Thankfully I get DEI and am grateful that there are people like you to advocate for it so brilliantly.
Wow what a consequential conversation. I'm so glad that people like Stacy and Jasmine are at the table. I admired the way they charismatically articulating some strong counterpoints to a lot of the crazy proposed policy and dampening the gaslighting one DEI.
👏👏👏
You have been an amazing representative for the people of your district and all Americans.
Thank you for standing up to the blatant racism being broadcast on mainstream media.
You have my respect and support always.
So why didn't the most educated people on the planet figure out a plan to make sure the fires didn't happen. Sounds like the leaders their failed miserably. People have been talking about these fires for decades... AND DID NOT PREPARE. Or it wouldn't have happened. The white man at the top failed

MAGA projection at its finest.
Don't ever stop speaking the truth.
You handled him with class and intelligence, as always!

Pretty sure he won't be going near 🔥🚒 anytime soon 😅😆😂
Thank you for always trying to provide clarity and honesty. Even if these deplorable, hateful, cult followers refuse to listen.
not a man’s skin color or being a “man’s size”
And she’s right, if black women were able to endure American slavery, then they can certainly press a button to drop some water from a helicopter

Thank you for your strength & for your voice.
Colorado, Minnesota, and Virginia are all beautiful places to live.

Jennings is part of why we aren't watching CNN.
@cnn.com is dead.
That guy illustrates how misinformation and bigotry go hand in hand.
I wish BlueSky had an edit option.
That’s what Fox News said… 🙄
