'We’ll take care of you, Scott': CNN hammered after conservative joins Trump on stage

President Donald Trump added to the chaos of his fiery Michigan rally on Tuesday by unexpectedly calling up CNN conservative Scott Jennings – and the internet immediately took notice.

“He defends me really well, but he can’t go too far because if he goes too far, he’ll get fired,” Trump told a crowd of supporters. “I watched him for years – I don’t know him – but he likes Trump,” he added.

As Jennings made his way to the rally stage, Trump jabbed the cable news network where the longtime political insider is a regular defender of the president’s MAGA agenda.

“Oh, CNN, this is the end of Scott – oh, who cares, we’ll take care of you Scott.”

The moment drew cheers from rallygoers, but online, critics wasted no time piling on Jennings – and CNN.

“Station has become a joke. Scott Jennings is a joke,” attorney Mike McGorry told his X followers.

“Trump invites Scott Jennings on stage. Congrats, CNN!” independent journalist Aaron Rupar wrote in a Bluesky post.

“David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Brothers Discovery, is the clown who hired Jennings,” Greg Gardner, a retired journalist, reminded his followers on Bluesky.

Political strategist April Glick Pulito wrote in her own Bluesky post: “Jfc Scott Jennings just has always been mask off but this is new.”

“Cable news keeps pretending people like Jennings are neutral while they’re literally on stage at political rallies,” Austin musician Nikos Unity wrote on X.

“Beaming Scott Jennings [is] live from that Trump speech like he’s an actual journalist reporting on it is very much out of order,” Aneesa McMillan, communications director for the anti-gun organization GIFFORDS, concluded on Bluesky.

Jennings himself took to social media after his on-stage cameo to tell his followers about his brief remarks: "I got caught up in the moment."
