Asked about Donald Trump's attack on former South Carolina Nikki Haley's husband during a campaign rally on Saturday, Republican Party campaign strategist Scott Jennings spewed a string of obscenities on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning.
On Saturday Trump spoke of Major Mark Haley, stating: "Then she comes over to see me at Mar-a-Lago. ‘Sir, I will never run against you.’ She brought her husband. Where’s your husband? Oh, he’s away. He’s away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone! He knew. He knew."
With host Tapper noting that Haley's husband is serving a one-year tour of duty in Africa with the South Carolina National Guard, Jennings jumped right into the fray.
"Haley is not with his wife because he is serving his country in Africa, where they are fighting terrorism," Tapper prompted his guest.
"He's an a**hole," Jennings shot back.
"You're talking about Trump, to be clear?" the CNN host interjected.
"It will not be the first time he's been an a**hole or the last time he'll be an a**hole, that's what it is," Jennings exclaimed.
"And some people like it people will slough it off. This is a tough political campaign. The man is serving the United States in uniform overseas and it's a below-the-belt shot, against someone who is not going to beat him for the nomination."

"Joe Biden is doing everything he can to hand this election to Donald Trump and his response is to go after a guy that is serving America, and saying, I would encourage Russia to invade our allies. The political ineptitude is alone enough to be upset about."
