Scott Jennings told 'that's your opinion' –– then nailed with fact check on CNN
CNN conservative Scott Jennings saw his defense of Donald Trump's continuing Iran attack claims of "total obliteration" dismantled piece by piece by "Table for Five" host Abby Phillip on Saturday morning.
After complaining about leaks that suggest the mission was far from the success the Trump administration is insisting upon, Jennings offered that the reports were designed to make Trump look bad.
"I mean, that's your opinion," host Phillip countered. "I think that's fine. But the reality is, when Trump says the Iran nuclear program has been eliminated, he basically said, 'It's done, it's it's ended.' There's a real legitimate question about whether that's a factual statement."
"Just this week, he was asked, 'What are you going to do if Iran is able to enrich uranium again?' and he said, 'Well, we'll bomb them again.' Does that sound like a nuclear program that he thinks is completely gone? " she asked.
"So, I mean, clearly there is a factual question here about whether or not the threat has been eliminated," she added before pointing out, "Even Republican senators like Lindsey Graham have acknowledged and others the threat has not been eliminated and that is something that American people need to know and understand."
