Scott Jennings Illuminates His Colleagues: Trump IS Biden’s Legacy
In the waning hours of President Joe Biden’s presidency, CNN’s lone conservative voice, Scott Jennings, joined his colleagues in a spirited debate over Biden’s legacy. Jennings argued that much of Biden’s legacy “is going to be bookended by the fact that he and [former President Barack] Obama gave us [President-elect] Trump the first time and that he gave us Trump 2.0, stronger than ever.”
In short, Trump IS Biden’s legacy.
Elaborating on this point, Jennings said, “Donald Trump right now is at the apex of his power. He’s more popular than ever. His ideology is more popular than ever. And I think it’s in large part because people were comparing the results of Biden and Trump won.”
“Joe Biden made some promises that he was going to be an honest president,” he noted. “He wasn’t. That he was going to be a moderate president. He wasn’t… And on his way out the door … he’s pardoning his son retroactively for anything and everything going back a number of years. That did not sit well with the American people. When you consider inflation, Afghanistan, the border, the pardons, and really Joe Biden not living up to what he said he was going to be.”
Paul Begala, a former advisor to former President Bill Clinton and a CNN contributor, chimed in, “I’m really proud, actually, of the work Joe Biden did for our country.” He did not elaborate. How could he?
Jennings continued, “If everything you said was true, he should have had no trouble getting reelected and he should not have a 34% approval rating. But the truth is, on so many issues, he failed. And not only did he fail, but he and his people were dishonest with the American people about it. Telling us the border was secure when it’s not, telling us that the Afghanistan pullout was a wonderful accomplishment. And most damagingly, last year, telling us he was fit for office when clearly he was not, and the biggest coverup in modern political history took place on his watch… That is going to live with him for a very long time. Even Democrats now admit that Joe Biden was not with it and they all went along with it too.”
“He should never have run for reelection, but the fact that he’s now saying he could have won is delusional. And the fact that he’s saying Kamala Harris could have won is basically saying she won a crap campaign, so he’s left his own party in somewhat political chaos.”
The other panelists, momentarily stunned by Jennings’s remarks, turned their attention to his “sharp” attire. Clad in a tuxedo, Jennings had plans to attend an inaugural ball after the show.
With his characteristic charm, he quipped, “If this punditry doesn’t work out, I’ll be able to show you two to your table!”
As always, Jennings nailed it. Beyond the often-cited blunders of Biden’s failed administration, his obvious senility, and the efforts to hide it, Biden will be remembered as a liar. From the moment he launched his campaign to the sad final hours of his presidency, Biden has been deceiving the American people. Lies slip from his lips as effortlessly as water off a duck’s back.
Yes, I understand that all politicians lie from time to time—or at least exaggerate—but Biden has elevated lying to an art form.
During his April 2019 campaign launch, Biden told supporters he felt compelled to run after hearing Trump describe Neo-Nazis and white supremacists as “very fine people” following the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. While Trump’s remarks were taken wildly out of context—and even debunked by left-leaning fact-checkers—Biden continues to repeat this narrative to this day.
Six months later, he told another pivotal lie. Three weeks before the 2020 election, The New York Post published a bombshell story about communications found on Hunter Biden’s abandoned laptop, which strongly suggested that Joe Biden knew of—and even potential involvement in—Hunter’s overseas influence-peddling operations. In response, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who was then a senior Biden campaign official, orchestrated a letter signed by 51 former high-ranking intelligence officials. The letter disingenuously claimed the story bore all the hallmarks of a Russian disinformation campaign.
This letter played a crucial role in Biden’s victory. Only days after its release, then-candidate Joe Biden used it to shut down Donald Trump when the topic of the family’s alleged overseas dealings came up during a critical debate.
Now, as Biden laments his failed presidency, he is once again resorting to lies about the threat posed by the power wielded by a small group of Big Tech oligarchs. He remained silent about their influence when they suppressed the laptop story leading up to the 2020 election. But now, with these figures flocking to Mar-a-Lago to gain favor with Trump, he has grown bitter and resentful.
Books will inevitably be written about the mountain of lies he and his allies told the American people, all amplified by a legacy media that abandoned any semblance of journalism the moment Trump entered the political arena in 2015.
Some of us are old enough to remember the classic Looney Tunes characters of Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner. In every episode, Wile E. Coyote has a new idea for how he will finally catch the Roadrunner, but the bird is simply too fast, and the Coyote never succeeds. Most of the time, the plan backfires and leaves the Coyote wounded and angry, but that doesn’t stop him from trying again. Wile E. Coyote has a lot in common with today’s Democratic Party.
Will the Democrats ever succeed in bringing Trump down? Or will they end up dumbfounded, resembling Wile E. Coyote as he once again slams into a wall, his flattened body sticking there for a moment, before sliding to the ground?
