President Donald Trump‘s relationship with the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is back in the spotlight after the release of several emails sent to and from Epstein.
The pressure on the government to release the Epstein files was the topic of conversation on NCS’s The Source with host Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday (November 12), the place Collins requested conservative commentator Scott Jennings for his ideas on the matter.
When requested if extra Republicans would signal a discharge petition to pressure the Department of Justice to launch the information, Jennings mentioned it wouldn’t “shock” him to see extra Republicans again the petition. However, he questioned the chance that issues would go any additional.
“It’s still got to pass the Senate, unlikely. And then it would have to be signed by the President, highly unlikely. So this is kind of a futile exercise,” he mentioned.
Collins questioned why, if this was “so futile,” the White House was combating so exhausting in opposition to it. Jennings argued that Republicans are so in opposition to the Epstein information launch as a result of the President “firmly believes this is nothing but a distraction tactic ginned up by Democrats who didn’t care about this one bit until a couple of months ago.”
“They didn’t care about it when Joe Biden was the president. Now they care about it, to try to tie up this presidency. He’s lived through these things before, these kinds of wild goose chases,” Jennings added.
Collins fired again at Jennings, suggesting that it’s flawed to explain the scenario as a “wild goose chase” when it entails victims of sexual abuse.
Fellow NCS panelist Bakari Sellers was seen laughing on the break up display screen as Jennings tried to defend his level. Jennings argued that he meant “wild goose chase” in regard to individuals particularly going after Trump.
“The Democratic allegation is that Donald Trump did something untoward, unethical, or worse,” he defined. “There’s not a shred of evidence that Donald Trump has done anything wrong, but that’s what they want you to believe. And so if Republicans aid and abet the Democrats in this, you can see why Donald Trump would be mad about it.”
Sellers responded, “Everybody knows Donald Trump was friends with Jeffrey Epstein… and so, yes, you have to wear around your neck that you were friends with one of the most notorious pedophiles in the history of the country, and there is a trove of evidence that deals with his actions and inactions, and you said you were gonna release them!”
Following the phase, viewers took to social media, with many saying they’re uninterested in seeing Jennings on NCS.
“The moment I saw his face just now I switched my channel to CBC,” said one Reddit user.
“I pulled out my darts,” one other replied.
“He’s full of bull,” added one other.
Another wrote, “He has the most punchable face on television. I immediately change the channel when he’s on.”
“He seems to have run his course. There’s nothing new, interesting, nor truthful from him,” one viewer famous.
“After watching only NCS for news for decades, I quit them entirely just to avoid seeing/hearing him even momentarily,” one other added.
“Won’t watch it anymore because of him,” one other mentioned.
One person added, “NCS has discredited themselves as a legitimate news network.”
