CNN pundit Scott Jennings provoked the ire of several “Squad” members when he referred to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) as a “public relations agent for Hamas” during a recent panel discussion. Jennings joined a conversation hosted by CNN’s Abby Phillip — and he responded to Omar’s promise to vote to re-elect President Joe Biden in 2024 despite any misgivings she might have about his administration’s continued support for Israel in the war against the terror group Hamas. WATCH: .@ScottJenningsKY absolutely shredded Ilhan Omar after her appearance on CNN 🔥🔥@AbbyDPhillip: “Scott‚ were you surprised to hear her say pretty clearly she would support President Biden in November? And some of her colleagues‚ I’m pretty sure‚ wouldn’t say that today.”… pic.twitter.com/UrKbBYR9Vu — Curtis Houck (@CurtisHouck) March 13‚ 2024 Phillip began by asking Scott whether he was surprised to hear Omar say she would vote for Biden‚ adding‚ “And some of her colleagues‚ I’m pretty sure‚ wouldn’t say that today.” “No‚ she’s a Democrat. They’re gonna vote for Biden. I’m not surprised about that‚” Jennings replied. “I am surprised that‚ in the year of our Lord‚ 2024‚ there is a public relations agent for Hamas sitting in the United States Congress.” Jennings went on to talk about the fact that Omar — and many others — had called for an immediate ceasefire but had made no mention that Hamas was still holding hostages who were taken from Israel during the October 7 terror attacks that left more than 1200 people dead. “The reason Israel is not at that meeting is because Hamas will not provide a list of the living hostages. I didn’t hear a word – a word of concern for the hostages. Ceasefires – she said – don’t happen magically‚” Jennings continued. “Well‚ you know there was a ceasefire in place on October the 6th. And who broke it on October the 7th? I cannot believe honestly what I heard out of that interview. What I want are for those hostages to come home. I want somebody – somebody out there to show just a little bit of remorse that Hamas broke the ceasefire‚ raped‚ and murdered horrifically women all kinds of people. That – that’s it. How about a little bit of concern for those folks? That’s what I’m looking for.” Members of the far-left “Squad” were quick to run defense for Omar‚ however‚ lashing out at Jennings and CNN for allowing his comments to go unchallenged.

Jenna Bush Hager said her father‚ former President George W. Bush‚ didn’t have a problem with the ribbing he got from shows like “Saturday Night Live” and‚ in fact‚ “loved it.” During Wednesday’s episode of “Today with Hoda and Jenna‚” Hager told her co-host‚ Hoda Kotb‚ that her love language is “gently roasting‚” something from which her father was not exempt. She reflected on laughing at the old SNL skits with her father and twin sister‚ Barbara. “I like to harass my dad‚” Hager said. “Like when he was the president‚ Barbara and I would show him … like the ‘Saturday Night Lives’ where they made fun of him and stuff. He loved it!” “Like when Will Ferrell [impersonated him]‚ but there were other comedians who also did things‚” she added. “Once‚ we were at the gym and there was a bumper sticker that said‚ ‘A Village in Texas Is Missing Its Idiot.'” “Barbara and I read it‚ took a minute and then we were like… We told our dad. He didn’t care‚” Hager continued. “He thought it was hilarious.” Jenna says when her father was president‚ she and her twin Barbara would show him clips of “Saturday Night Live” where they made fun of him — but he would laugh it off! pic.twitter.com/enSVvUnIJX — TODAY with Hoda &; Jenna (@HodaAndJenna) March 13‚ 2024 Her co-host Kotb said‚ “If you can’t laugh at yourself‚ then you feel like there’s some truth to it.” “But also‚ if you’re going to be the President of the United States‚ people are going to make fun of you‚” Jenna added. “And guess what — it ain’t just about you. That’s how it is‚ man. That’s how it is‚ that’s how it’s always been!” The “Today” show co-host has spoken about her relationship with her father in the past. She once discussed how he had encouraged her and then-fiance Henry Chase Hager to elope in 2008. “My dad wanted us to elope because it was a pain‚” Hager told Kotb. “He was like‚ ‘What are y’all doing? Y’all should just elope.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP In the end‚ Dad’s suggestion was a no-go‚ and Jenna and Henry got married in a private ceremony at the Bush family’s Prairie Chapel Ranch near Crawford‚ Texas. Hager made it clear it couldn’t have gone better. “The wedding was spectacular‚” President Bush said at the time. “It’s all we could have hoped for. It was just a special day and a wonderful day‚ and we’re mighty blessed.” Jenna and Henry share three children together.

The top Republican in the Senate delivered a sharp retort to Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on Thursday after the Democrat delivered a speech criticizing Israel amid its fight against Hamas following the group’s deadly terrorist attack in October. In delivering remarks on the Senate floor‚ Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) took particular issue with Schumer’s call for the U.S. ally to hold a new election while criticizing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership. Sen. McConnell: "It is grotesque and hypocritical for Americans who hyperventilate about foreign interference in our own democracy to call for the removal of a democratically elected leader of Israel. This is unprecedented. We should not treat fellow democracies this way at all." pic.twitter.com/K6xOd1a9Ey — CSPAN (@cspan) March 14‚ 2024 “The Jewish state of Israel deserves an ally that acts like one. The people of Israel‚ at home and in captivity‚ deserve America’s support. And Israel’s unity government and security cabinet deserve the deference befitting a sovereign‚ democratic country‚” McConnell said in remarks. Schumer included Netanyahu as one of the “obstacles to peace” during his speech earlier in the day. He also listed Hamas and the Palestinians who “support and tolerate their evil ways‚” “radical right-wing Israelis‚” and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. In his response‚ McConnell gave his own perspective on the “obstacles to peace” that have led to a perpetuation of violence in the Middle East. “The primary ‘obstacles to peace’ in Israel’s region are genocidal terrorists like Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad who slaughter innocent people and corrupt leaders of the Palestinian Authority who have repeatedly rejected peace deals from multiple Israeli governments‚” he said. “And foreign observers who cannot keep these clear distinctions straight ought to refrain from weighing in. It is grotesque and hypocritical for Americans who hyperventilate about foreign interference in our own democracy to call for the removal of the democratically elected leader of Israel‚” McConnell said. CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “This is unprecedented. We should not treat fellow democracies this way at all. Things that upset left-wing activists are not a prime minister’s policies – they are Israel’s policies‚” he added. “Make no mistake – the Democratic Party doesn’t have an anti-Bibi problem. It has an anti-Israel problem.” McConnell concluded‚ “Israel is not a colony of America whose leaders serve at the pleasure of the party in power in Washington. Only Israel’s citizens should have a say in who runs their government. This is the very definition of democracy and sovereignty. Either we respect their decisions‚ or we disrespect their democracy.”
