The Left has always been good at hiding their skeletons in the closet. But sometimes they fall right out into the light.
Now leading Democrats are panicking after being exposed for this atrocious action.
Jennings Slams Democrats Over Hegseth Double Standard
CNN’s sharp-tongued Republican commentator Scott Jennings didn’t hold back on Sunday’s “State of the Union,” tearing into Democrats demanding Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s ouster over a minor Signal-chat mix-up.
The flub saw The Atlantic’s Editor-in-Chief Jeffrey Goldberg accidentally looped into a discussion about military strikes on Houthi terrorists—a slip-up that’s sparked outsized outrage from the left.
With President Donald Trump standing firm, assuring the public he’s not planning to axe anyone over the incident, Jennings seized the moment to spotlight what he sees as glaring hypocrisy.
He contrasted the current clamor for Hegseth’s head with the deafening silence from Democrats during far graver missteps under President Joe Biden’s watch—moments when military leadership faltered, costing American lives.
Hypocrisy Laid Bare: Past Failures Ignored
Jennings pulled no punches, recalling the Biden administration’s rocky record.
“If you’re trying to assess ‘what should we do about it,’ I hear Democrats arguing, ‘Well, we should fire Pete Hegseth,’ or, ‘We should fire the National Security Adviser,’” he said.
“The bar for firing people like this is really high from the last administration when after the Afghanistan withdrawal, which was a disaster, people died, no accountability was meted out. After the drone strike that vaporized those poor kids and that family, no accountability. After the secretary of defense went AWOL, no accountability.”
He drove the point home: while Biden’s team stumbled through the chaotic Afghanistan exit—where 13 U.S. service members perished—and then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin vanished from duty without even looping in the White House, Democrats barely blinked.
Yet now, they’re baying for blood over a messaging mishap that Hegseth managed amid a successful strike on Houthi rebels—a mission Biden’s crew never tackled.
“So if you’re arguing today that we should get rid of Pete Hegseth over a small mistake regarding communications — even while he was expertly executing this military operation against the Houthi rebels, which also the Biden administration didn’t take up, I just ‚ I don’t have a lot of time for that argument,” Jennings fired off, his frustration palpable.
A fellow panelist tried to counter, suggesting Austin showed “accountability” by fielding questions and ordering a review after his absence.
Jennings wasn’t buying it. “Did a single Democrat ask for his resignation?” he shot back, exposing the uneven standards with a question that hung in the air unanswered.
