Scott Jennings, a GOP strategist and frequent CNN panelist, has transitioned from being a critic of former President Donald Trump to one of his most vocal defenders. This shift has drawn sharp criticism from former CNN reporter Jim Acosta, who labeled Jennings an 'opportunistic sellout' during an interview with Zeteo. Acosta pointed out that Jennings' behavior on the network has often crossed the line, citing a recent incident where Jennings aggressively confronted another guest, saying, 'get your f------ hand out of my face.' Acosta emphasized that such outbursts are inappropriate for a television news environment, stating that Jennings has violated a standard of decorum that should be maintained.
