Scott Jennings pulled no punches on national television when he called out Democrats for opposing President Trump at every turn, saying their performance left them looking lost and defeated during a recent joint address. Jennings noted the chaos on the House floor and the symbolic petty theatrics that followed, arguing that voters see opposition for opposition’s sake rather than principled policy disagreements. His blunt assessment landed like a wake-up call for conservatives tired of a permanent-resistance mindset in Washington.
Jennings highlighted specific moments — a congressman ejected for an outburst, the viral paddle stunts, and even Democrats refusing to stand for a rescued 95-year-old American — to make his point that the party seems more interested in spectacle than substance. Those moments weren’t just embarrassing; they underscored a broader strategy of reflexive obstruction that betrays ordinary Americans who want results, not righteous preening. Conservatives should be furious that political theater has replaced governing, while Democrats applaud their own tantrums as principled courage.
This pattern isn’t limited to one speech. Jennings has repeatedly defended President Trump against what he calls politicized attacks, dismissing recent selective document dumps and media-driven smears as calculated efforts by Democrats to damage the president rather than uncover criminality. That defense isn’t blind loyalty; it’s a call to demand fair play and to recognize when opposition is simply weaponized. The left’s willingness to use any mechanism to hobble a president they cannot beat at the ballot box reveals their contempt for democratic norms.
On multiple occasions Jennings has told viewers he expects, and wants, Republicans to unite behind concrete wins rather than get distracted by intra-party squabbles, urging a focus on policy victories that improve Americans’ lives. Democrats, by contrast, have perfected the art of saying no — a strategy that looks great on cable but does nothing to secure the border, lower energy costs, or rebuild manufacturing. If Republicans allow the Democratic resistance to set the agenda, conservative priorities will continue to be treated like bargaining chips in a perpetual culture war.
Patriots should take Jennings’ critique as a rallying cry: call out performative opposition, demand accountability, and support leaders who actually deliver results. The coming months are a choice between continued obstructionism that leaves Americans behind or a conservative governing agenda that puts the country first. It’s time for Republican voters and leaders to stop applauding resistance as virtue and start celebrating and defending real-world accomplishments.
