Scott Jennings walked onto CNN’s NewsNight expecting a debate about the newly released Jeffrey Epstein documents and left the set having to defend his character after a predictable left-wing tantrum. What happened on the panel was not a serious policy fight but the same tired media playbook: when the facts don’t land, scream “racist” and try to shut the other side down.
Jennings made a straightforward point: after a decade in the public eye, if there were smoking-gun evidence tying President Trump to Epstein’s crimes, the American public would likely already know it. He bluntly called the question an “I.Q. test” and urged his fellow panelist not to “fail it,” a line that lit up the room and immediately became the story.
Rather than engage with the logic, one panelist—Joshua Doss—noted that Jennings’ remark sounded like a racial slight and suggested it was aimed at Franklin Leonard. Jennings rightly pushed back, insisting the charge was ridiculous and that Democrats and their media allies were quick to weaponize identity to avoid the facts. This exchange revealed more about the outlet than the argument.
All of this unfolded against the backdrop of Congress moving to release more of the Epstein files, a development that raised legitimate concerns about transparency and selective leaks. That context matters because it shows why the debate should be about evidence and accountability, not about scoring points with a manufactured outrage. The media’s fixation on performative indignation distracts from the real issue—what the documents actually show.
If you watched closely, you saw a pattern conservatives have warned about for years: when Democrats can’t defeat an argument, they declare the arguer illegitimate and try to silence him with identity politics. It’s a cheap, emotional trick meant to collapse debate into accusation, and it does a grave disservice to truth-seeking Americans who deserve facts, not theatrics.
Hardworking patriots should be furious about the way our media elites police conversation while pretending to champion fairness. Scott Jennings didn’t invent the controversy; he simply refused to bow to the mob’s attempt to swap evidence for emotion. This clip should be a wake-up call: demand answers, insist on documents, and never let the left’s outrage machine substitute for real scrutiny.
