A guest on CNN recently sounded off on a CNN panel, arguing with his fellow commentators over the results of the 2024 presidential election that President-elect Donald Trump won by a landslide. Guest Pete Dominick claimed that Republican pundit Scott Jennings and writer Coleman Hughes resided “on the tippy top of bullsh*t mountain.”
During the segment, Jennings recounted the challenging moments for the Biden-Harris administration, stating, “If you look at the arc of the Biden presidency, he was in really good shape until August of 2021. When Afghanistan happened, he went under 40 — [Harris] went under 40 — and they really lived there until the end of the presidency,” Jennings explained. “Why?” Dominick stammered, repeating himself, “Why?”
Unfazed by Dominick’s interruption, Jennings continued, “Because he ran and told us that the adults were back in charge, and that was the opposite..” Dominick interjected again, “Yeah, they were. Because Donald Trump is a child.” Once again ignoring Dominick, Jennings continued, “And you know what…and you know what else?”
He stated, “The fact that they wouldn’t give these 13 service members’ families the time of day,” referencing the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal in 2021. “Bulls***, dude!” Dominick shouted, before citing unproven accusations about Trump. “I’m sorry, but Donald Trump hates veterans. He called them ‘suckers’ and ‘losers.’ He did! He absolutely… despite…he has his whole life. He has his entire life.”
“I know you’re super emotional, I just…” Jennings said. “Of course I am,” Dominick shouted. “I’m terrified!” Jennings responded, “I’m telling you the political reality is that when they made that decision…” Dominick interrupted again, “It doesn’t matter, when you don’t admit that Donald Trump hates veterans. You don’t, you don’t admit it.”
“You’re still campaigning. It’s over, brother,” Jennings told Dominick. Becoming increasingly angry, Dominick said, “It’s not over, it will never be over! It’ll never be over! You wish.” Jennings tried to say, “The political reality is, when they made that decision, and everyone realized, oh my gosh, these aren’t the competent adults that we were promised.”
Maintaining his composure in the tense back-and-forth with Dominick, Jennings said, “When you pile on top of it the decisions that made inflation worse, it was a compounding interest of political crap over time that they could never get out of, and that’s how she lost the race.”

Fellow commentator Colemnan Hughes then weighed in on the discussion. “We thought the adults were back in the room, that’s why people voted for Biden,” Hughes said. “A return to normalcy, a return to competence. He’s a lifelong public servant, we thought, we’re gonna get normal, we’re gonna get competent.”
“We did! We did!” Dominick maintained. “Afghanistan doesn’t signal that,” Hughes replied. After Dominick blamed Afghanistan on Republican policies, he said, “You guys live on the tippy-top of bulls*** mountain.” Jennings then asserted, “I mean, I can read a chart and I can read a poll. I guess you can’t. But the reality is that when he made that decision…” “Ugh, your petty insults are so weak, dude,” Dominick said as Jennings chuckled. “If you hear yourself talking … you can laugh all you want, but like, I can’t read a chart? It’s so uninteresting.”
