Let's Be Careful': Panelist Claps Back at Scott Jennings's Claim That Democrats Have Lunatics' Running For Office

"During a discussion on whether Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) should run for president in 2028, Jennings called AOC the energy of the Democratic party. That's where, on the left, what she does and what she says is silly and stupid as it may be, that's where all the energy on the left is right now, Jennings said. You look at the primaries that are going on at this moment. They got this [Graham] Platner character in Maine. They've got lunatics running in Michigan."

"You literally though, have people who are saying that they want the entire 14th Amendment overturned in your party, so let's be careful, Allison warned. That's an Alabama speaker of the House reference, said State of the Union Host Jake Tapper. The 14th Amendment, added after the Civil War, guarantees equal protection for all Americans under the law. Following the Alabama legislature's recent gerrymandering bill stripping a majority-Black congressional district, House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter said, we certainly hope that the Supreme Court will overturn Amendment 14, adding, All we need now is for the courts to overturn 14 and we can look at a new election."

A CNN panelist warned a conservative commentator to be careful when describing Democrats as radical lunatics, pointing to the hard-core segment of the Republican Party. In a debate about whether Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez should run for president in 2028, the commentator said her energy represents where Democratic energy is flowing, citing current primaries with extreme Republican candidates. The panelist responded that people in the Republican Party are calling for overturning the 14th Amendment. The amendment guarantees equal protection under the law. The warning referenced Alabama’s recent gerrymandering bill and a House speaker’s hope that courts overturn the amendment to enable a new election.
