Republican Scott Jennings Praises Progressive Firebrand Nina Turner for ‘Valuable’ Exchanges as CNN Segment Stays on the Rails

(via Mediaite)

A CNN Tonight panel ended on what host Laura Coates called a “kumbaya moment” as Republican strategist Scott Jennings hailed progressive Nina Turner for their “extremely valuable” talks.

The segment, which also featured John Avlon, consumed the first 27 minutes of the show and spanned multiple commercial breaks. Most of the discussions centered on race-related issues such as Florida banning an Advanced Placement course on African American Studies, a Missouri bill that would ban the teaching of critical race theory in through 12th grade (despite the fact it’s only typically taught in certain graduate courses), and Arkansas banning the term “Latinx” from government documents.
