‘They Won’t Do It Again!’ CNN’s Scott Jennings Calls SignalGate a ‘Small Mistake’ and Utterly Dismisses Idea Hegseth Should Be Fired for It
EXCERPT:
JENNINGS: "I think it's possible for two things to be true. One, it's possible to say this was a mistake, and it's a teachable moment, and I have no doubt they won't do it again. And it's also possible to look at, if you're trying to assess what should we do about it, I hear Democrats arguing, 'Well, should we fire Pete Hegseth, we should fire the national security adviser,' the bar for firing people like this is really high from the last administration, when, after the Afghanistan withdrawal, which was a disaster, people died, no accountability was meted out. After the drone strike that vaporized those poor kids and that family, no accountability. After the secretary of defense went AWOL, no accountability. So if you're arguing today that we should get rid of Pete Hegseth over a small mistake regarding communications, even while he was expertly executing this military operation against the Houthi rebels, which also the Biden administration didn't take up, I just — I don't have — I don't have a lot of time for that argument today. And neither does most Republicans."
