Conservative commentator Scott Jennings was criticized by CNN panelists for seemingly downplaying the U.S. attacks on Iran while appearing on NewsNight With Abby Phillip. Jennings stated that polling indicates that MAGA supporters "trust" President Donald Trump on this issue. CNN's political analyst Josh Rogin countered that this is the most unpopular war in American history and predicted that the longer it goes on would make it worse. Co-panelist Bakari Sellers also criticized Jennings for not calling the situation a "situation," highlighting the ongoing conflict.
