MAGA commentator Scott Jennings scolded into silence on CNN

CNN commentators Scott Jennings and Kate Bedingfield clashed Friday during a live broadcast, stunning the controversial pundit into silence.

Bedingfield, former Biden White House communications director, and Jennings were part of a panel discussing the aggressive tactics employed by ICE agents in Minnesota when Jennings tried to defend the Trump administration's actions — saying people were not understanding President Donald Trump's messaging — when Bedingfield questioned his response. Both tried to comment on the scrutiny the administration has faced in a fiery back-and-forth.

"Can I, can I just say, trying to tell people that the images that they're seeing on camera is a wall of propaganda is not a winning strategy. People can see with their own eyes ICE," Bedingfield said.

That's when Jennings cut in.

"You're saying images are used for propaganda. ICE engages every day..." Jennings said.

Bedingfield responded again, emphasizing her point.

"We've all seen the footage of the ICE agent shooting the mother in the head two weeks ago. That is the backdrop behind which people are filtering in information," she said.

But Jennings tried to deny the video and images of ICE agent Jonathan Ross in the incident.

"We saw her hit him with the car as well. Actually," he said.

Bedingfield then pushed back on Jennings' claim.

"Actually, we did not," she responded.

"If you watched, if you watched the video," he said, trying to say that Bedingfield "can't even admit" that Ross was hit by Good with her car, which has been called into question.

"Scott Jennings, will you let me finish my sentence? I'll let you finish yours," Bedingfield fired back.

That's when the conversation went silent for a moment — and Bedingfield continued.

"You also had, after that event, you had the vice president of the United States go out and fully embrace the actions of the ICE agent," she said. "So I would argue if anybody is eroding the credibility of ICE, it's the Trump administration by throwing their arms around every single..."

Jennings again interjected and tried to argue that the people protesting should cooperate with law enforcement.

"Why won't they cooperate?" Jennings said.

And Bedingfield pushed back again.

"Every single errant and awful action that we're seeing from these people. So again, I think, you know, for Trump to say that his message is being lost when he and his administration are encouraging ICE to behave in a way that is clearly outside of the existing rules of engagement, is is absolutely ludicrous," Bedingfield said.

Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC

The post Franklin Templeton CEO Dismisses 50bps Rate Cut Ahead FOMC appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Franklin Templeton CEO Jenny Johnson has weighed in on whether the Federal Reserve should make a 25 basis points (bps) Fed rate cut or 50 bps cut. This comes ahead of the Fed decision today at today’s FOMC meeting, with the market pricing in a 25 bps cut. Bitcoin and the broader crypto market are currently trading flat ahead of the rate cut decision. Franklin Templeton CEO Weighs In On Potential FOMC Decision In a CNBC interview, Jenny Johnson said that she expects the Fed to make a 25 bps cut today instead of a 50 bps cut. She acknowledged the jobs data, which suggested that the labor market is weakening. However, she noted that this data is backward-looking, indicating that it doesn’t show the current state of the economy. She alluded to the wage growth, which she remarked is an indication of a robust labor market. She added that retail sales are up and that consumers are still spending, despite inflation being sticky at 3%, which makes a case for why the FOMC should opt against a 50-basis-point Fed rate cut. In line with this, the Franklin Templeton CEO said that she would go with a 25 bps rate cut if she were Jerome Powell. She remarked that the Fed still has the October and December FOMC meetings to make further cuts if the incoming data warrants it. Johnson also asserted that the data show a robust economy. However, she noted that there can’t be an argument for no Fed rate cut since Powell already signaled at Jackson Hole that they were likely to lower interest rates at this meeting due to concerns over a weakening labor market. Notably, her comment comes as experts argue for both sides on why the Fed should make a 25 bps cut or…
