Overview
- Chris Cuomo, on Tuesday’s NewsNation show, called Scott Jennings “what a punk” and replayed a 2024 NewsNight clip to argue Jennings has a pattern of in-your-face behavior.
- Adam Mockler challenged Geraldo Rivera on Piers Morgan Uncensored after Rivera labeled him a “d*ck,” and Rivera told the 23-year-old to “stick to the substance” and “don’t be a wise ass.”
- The flare-up started during a CNN NewsNight panel last week when Jennings shouted “Get your f*cking hand out of my face” as Mockler pressed him to name any political concessions from Iran, prompting host Abby Phillip to step in.
- Mockler, appearing Tuesday on Cuomo, called Jennings “a big a**hole” and accused him of misstating the Iran war timeline and ignoring basic on-air decorum.
- The clip has ricocheted across outlets and social media, with Piers Morgan saying Jennings is outnumbered on NewsNight and Mediaite countering that the show often features two pro-Trump voices.
