CNN is currently facing backlash from progressives after conservative political analyst Scott Jennings referred to Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) as a “public relations agent for Hamas,” prompting members of “The Squad” to demand the network drop Jennings and apologize for his remarks.
“Scott Jennings’ comments are disgustingly racist and Islamophobic. Comments like this, especially on national news, are extremely dangerous and fuel anti-muslim hate crimes,” Rep. Jamaal Bowman (D-NY) tweeted on Wednesday. “CNN should never have him on again! This hatred is unacceptable and cannot be normalized.”
CNN and Jennings did not respond to requests for comment.
