CNN’s Scott Jennings had another banner moment last night, once again proving he is the only reason to ever watch the liberal network.

One of the liberal contributors made an ignorant comment about Republicans and black candidates in Virginia. Jennings quickly reminded him that the GOP just ran a black candidate for governor in Virginia but she lost to the white, Democrat, Karen candidate.

It’s amazing that the liberal contributor walked right into that one.

Transcript via Overton News:

Scott Jennings leaves former Daily Beast editor-in-chief speechless in an embarrassing live moment on CNN.

John Avlon attempted to make the case that Republicans were so racist they haven’t elected a black Republican governor since the reconstruction era.

That’s when Jennings fired back with a SAVAGE reminder.

AVLON: “We’ve obviously got some serious steps. We haven’t had an African American Republican governor since reconstruction. Um, I mean, you know, there’s unfortunately an imbalance in the two parties—”

JENNINGS: “The Republicans tried to elect one in Virginia.”

[Avlon looked stunned]

AVLON: “Okay…”

[Jennings laughs]

JENNINGS: “Then you got a white Democrat who gerrymandered the state!”

“It’s all crumbling John!”

CNN quickly ended the segment and cut to commercial.
