CNN’s Scott Jennings Gets Rounded On by Ana Navarro & Abby Phillip

On Wednesday's edition of CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip challenged conservative analyst Scott Jennings after he denied that President Donald Trump threatened genocide against 90 million Iranians.
David Hogg referenced Trump's threat to destroy the "whole civilization" of Iran if a deadline passed, characterizing the message as a threat of "a genocide of 90 million people."
During the heated exchange, panelists noted Trump's message stated "an entire civilization may die tonight," questioning the rationality of such rhetoric on Easter Sunday.
Jennings insisted that while Pope Leo XIV "has a right to respond to whatever he wants," the United States is waging war against adversaries hostile for nearly 50 years.
The conversation exposed deep disagreements regarding Trump's foreign policy rhetoric and the limits of executive communication in international conflicts affecting diplomatic alliances.
