Republican Scott Jennings couldn’t stop laughing as CNN host Omar Jimenez dutifully morphed into Zohran Mamdani’s PR pointman on-air on Sunday night. Jimenez desperately tried to spin that Mamdani’s promise to tax whiter neighborhoods didn’t mean what it really meant. Oh, Omar!
Start here. (READ)
Holy crap — CNN host has @ScottJenningsKY laughing in disbelief as he gaslights that Mamdani doesn’t want to tax white people when Mamdani specifically said he wants to tax white people.
JENNINGS: He literally wrote it in a statement, Omar. He literally wrote it down!
JIMENEZ: No, I'm saying that he said that, but not on the basis of race specifically. I'm not saying he didn't say that. He did say that, but not on the basis of race.
JENNINGS (rolls eyes): Ok, I think you need to re-read it.
It’s even funnier watching it go down while Jennings laughs at the absurdity of it all. (WATCH)

He said it and wrote it down as his policy....but he didn't really mean it. - CNN

Gaslight level infinity

They should change this show's name to CNN Gaslight.
You know what extinguishes a gaslight? Receipts, and Jennings is bringing them.
Feel the need to show the receipts here pic.twitter.com/54cmM7Ki65

"Ok, sure he said it, wrote it down and doubled down but that’s not what he really meant.” WTH

This is one of many reasons people hate these media hacks. You don't understand what you heard so let us tell you what you should have heard.

They’re now directly parroting Mamdani’s spin
— Western Lensman (@WesternLensman) June 30, 2025
The ‘journalists’ at CNN are Democrats after all. They’re just doing what's expected of them, no matter how biased or silly it makes them look.
‘Don’t trust your lying eyes and ears.’ That’s what they’ve always done, and boy, does a poster bring the receipts! You’re going to die laughing at the end of this article!

He said he wants to tax White people. 🤦♀️
The Democrats are officially Through the Looking Glass.
"Tax whiter neighborhoods but not because they are whiter"

WHAT
I just don’t know where Scott gets the patience to show up and deal with this nonsense every day

Omar was the same reporter back in 2020…

No freaking way - Omar’s the ‘fiery, but mostly peaceful protests’ guy? Now it all makes sense! Too funny! Told ya.
