A CNN commentator ripped into his colleague and claimed he was attempting to compare parents concerned about their child's education with White nationalists.
CNN commentator Scott Jennings criticized journalist Ron Brownstein for saying parents protesting curricula were on a ‘continuum’ with White nationalists.parents concerned about curriculaAccording to a new CNN poll, 61% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents say the country’s diversity enriches American culture, while 38% consider increased diversity a"threat."
Speaking to the poll,"CNN Newsroom" host Brianna Keilar asked CNN Senior Political Commentator Scott Jennings whether these numbers would continue to"shoehorn" Republicans into playing"footsie" with White nationalism. Later in the discussion, The Atlantic Senior Editor Ron Brownstein said that it is a"continuum" and that while most Americans do not accept the tenants of"outright White nationalism," the Republican coalition is focused on voters who are most"uneasy" about how the country is changing.
Brownstein and Jennings then began talking over one another. Jennings said it was"not right" to compare Republican parents with concerns about what is happening in the classroom with White nationalists. "It’s just not correct to say, well, I think schools ought to have this kind of curriculum. That doesn’t make you a White nationalist to be concerned about what’s being taught in a school," he said."I see you’re trying to link them together but it’s not true."
