For all the horrible things CNN has done, it's truly given us a gift in Scott Jennings. 

Jennings spends the vast majority of his time at the network, embarrassing his colleagues in the most polite way possible, and he doesn't do it with name-calling or insults. He just unapologetically tells the truth. 

In his latest bout of schooling his co-workers, a CNN panel that featured Jennings got onto the subject of RFK. Geoff Duncan said there's "intellectually" no reason by RFK Jr. should be the HHS secretary, and at best should be an "advisor." Duncan said that there's nothing on his resume that qualifies Kennedy. 

It should be noted that the current HHS secretary is Xavier Becerra, a lawyer who was once California's Attorney General, who also has no health background, but this is never brought up by the left. The assistant secretary for the HHS is Rachel Levine, a man who thinks he's a woman. 

Jennings tried to confront Duncan with this fact by asking what the qualifications of the previous heads of the HHS were, even before Becerra, causing Duncan to reveal his cards. 

"RFK Jr. is a nut." 

Again, I remind everyone of Rachel Levine, but I digress. 

With Duncan's true reasoning now laid bare, Jennings began his offensive. 

“Okay, so that's different from what you just said," said Jennings. "You just said he doesn't possess the requisite managerial experience, but then we get to the real issue here, which is you want to insult the man." 

Jennings said that RFK Jr. may or may not be confirmed and there will be a lot of talk about his opinions on the COVID vaccines discussed during the hearing.

"I'll tell you one thing," Jennings began, "this whole issue of the CDC and these public health agencies — look, public trust in the health regimes in this country is as low as it's ever been —" 

John Avion cut in asking, "But why, Scott?" and Jennings immediately made the truth clear. 

"Because of COVID!" said Jennings. "Because of school closures! Because of mask mandates! Because this country was dragged through a bunch of condescending and heavy-handed mandates that all turned out to be garbage, and that's why it's low, and the questions are valid!" 

Avion attempted to say that the CDC is currently in question because Kennedy "promoted the assault" against the institution, lowering American's trust in it, but Jennings wasn't having that. 

"No, the CDC led to its own demise," said Jennings.  

CNN is hosting an on-air struggle session over Trump's selection of @RobertKennedyJr to lead HHS.

But @ScottJenningsKY isn't having it.

While it's fun to watch Jennings work, I think it's also important to not let an interesting fact slip by here. 

These other panelists, who are clearly on the left, have no desire to put the blame on the institutions or the elitists who run them, elitists that many of these people are friends with. Notice that while they try to blame someone like Kennedy for spreading "misinformation," what they're ultimately saying is that you're still to blame for COVID spreading. 

The institutions that told us to do all of these things ended up hurting us even more, as Jennings pointed out, but these elitists can't admit that. Notice they didn't linger on how the masks didn't work, or the lockdowns made it worse; the only attack they have is that "RFK. Jr. is a nut," and that our institutions aren't as trusted anymore because of nuts like him. 

One has to ask themselves who the real nuts in the room are. The ones denying an obvious reality, or the ones trying to keep up a lie debunked long ago.
