Conservative commentator Scott Jennings is facing calls for disciplinary action after a live on-air clash with 23-year-old MeidasTouch reporter Adam Mockler on CNN ended with Jennings shouting an expletive during a tense debate over the U.S. war with Iran.
The confrontation unfolded Thursday night on NewsNight with Abby Phillip, where Jennings and Mockler argued over whether President Donald Trump's military campaign against Iran had produced meaningful gains for the United States. As Mockler pressed Jennings to name a concession the U.S. had secured from Iran, the exchange grew personal. Jennings mocked Mockler's age, saying he was "up past bedtime" and comparing his attention span to that of a "gnat."
