CNN senior political commentator Scott Jennings, whose profile has skyrocketed this past year by becoming one of Donald Trump’s most loyal media defenders, has been tapped by the conservative Salem Radio Network to take over the midday time slot once filled by slain right-wing activist Charlie Kirk.
Axios first reported Wednesday that Jennings, along with Breitbart News editor Alex Marlow, will take over the noon-3 pm ET block that Kirk’s show had occupied. Since the Turning Point USA leader’s assassination in September, The Charlie Kirk Show has been hosted by TPUSA staffers Andrew Kolvet and Blake Neff.
