CNN has brushed off criticism aimed at Scott Jennings after the political commentator spoke at Donald Trump’s rally Wednesday night - claiming it’s standard practice for its paid contributors to make political appearances.
While the network is defending the rally speech by Jennings, who has become an ubiquitous presence on CNN airwaves as the channel’s chief MAGA advocate, the cable news giant took a different stance when Fox News stars Sean Hannity and Jeanine Pirro were brought up on a Trump campaign stage during the president's first term.
