That, Because CNNs Abby Phillip caught Scott Jennings a bit off-guard on Fridays CNN NewsNight, after the Republican strategist defended President Donald Trumps renaming of the Kennedy Center for himself.
-snip-
PHILLIP: What happens when the next Democratic president just decides, you know, Were gonna call it the Obama-Lincoln Memorial? Were just gonna slap, you know, Bill Clintons name on something, anything arbitrarily. Are you guys gonna be cool with that?
JENNINGS: So youre saying a Democrat would put Obamas name on a statue that isnt of him? That would make them look like the stupidest person that ever lived.
PHILLIP: Well, Im glad you said that, because the Kennedy Center is literally a congressionally-named memorial.

He's also a neo-Nazi, a Klansman without the robe and pointy hat--which, incidentally, would fit his pointed head perfectly.

(230 posts)There once was a pundit on Night,
Who leapt to defend with great might:
If names dont align,
With statues divine,
That logic just cant be quite right!
Said Abby, with eyebrow arched high,
Suppose future Dems give a try
Rename with a whim,
Slap Clinton on him
Would that make you cheer or cry why?
He scoffed at the thought, unimpressed:
A mismatch like that? Its a mess!
To name whats not true
Would make quite the to-do
A choice not exactly the best.
She smiled, then delivered the key:
Thats Congresss call, you see.
The Center you cite
Was named by laws might
So ironys plain as can be.
Excellent!

Abby Phillips didn't even have to try; Jennings did all the work for her.
