CNN’s Scott Jennings Lashes Out at Trump Pal Over ‘Your Guy’ Navarro ‘Crapping All Over’ Elon Musk

CNN GOP analyst Scott Jennings lashed out at ex-Trump advisor Stephen A. Moore over Peter Navarro “crapping all over” Elon Musk after Moore praised President Donald Trump’s senior trade adviser.

On Tuesday’s edition of CNN NewsNight, anchor Abby Phillip was joined by a panel that included Moore, Jennings, Ana Navarro, Shermichael Singleton, and Rachel Lindsay to discuss the news of the day.

When the subject turned to the roiling and very public Musk-Navarro feud over tariffs, Ana Navarro did a double-take at Moore’s comparison to “Abraham Lincoln and his team of rivals.”

And after Moore praised Navarro as “heroic,” Jennings pushed back:

PHILLIP: So, Steve you know him.

MOORE: Yes, I know Peter better and I know —

PHILLIP: I take you don’t like each other that much. I mean, is that a stretch?

MOORE: I get along with everyone, you know that. But, listen, Trump, you know, when you watch that little infighting that’s going on, it reminds me of Abraham Lincoln and his team of rivals.

He had people at the table who took —

A. NAVARRO: Peter Navarro and Elon Musk remind you of Abraham Lincoln?

MOORE: Well, yes. But Elon Musk is probably the greatest —

A. NAVARRO: Okay. I must defend Abraham Lincoln on this.

MOORE: He’s the greatest entrepreneur in world history. But I’m going to side on this one with Elon Musk. I mean, Elon Musk is right, that, you know, tariffs are taxes. They can hurt the economy. We’ve got to have the most productive sector of the economy.

But it’s also true that, you know, Peter Navarro, well, figuratively took a bullet for Donald Trump.

He went to jail for Donald Trump. And that’s an amazing act of heroism, in my opinion, to do that rather than rat on what, you know, the president said in secret meetings.

So, I have some admiration for Peter, and I think it’s just perfectly fine that you have this infighting going on and Trump ultimately will make the decision.

JENNINGS: I didn’t like that he was denigrating what is actually a really good American manufacturing success story. The original insult was that Teslas are made of all these foreign components. In fact, Teslas are the most American-made car.

PHILLIP: Yes, that’s true. We have the chart, I mean, to prove your point. I mean, yes. They rank basically at the top on all these different metrics for domestic manufacturing. But Elon is still concerned about the tariffs.

JENNINGS: So, so the administration is always talking about, hey, we got to make more stuff here. Let’s make things in America. Let’s have American-made, you know, cars. Well, Elon is actually doing it, and then your guy goes out, Navarro, and craps all over him and lies about the fact that he’s actually making cars in America.

MOORE: And he’s making EVs and all the liberals —
