CNN’s Scott Jennings Jokes About Deporting and Imprisoning Anyone With ‘Pronouns In Your Email Signature’

 

CNN GOP analyst Scott Jennings cracked that President Donald Trump’s idea of shipping U.S. citizens to El Salvador should be extended to anyone with “pronouns in your email signature.”

Earlier this week, Jennings stunned anchor Abby Phillip by defending Trump’s idea of deporting American citizens in federal prisons to El Salvador.

On Wednesday’s edition of CNN NewsNight, Phillip and her panelists — Jennings, Ana Navarro, Shermichael Singleton, and Tiffany Cross — took turns listing grievance-related executive orders they’d sign, a reference to Trump’s water-fixated proclamation.

Jennings used the premise to lash out at a list of offenders that included anyone guilty of being sensitive to pronoun preferences and “Disney adults”:

PHILLIP: We’re back, and it’s time for the news nightcap, daily grievance edition. President Trump signed an executive order today targeting water pressure in shower heads. So you each have a few seconds to tell us what executive order you would issue to fix a daily grievance. Shermichael?

SINGLETON: All right. So, I’m a fast driver. I like to drive in the fast lane. I hate when people drive slow in the fast lane. We need an E.O., you get a ticket. Maybe even put people in jail so that I can get to where the hell I want to go. No driving slow in the fast lane. That’s my —

PHILLIP: You and my husband are on the same page. I know that.

SINGLETON: There we go. Shout out to your husband, Anthony.

PHILLIP: Go ahead, Ana.

NAVARRO: Well, I was going to say how much I hate the cold. It’s now what? Almost mid-April. It’s supposed to be spring. People are wearing spring colors and it’s still 30 degrees in New York. This is abominable. I would like an executive order to abolish cold weather after the month of February. I also would like people to answer questions that get asked directly.

SINGLETON: You just had to put that one at high.

CROSS: Yes.

SINGLETON: You just had to get that dig, huh?

PHILLIP: Yes.

CROSS: Well, Ana, I don’t want to make light of these EOs because

they are a very serious issue. But in the spirit of this conversation —

PHILLIP: I think you can make light of the shower, what? I’m sorry.

CROSS: Yes. Well, it’s ridiculous. Well, some of his EOs are very damaging. But in spirit of this conversation, I would say, I would have an executive order. I do not want to hear your conversation on your phone. Use your headphones. If you’re in public, I don’t want to hear your conversation. And just as a common courtesy, younger people who grew up with these devices are losing social grace and just having speaker phone conversation.

PHILLIP: FaceTime conversation.

CROSS: FaceTime conversation. I don’t like it at all. Please use your headphones. (CROSSTALK)

PHILLIP: All right, we got to get to Scott.

JENNINGS: More than 15 seconds at the coffee creamer bar at the coffee shop? Straight to El Salvador.

Two or more walking side by side on a sidewalk? You’re gone, El Salvador. Recline your seat on an airplane? El Salvador. Disney adults, you’re going too.

And finally, pronouns in your e-mail signature. Out of here. Those are my EOs.

NAVARRO: What was the thing? Kissing adults —

JENNINGS: Disney adults.

PHILLIP: Disney Adults. Okay.

All right, everybody. Thank you very much for watching “NewsNight”. Thank you all for being here in the studio. You can catch me anytime on your favorite social media platforms — X, Instagram and TikTok. “Laura Coates Live” though starts right now.

NAVARRO: What’s a Disney adult?
