Scott Jennings Reveals Who He Thinks Should Be Leading the Democratic Party — and It’s Not AOC or Crockett

CNN’s conservative pundit Scott Jennings launched a scathing critique of the Democratic Party on State of the Union on Sunday, dismissing its future leadership prospects and mocking the party’s cultural agenda as “on the wrong side of every 80/20 issue.”

Sitting next to Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI), Jennings scoffed at her insistence that Democrats must pivot to a proactive agenda.

“I’ll defend the Democrats. They are for things: illegal aliens, you’re for boys and girls sports. I mean, you are for things. And that’s why you have such struggles right now in your party. Because you’re not for anything that’s on the right side of any of the 80/20 issues that are driving this cultural divide in America,” he began.

Jennings also offered one name as a possible improvement over the current progressive icons dominating the party’s narrative: “I think Wes Moore is actually a pretty talented communicator. The other person who spoke in South Carolina, Tim Walz, is a special mixture of extreme buffoonery and a mean spirit, which is a toxic brew. He is not the future of the Democratic Party.”

He continued: “Moore is interesting. Moore is interesting, probably more interesting than some of the radicals you have out there – [Jasmine] Crockett, AOC, I mean, these are the true leaders of your party right now, but it’d probably be better off replacing them.”

His remarks came just days after CNN released a poll showing Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) was the top choice among liberal voters when asked who best reflects the Democratic Party’s values. But the numbers were stark: AOC led with just 10%, followed closely by Vice President Kamala Harris (9%) and Sen. Bernie Sanders (8%). A further 26% of respondents had no opinion at all.
