‘You Don’t Know That!’ Scott Jennings Throws Down With CNN Colleagues Over Whether Angry Town Hall Attendees Are ‘Unhinged Boomer’ Dems

CNN anchor Kate Bolduan and network political commentator Karen Finney both pushed back on Tuesday morning after Scott Jennings dismissed angry voters confronting Republican lawmakers at town halls as “unhinged boomer Democrats.”

Jennings and Finney joined Bolduan on Tuesday to discuss viral confrontations coming out of town halls held by GOP lawmakers. One such incident recently included Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) getting into a shouting match with a handful of voters expressing concerns about Elon Musk and DOGE (Department of Government Efficiency) cuts.

Jennings agreed with Finney that there is “anxiety” about the economy, but he chalked up angry town hall goers to “boomer” Democrats who would not be voting for the people they’re yelling at anyway when asked whether he would personally be holding town halls right now.

Jennings argued:

I guess it depends on what you want your — how you want to spend your nights, getting yelled at by unhinged boomer Democrats. I mean, do you see, like, these people? And Karen said some things that were correct about people having some concern about the economy. Absolutely true. That’s usually the top concern for voters. But did you hear the voter that we played? Elon Musk is personally invading my Social Security file! And that’s not the mark of someone who’s concerned about the economy. That’s the mark of someone who’s an unhinged boomer Democrat partisan activist who showed up to yell at a Republican. They didn’t vote for Donald Trump, or they’re not going to vote.

“Scott, you don’t know that! You don’t know that!” Finney shot back.

Bolduan agreed, arguing the political affiliation of any voter should not be relevant to their concerns.

“You don’t know if they’re a Democrat, but two, if they’re a voter in the district, no matter what you think of it, they can still be concerned about it,” she said.

“But that person thinks that Elon Musk is personally invading his Social Security file? I mean, think about the level of conspiracy theory partisanship that you’d have to engage in to believe that the world’s richest man is getting into your Social Security file,” Jennings fired back.

“I can definitely point you to some conspiracy theories that took us down some holes for many election cycles,” Bolduan said, referring to long-standing concerns among critics about DOGE’s access to private information.

Jennings argued that the voters yelling at town halls are not “representative” of the majority of their districts, something Bolduan agreed with.

“That is true. I will say that is true,” she said. “It is definitely representative of a temperature of what’s happening out in the country.”
