‘Lawyer up’: Scott Jennings sends WaPo journo into meltdown mode over ‘Elon derangement syndrome’

CNN’s resident Republican Scott Jennings seems to be the real deal, and it showed in a battle with a Washington Post propagandist.

Catherine Rampell was doing her best Monday night to keep alive the ridiculous accusation that Elon Musk made a Nazi salute during a Tesla/Space X speech at Capitol One Arena in Washington D.C. last week. The charges against Musk came in fast and furious from leftists and their media allies despite numerous incidences of Democrats doing the same thing and the Anti-Defamation League coming to his defense.

But, it’s only wrong when a Republican does it.

“I just think it’s horrific… I don’t understand why this guy keeps getting the benefit of the doubt, whether or not he believes this stuff, personally,” Rampell said.

Not taking the bait, Jennings turned the tables on Rampell and included a warning.

NEW: Journalist Catherine Rampell has a meltdown after Scott Jennings tells her to lawyer up after she suggested Elon Musk is aligning himself with Nazis.

CNN is now directly accusing Elon Musk of doing a Nazi salute at Trump’s rally.

“We’ve moved on from Trump derangement syndrome to Elon derangement syndrome,” Jennings shot back. “So, he has a long record of supporting the Jewish people, number one. Number two, anybody who is asserting this thing he did on the stage the other day was a Sieg Heil, which I just heard you say, you know, lawyer up maybe because, absolute[ly] ridiculous thing to say.”

Jennings’ comeback sent Rampell into a meltdown who childishly started yelling at him to make the same gesture on air.

The heated exchange quickly went viral on X where Jennings was lauded for keeping his cool:

Rampell’s meltdown is just her pathetic attempt to distract from the real issues

Accusing Musk of Nazism is so absurd one wonders if the press still understands the true weight of those words.

They are all going to be making the face soon, Collin. They will be reading daily legal notices just like on The View. pic.twitter.com/nsJLikpu9c

Ha, ha, ha!

The Trump and Elon effects are really doing a number on the legacy media’s mental health.
