CNN's Scott Jennings Just Took a Blowtorch to the Dems' Reasons for Shutting Down DHS

CNN’s Scott Jennings did what he does best: taking a katana to liberal narratives, and he shut down the panel last night by obliterating the Democrats’ arguments for shutting down the Department of Homeland Security. We’re at war with Iran, we’re seeing terrorist reprisals on our home soil, and terror sleeper cells might be activated, if not already. We need DHS operational. It’s been shut down since Presidents’ Day weekend, as Democrats try to force the Trump administration to curb their deportation agenda via Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Jennings put all the arguments to rest. Actually, he took them to the woodshed: 

But does anyone here believe that we should keep the Department of Homeland Security — that’s the name of it — indefinitely shut down to try to force ICE policy changes on an agency that’s already funded until 2029…” 

“When you acknowledge there are sleeper cells, when we all see radical Islamic terrorists throwing IEDs in New York City, when we saw a radical Muslim terrorist shoot up a bar in Austin, when we had tornadoes in Oklahoma and Michigan this weekend, when we have TSA lines of five hours in airports, we have all these things going on.” 

“Is it even remotely reasonable to keep it closed?!” 

 Democrats don’t seem to care that ICE is funded. The Big, Beautiful Bill is keeping the deportation raids alive. All this shutdown is doing is screwing over TSA agents and leaving our homeland vulnerable to attack.
