Scott Jennings On Trump Mocking Haley's Deployed Husband: 'He's An Asshole'

It's telling here that for Jennings, the real crime here is not Trump being an asshole again (we've all known that for many years), but that Trump's attack on Nikki Haley is political ineptitude. Trump's remarks at a campaign rally might get his adoring MAGA crowd clapping like trained seals, but for anyone else listening it's just another unforced error. And because as much as Jennings is disgusted by Trump on a personal level, he'll still vote for him in November rather than Joe Biden or any other Democrat. No, the real crime for Jennings would be for Trump to lose to Joe Biden. Again.

On Saturday Trump spoke of Major Mark Haley, stating: "Then she comes over to see me at Mar-a-Lago. ‘Sir, I will never run against you.’ She brought her husband. Where’s your husband? Oh, he’s away. He’s away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone! He knew. He knew."

With host Tapper noting that Haley's husband is serving a one-year tour of duty in Africa with the South Carolina National Guard, Jennings jumped right into the fray.

"Haley is not with his wife because he is serving his country in Africa, where they are fighting terrorism," Tapper prompted his guest.

"He's an asshole," Jennings shot back.

"You're talking about Trump, to be clear?" the CNN host interjected.
