CNN’s Ana Navarro and Scott Jennings faced off during a CNN conversation about the recently released recordings from Maryanne Trump Barry. It became clear that conservative supporters of President Donald Trump, Scott Jennings, didn’t have a defense for the details from Trump’s sister. So, he attacked Mary Trump for recording the conversations she used as research for her tell-all book.
Both Republicans agreed that former GOP presidents like George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney wouldn’t appear at the convention in the coming week. Jennings said that they don’t matter anyway.
“Look, I suspect that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Mitt Romney, you know, they would rather by waterboarded than be at the convention,” said Navarro. “Ironically enough, the only nominees that have spoken at a convention is John McCain. We heard him in his own words, basically talking in favor of Joe Biden. So, you’re going to hearing more Republican nominees than in the Republican conversation. That’s what the Democratic convention was about, making it a very big tent be, where everybody from Democratic progressives to Republicans to moderates to Indenepdents could be included. They realize that the more the better. They also have great, energizing speakers in their former presidents. People like Barack Obama and Michelle Obama, who are very energizing for their base.”
