One thing that has become crystal clear in recent years is that the permanent administrative class in Washington, DC is overwhelmingly leftist and shifts into ‘resistance’ mode the minute that Trump, or any Republican, takes office.
Scott Jennings recently pointed this out on CNN and naturally, his on-air colleagues couldn’t handle the truth, arguing that this isn’t true.
Jennings is absolutely correct. All one has to do is look at the swamp judges who issue last minute rulings to block aspects of Trump’s agenda, or the mysterious ‘leaks’ that seem to find their way to the liberal media over and over again.
These people are the real threat to democracy, and by the way, who elected them? No one.
Real Clear Politics provides a partial transcript of Jennings and others on CNN:
SCOTT JENNINGS: I think one other point, and this is the push and pull of when a Republican is the president.
There’s an attempt when a Republican’s in the White House, Donald Trump or any other Republican, to argue that these federal agencies, federal workers, the bureaucracy sort of can act independently or autonomously from the political leadership of the country. And that’s what’s happening here. That’s why everyone is melting down.
That’s why the lady came on CNN today. They don’t want to answer the email because they don’t want to answer to the president. And the message from Trump and Musk is, we have political leaders in this country, and you’ve got to answer to them.
ABBY PHILLIP, CNN: I’m not following you. Are you saying —
JENNINGS: Yes.
PHILLIP: Are you suggesting that it’s only when Republicans are president —
JENNINGS: Yes.
PHILLIP: — that agencies —
JENNINGS: 100%. Yes.
PHILLIP: — express independence?
JENNINGS: Yes.
PHILLIP: Well, you know that that’s not true.

It’s amazing that the other people on the panel with Jennings deny that this is true. There are so many examples to prove it’s true and we see new ones every day, even on CNN.
