Jennings Destroys Soviet Comparison With Perfect Eye Roll
During Thursday’s CNN NewsNight, Scott Jennings delivered what observers called an “Olympic-level” eye roll when Ukraine-born panelist Lev Parnas compared ICE operations in Minneapolis to Soviet-era police stops. Jennings’s reaction perfectly captured what millions of Americans think when leftists make such ridiculous comparisons between lawful immigration enforcement and authoritarian regimes. The moment went viral as conservatives celebrated Jennings for refusing to dignify Parnas’s inflammatory rhetoric with a serious response.
Parnas, a former Giuliani associate, claimed the ICE raids triggered his “PTSD” and accused Trump of “learning from Putin.” This outrageous comparison demonstrates how the left weaponizes emotional manipulation to attack legitimate law enforcement. Jennings’s eye roll served as the perfect rebuttal to such absurd theatrics, showing that patriots won’t be intimidated by leftist hysteria over enforcing immigration law.
Federal Authority Clashes With Sanctuary City Resistance
Minneapolis has become a flashpoint for immigration enforcement, with 300 federal ICE agents deployed to a city whose local officials actively resist cooperation. Mayor Jacob Frey complained that the federal presence creates “two governmental entities fighting,” revealing how sanctuary city policies undermine law and order. This resistance forces ICE agents to operate without local support, creating dangerous situations that could be avoided through proper cooperation.
The tension escalated after ICE agents were involved in a shooting incident that sparked protests, which police dispersed with tear gas. Frey claimed the 300 ICE agents outnumbering his 600 local police officers creates an “impossible” situation, but this reflects his city’s deliberate non-cooperation rather than federal overreach. When local governments refuse to enforce immigration law, federal agents must step in to protect American communities from illegal immigration.
CNN Panel Attacks Jennings for Defending Law Enforcement
Host Abby Phillip repeatedly challenged Jennings throughout the segment, disputing his factual claims about Minneapolis’s lack of cooperation compared to other cities. Phillips emphasized “constitutional rights” while downplaying the importance of enforcing immigration law, revealing CNN’s typical anti-enforcement bias. The network’s own “MAGA star” faced coordinated attacks from multiple panelists simply for arguing that “illegal immigration law should be enforced.”
Jennings stood firm against the panel’s attempts to portray lawful immigration enforcement as authoritarian overreach. His defense of ICE operations highlighted the fundamental divide between conservatives who support law and order and leftists who prioritize protecting illegal immigrants over American citizens. This exchange perfectly demonstrates why patriotic Americans appreciate Jennings’s willingness to confront liberal media narratives with common-sense conservative principles.
