CNN’s conservative commentator Scott Jennings has mocked the prominent liberals who have been meeting with President Donald Trump after years of comparing him to Nazi leader Adolf Hitler.
Jennings tore into prominent liberals on Monday who have pivoted to a more sober tone about Trump after spending years lambasting him as a “fascist” and a “threat to democracy.”
His comments follow news that Trump held a meeting with MSNBC co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough this week.
Trump also held a cordial summit with President Joe Biden at the White House last week.
Jennings remarked on the about-face, considering both the “Morning Joe” hosts and Biden have consistently labeled Trump a “fascist” threat.
“I‘m amazed,” Jennings told a panel on “CNN NewsNight” Monday evening.
“I did not expect Hitler to get so many meeting requests, first from Joe Biden, now from Mika and Joe.
“It‘s amazing that literal Hitler is getting all these meeting requests,” he added with a wry smile on his face.
Jennings went on to say these examples of diplomacy with Trump prove that prominent liberals defrauded Democrat voters.
He noted that it proves the Left’s rhetoric on Trump being a dictator, including on “Morning Joe,” was fabricated and they knew it wasn’t true.
Addressing fellow panelist Jeff Jarvis, Jennings said:
“And what it tells me, professor, is that all the rhetoric that came from the Left, from the Democrats, from the White House, from Kamala Harris and everyone else before the election, all of the rhetoric – the fascism, the Hitler, the Nazi rally – it was all a bunch of BS.
“They didn‘t mean any of it.
“And if I were in the Democrat sort-of rabble’s shoes, I would be looking at all my leaders and going, ‘Did you just BS me for an entire six weeks before the election?’”

The MSNBC “Morning Joe” co-hosts revealed on Monday that they met with Trump in Mar-a-Lago last week.
It was their first time seeing him face-to-face in seven years after their relationship collapsed when Trump first took office.
Both pundits, who are among Trump’s harshest media critics, said the meeting was an important opportunity for those who disagree to speak with each other.
Brzezinski and Scarborough said they will take a “different” direction as they move forward and will “restart communications” with Trump.
They also responded to critics blasting them for going through with it, which included conservatives who labeled them phonies to liberals who said they were traitors to the cause.
“Joe and I realized it’s time to do something different, and that starts with not only talking about Donald Trump but also talking with him,” Brzezinksi said.
Scarborough added, “Don’t be mistaken.
“We’re not here to defend or normalize Donald Trump.
“We’re here to report on him and to hopefully provide you insights that are going to better equip all of us in understanding these deeply unsettling times.”

Jarvis, who also authored the book “The Gutenberg Parenthesis,” replied to Jennings by claiming that Trump is in fact a “fascist” and a “totalitarian” who threatens America.
He argues that those liberals who are now making nice with him are failing to hold him accountable.
“I just reread Hannah Arendt’s ‘The Origins of Totalitarianism,’ and I cannot tell you how relevant it is to today,” Jarvis declared.
“What has gone on in totalitarian regimes before is what is happening in this country right now. It is fascism.
“His generals called him fascist. Joe Scarborough called him fascist”
He added, “And now the fascist is in charge, and it is journalism‘s job to cover it that way, not to back off and say, ‘Okay, well that‘s it, we lost. Let the fascism happen.’”
Democrat strategist Julie Roginsky argued that the liberals in question do believe Trump’s a fascist but care more about boosting their careers than confronting him at this point.
“It says a lot more actually, Scott, about them than it does about their beliefs because they believe it, they just don‘t care because they believe in their own careers more,” she said.
“And that’s the part that’s disgusting to me.”
