CNN’s Abby Phillip and Scott Jennings got into an on-air debate over the United States’ conflict with Venezuela on Friday, and then tensions rose on social media over the weekend.
Jennings posted a clip from his conversation with Phillip to X on Saturday and captioned it, “Trump: Maybe we shouldn’t let Venezuela send drugs & terrorists to the United States. Nobody: Absolutely Nobody: CNN: Come on, Scott, is Venezuela really that bad?” He then added, “Even I still get surprised sometimes.”
