Scott Jennings shrugs off Herschel Walker abortion scandal because ‘there is a lot at stake’

CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings announced Wednesday that he was unfazed by revelations that GOP Senate candidate Herschel Walker had paid for his ex-girlfriend’s abortion, claiming there was “a lot at stake” for Republicans.

In the wake of The Daily Beast’s report that Walker – who operates on a strict anti-abortion platform – urged his ex-girlfriend to have an abortion in 2009 and then paid for it, conservative lawmakers, OfficialsAnd the Media personalities They all rallied around the former soccer champion.

For example, right-wing radio presenter Dana Loach He made that clear on Tuesday that despite her anti-abortion principles, she doesn’t care about Walker’s payment for abortion as long as the Republican Party takes over the Senate this fall.

“So, does that change anything? Do you want my opinion? You listen. Not a damn thing. How many times have I said four very important words? These four words: Winning is a virtue. What I am about to say is in no way a contradiction or compromise of principle ‘ Loach argued on her show.

And please keep in mind that I am only concerned about one thing and one thing at this point. So, I don’t care if Herschel Walker pushed to abort critically endangered vultures.” “I want to take control of the Senate.” During a CNN panel discussion Wednesday afternoon, broadcaster Victor Blackwell aired Loach’s remarks before asking Jennings — who did Repeatedly described His anti-abortion stance – to his reaction.

“Is this theory now that it doesn’t really matter whether he violated the orthodoxy of the Republican Party, and he’s anti-abortion?” Blackwell asked. “We want the hammer. We want control of the Senate. We will reject this if it is true.”

“Exactly,” Jennings declared, echoing CNN political correspondent Nia Malika Henderson that the Georgia Senate race was “very close,” before adding that most Republicans in the state would adopt views similar to those of Loach.

“Let me ask what you think, Scott. Do you care?” Blackwell enters.

The former Republican strategist responded: “My view is that there is a lot at stake.” “And you ask me, as a Republican who thinks this country is in the ditch, well, maybe Herschel Walker did something 13 years ago, so I let Joe Biden and the Democrats continue to have unfettered access to politics? No thanks!”

After ignoring the allegations against Walker, Jennings insisted that this is how I “analyze and doubt most Republicans would go there,” adding that while “some people might analyze it differently” this is his “personal place.”

“I think it’s true that more Republicans are aborting somewhat than we think,” Henderson said. “The public and political stance is an anti-abortion stance, but I think we know that both Republicans and Democrats have benefited from getting abortions and it will continue to be in this country no matter what kind of political and public statements.”

“The question is hypocrisy,” Blackwell concluded, with Walker publicly saying he doesn’t believe in any exceptions to abortion, yet the party now saying “we’ll excuse him if it’s true because they want control.”

While Jennings feels that Republicans should be prepared to move past Walker’s recent scandals in order to secure the Senate this year, He called “every republican” to disavow The recent “Assassination Instructions” issued by former President Donald Trump against Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. It was Jennings, coincidentally Once an aide to McConnell.
