CNN conservative pundit Scott Jennings recently had to put a panel back in their place during a conversation concerning the topic of President Joe Biden’s “legacy.” Just the fact there are people who think he even has a legacy is mind-blowing. Allow me to summarize what he should be remembered for. How about the disastrous Afghanistan troop withdrawal that left 13 service members dead? Or the poor economic policies that led to a massive spike in inflation and sky high prices for groceries and energy? Or the commutations he issued to convicted death row inmates? How can we forget about his pardon for troubled son Hunter Biden? Ahhh. There’s nothing like the scent of nepotism in the morning, am I right?
That’s what Joe Biden’s “legacy” will be. In part, that is. There’s plenty more where all of that came from. Like using the Justice Department and the law enforcement agencies that fall under its purview to strike at a political enemy for example.

The unenviable task of bringing fairness and objectivity to CNN once again fell on conservative firebrand Scott Jennings — and yes, this had everything to do with that “legacy.” On Sunday, Jennings was part of a panel on CNN’s “State of the Union” program and was once again forced to bring some objectivity to a network that desperately needs some. As many CNN segments are wont to do, this particular bit started with an exploration of what President-elect Donald Trump’s second term could look like. And yes, it was about what one would expect from CNN in 2024.
“And I don’t think this Donald Trump is going to be similar to the last one at all,” CNN contributor Bakari Sellers went on to say, according to the CNN transcripts. “I think he realizes that he only has four years. The difference, however, the substantive difference and something we have to watch — and I know that media and journalists will watch it more now than we did with Joe Biden — is that he’s 78 years old. The presidency ages you. And so I’m interested to see how Donald Trump continues to look, act, if he has the same vigor over the next two, three, four years, because being an 80-year-old president, as we have just seen for the last four years, is a bit much.”
They now suddenly care about his age do they? Ridiculous.
CNN contributor Karen Finney, meanwhile, argued that Trump’s personality would grate against American sensibilities — though she stopped just short of predicting a “blue wave” during the 2026 midterms.
“I think Americans are also going to get sick of kind of what we’re going to see, which is a repeat of chaos on Capitol Hill,” Finney said during the panel discussion. “We have already seen sort of that clash with traditional conservative values around the budget, for example, and raising the debt ceiling with the president. I think he’s not going to be able to figure out how to make folks bend to his will at every turn. And I think Democrats will stay out of the way and let folks see. This — if this is what you want, here’s the full Trump. And I do think, within two years, when we get to a midterm, it’s going to be too much, and I think you’re going to see a backlash.”
And here’s the part where my man Scott Jennings comes in and obliterates these knuckleheads.
“I will tell you what I think Americans are sick of, Joe Biden, uncommon nonsense that comes out of the Democratic Party,” Jennings said, once his moment came. And that quip opened up a conversation about Joe Biden’s “legacy.” Jennings would go back-and-forth with other panelists — Finney in particular tried to argue that Biden’s “legacy” was virtuous — before finally dropping the hammer.
“Look, I think he’s going to leave office in disgrace,” Jennings said. “The Hunter Biden pardon was disgraceful. He’s going to be remembered largely for inflation and for the disastrous Afghanistan pullout. And I think as we continue to — we’re just getting the first draft of this now.
He then added, “But as we continue to learn about the massive cover-up that went on, not about his health, but about his mental acuity, to cover that up, the efforts that were undertaken by the White House staff, by his family, not in the last couple of months, but for all four years, I think it’s going to be a really ugly chapter. It’s a diminished presidency because of it. And I think we still don’t know the full extent of what they did to try to hide what they have been doing over in the West Wing.”

The panel then attempted to make the case that the president “showed up” and that he never kicked off an “insurrection” at the Capitol building. You know, typical talking points from liberals who know they have no answer for legitimate criticisms of Biden and the solutions that Trump has presented during the election cycle that appeal to the issues normal Americans are facing.
So the bottom line is that Biden’s legacy can be described in one word: disgrace.
