The liberal media’s relentless smear campaign against Republicans reached new heights of absurdity during a recent CNN panel, where GOP strategist Scott Jennings dismantled Harvard professor Jay Michaelson’s hysterical accusations that the Republican Party and the Trump administration tolerate white supremacists. The exchange, which quickly devolved into a leftist meltdown, exposed the desperation of the left to demonize conservatives rather than address the very real crisis of antisemitism plaguing American universities.
Jennings, defending the Trump administration’s bold stance against campus antisemitism, pointed out that “until Donald Trump came along and his administration decided to connect federal funds to stamping out the scourge of anti-Semitism on these campuses,” Jewish students had been abandoned by the institutions meant to protect them. Instead of engaging with the substance of Jennings’ argument, Michaelson resorted to deranged interruptions, shouting, “Like Nick Fuentes? Like the Sieg Heil salute?”—a reference to debunked claims about Elon Musk, a senior advisor in the Trump White House.
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) itself dismissed the allegation that Musk made a Nazi salute, clarifying in a January 20 post on X that it was merely “an awkward gesture in a moment of enthusiasm.” Yet, Michaelson and the liberal media continue to peddle this false narrative, revealing their willingness to distort reality to attack Trump and his allies.
Jennings, refusing to let the smear go unchallenged, fired back: “You guys are nowhere—you have white supremacists in your party and in your administration.” To which Jennings delivered the knockout blow: “You sound unhinged. You sound crazy.” And he was right. The left’s obsession with painting Republicans as racists is not just dishonest—it’s a deliberate distraction from their own failures.
While Democrats and their media allies hyperventilate over fabricated scandals, President Trump has taken decisive action to protect Jewish students. Under his leadership, ICE arrested Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Hamas agitator at Columbia University, after his green card was revoked—a move that actually combats extremism rather than coddling it. Meanwhile, elite universities like Harvard, steeped in leftist ideology, have allowed antisemitic harassment to fester unchecked.
Trump’s commitment to defending Jewish Americans is undeniable. His daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism, and his son-in-law Jared Kushner is a proud Jewish man raising Jewish children. Yet, the left would rather slander Trump as a Nazi sympathizer than acknowledge his administration’s concrete steps to combat hate.
The hypocrisy is staggering. The same liberals who remain silent as pro-Hamas mobs chant genocidal slogans on campuses are suddenly moral crusaders when it comes to smearing conservatives. Jennings nailed it: “The American people don’t want a private university with a 53billionendowmenttoget53billionendowmenttoget1 while a Jewish kid is being discriminated against on campuses.”
The left is not only remaining silent, they are funding Hamas through their USAID! And no doubt are funding their antisemitism on college campuses, through their NGO’s!
It’s the same NZ salute given by Jeremiah Johnson, at the end of the movie. They can’t hurt Donald Trump’s political future. Elon Musk is a great African-American success. Demonrats are beaten. All they have left is name calling and street violence.
