CNN Republican commentator Scott Jennings made it clear on Monday that he was not impressed with the Democrats who were suddenly opposed to the United
States granting refugee status to South Africans after years of supporting
the open border policies implemented by former President Joe Biden.

Jennings unloaded on them during a panel discussion on CNN, pointing out the fact that they had supported policies that ultimately let some of the worst criminals into the country, but suddenly had a problem with a few dozen white South Africans who have faced racially-motivated threats and violence in
their country.

ôThe same people who had no problem with letting in 20 million illegal immigrants, gang members included, are suddenly outraged about a small group
of white South African refugees. Spare me,ö Jennings captioned his video.

ôI do think ù itÆs not alleged discrimination that these people are facing in South Africa. I mean, the law there absolutely allows their property to be confiscated,ö Jennings said. ôThey are subject to racial discrimination, some have been subject to violence, from some reports that I have read.ö

ôI mean, weÆre talking about 50-something people, and the people who seem to
be angriest about this today had no problem with 20 million coming here, some of the worst people in the world coming here, including gang members and so
on and so forth, so I donÆt have a lot of sympathy for outrage today after
what happened to this country over the last several years over 50-something people who are clearly being discriminated against in South Africa,ö he
added.

Later on in the segment, Jennings argued with Rep. Seth Moulton (D-MA) who attempted to separate his views on illegal immigration from his support for former President Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris.

ôThe previous administration had priorities about who to let in, including
all kinds of folks who I would argue shouldnÆt be here,ö Jennings said,
noting that the open borders had effectively prioritized unvetted criminal aliens. ôThis administration, I guess, is going to set priorities about who
and who not to let in ùö

ôLetÆs just be honest about what those priorities are,ö Moulton interrupted, suggesting that the skin color of the refugees was what was driving President Donald TrumpÆs policies. ôIÆm a Democrat here, I did not defend the Biden administration on immigration ùö

ôBut you voted for him,ö Jennings pointed out.

ôThat doesnÆt mean that I defend him on immigration ùö Moulton protested.

ôAnd you voted for a continuation of it in 2024, did you not?ö Jennings continued.

ôI ù I did not vote for his policies on immigration,ö Moulton tried again, attempting to argue that he could support the man without taking
responsibility for the policies that man put forth.

ôBut you voted ù you voted to extend the immigration policies of the last administration,ö Jennings said as several others on the panel attempted to
jump to MoultonÆs rescue.

ôNo, I did not vote for that,ö Moulton repeated.

ôThe point is, youÆre in a party that opened the borders, and IÆm in a party that closed the borders, and I think the American people prefer our way,ö Jennings concluded.
