"Reacting on CNN's The Source to the White House's new January 6 website page which accused Capitol Police of deliberately escalating tensions among patriotic protesters, who were unfairly targeted host Kaitlan Collins asked, That's blaming the cops for what happened that day, is it not Scott? Yeah, I mean, that's how you could read it, replied Jennings, who previously worked as an assistant to President George W. Bush:"
"President Donald Trump caused this insurrection with his lies and conspiracy theories about the election process being rigged against him. It was not stolen, but this madness was fomented by the President and his top advisers over the past several months. I'm ashamed and embarrassed for our country, and for any Republican who fails to condemn this shameful behavior, Jennings concluded."
Scott Jennings publicly split with President Donald Trump over Trump's reaction to the January 6, 2021 Capitol riot, calling it a bad day that should never happen again. Jennings said he does not treat January 6 like a national holiday and does not wish to memorialize it yearly, while acknowledging the president's messaging position. Jennings previously accused Trump of inciting an insurrection and criticized leadership failures, saying the U.S. military's failure to secure the Capitol reflected command failures. He wrote that Trump caused the insurrection with lies and conspiracy theories about a rigged election and expressed shame and embarrassment for the country. Jennings later became one of Trump's more vocal defenders at CNN.
