CNN commentator Scott Jennings expressed frustration at the rhetoric, such as fascist and Nazis, to describe Republicans on a CNN panel today. “For 10 years, we have heard nothing from the left but that Donald Trump is a fascist, Republicans are Nazis, authoritarians, destroy the Constitution, bloodbath,” Jennings said. “He’s been obviously marinating in some kind of information that radicalized him based on what he heard in the air in this country,” Jennings said of the assassin.

SCOTT JENNINGS: That is the message that the shooter, Tyler Robinson, sent to his roommate. That is what he said. He also engraved the word, hey, fascist, catch, on the bullet. For 10 years, we have heard nothing from the left but that Donald Trump is a fascist, Republicans are Nazis, authoritarians, destroy the Constitution, bloodbath… And he’s been obviously marinating in some kind of information that radicalized him based on what he heard in the air in this country… All I know is what the prosecutor said today. He read very lucid messages from a shooter who was motivated by political hate, who had a plan to get away with it. He did not sound like a deranged person. He sounded like someone who had decided to take it upon himself to rid the world of someone that he hated politically, that he thought that the world would be better off without that. That’s different than some deranged lunatic showing up off the street… Look, I am only reacting to what I have seen and heard out here for the last eight years, which is nothing but Democrats and liberal pundits and supposed analysts assigning the word fascist to Republicans from Trump all the way down. I see a shooter who’s engraved it on a bullet. I have a shooter who sent a message to his roommate, whatever, I’ve had enough of this hatred. I’m only simply suggesting that we stop looking the evidence in the face and saying, gee whiz, what happened here?
