  • Jennings also repeatedly pushed back on claims by Democrats that no one in the Trump administration has acknowledged SignalGate was a mistake: "Trump did!" The post 'They Won't Do It Again!' CNN's Scott Jennings Calls SignalGate a 'Small Mistake' and Utterly Dismisses Idea Hegseth Should Be Fired For It first appeared on Mediaite.

In a recent segment on CNN, political commentator Scott Jennings addressed the controversy surrounding Fox News host Pete Hegseth's use of a private messaging app, Signal, to communicate with former President Donald Trump's team during broadcasts. Jennings described the incident, dubbed "Signalgate," as a minor mistake rather than a significant ethical breach. He argued that while Hegseth's actions might have been inappropriate, they did not warrant his dismissal from Fox News. Jennings emphasized that such occurrences are not uncommon in the media industry and suggested that Hegseth's use of Signal was more about convenience and privacy than any malicious intent. He concluded by stating that the backlash was overblown and that Hegseth would likely be more cautious in the future, but firing him would be an excessive response.
