CNN guest shut down for asking why Bill Clinton hasn't been 'canceled'
Want to get pushback from CNN panelists? Just ask them how former President Bill Clinton has avoided being “canceled” in the #MeToo era. Conservative Scott Jennings tried asking that Tuesday and was quickly brushed aside.
The incident began when CNN's Van Jones and former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm showered Clinton with praise, prompting a rebuke from Jennings, who served in former President George W. Bush’s administration.

“I have to say ... I am dumbfounded by this," Jennings said. "How is it that Bill Clinton has not been canceled by the Democratic -- how has he survived all of these waves of cancellations when he has been one of the biggest violators of these rules all these years?"
"We believe in redemption, brother," Jones responded.
"We talk about the use of character to try and say 'Donald Trump is a man of lower character than Joe Biden' ... he's fair game. That's totally fine," Jennings continued. "So you're gonna say that in one breath and then say, 'Character matters. Ladies and gentlemen, Bill Clinton!'?
"I mean, does this make sense to anyone?" Jennings continued. "If you want Republicans to vote for Joe Biden, having Bill Clinton talk about character and not hav[ing] drama in the Oval Office - is that the right answer?" CLICK HERE FOR MORE.
