A segment from CNN’s “NewsNight with Abby Phillip” on Wednesday evening seemed to get tense after conservative commentator Scott Jennings threw an insult at fellow panelist Keith Boykin, a former White House aide to President Bill Clinton.
During a discussion about Columbia University’s announcement that it had reached a deal with the Trump administration on Wednesday to pay more than $220 million to restore federal research money, Boykin called out Jennings for interrupting Republican commentator Ana Navarro, who was commenting on the agreement.
“Do you have to interrupt every conversation? Do you have to be a part of every conversation?” Boykin asked.
“You’re such a whiny [inaudible],” Jennings replied.
“A whiny what, Scott? Say it, Scott ... say it, Scott, ” Boykin responded. (Watch the moment here.)
