WASHINGTON, DC: Political commentator and CNN contributor Scott Jennings left Kaitlan Collins completely silenced on live television as he blasted Democrats for melting down over President Donald Trump’s AI-generated video amid the "No Kings" rally.

The POTUS shared an AI-generated video of himself soaring through the skies and dropping a load on liberal influencer Harry Sisson as America was gripped by massive "No Kings" protests.

Scott Jennings says 'we don’t have a monarchy in this country'

During an interview with CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Tuesday, October 21, the host asked Scott Jennings about his take on the president's AI-generated clip.

"Why shouldn’t the president use a made-up video to respond to a rally with a made-up reason?" the political commentator said.

He added, "We don’t have a monarchy in this country. We have a presidency, won by Donald Trump. We have a democracy. People voted and they elected the president and the only thing they are mad about is that he is lawfully enforcing laws that have been on the books for a long time."



"He made up a video, they made up a reason to have a rally, and I think it was kind of funny, to be honest with you," Jennings concluded.

Posted on Truth Social, Trump's bizarre clip shows "King Trump" in full fighter pilot gear, launching off in a jet and releasing what looked suspiciously like mud and feces over protesters.

The 19-second clip ends with the POTUS gleefully pelting the anti-Trump "No Kings" protesters and left-wing firebrand Harry Sisson.

This past weekend, CNN reported that the protest marked the third mass mobilization since Trump’s return to the Oval Office and unfolded amid an ongoing government shutdown.

Jamie Raskin calls 'No Kings' protest positive despite death threats to Trump

Democratic Rep Jamie Raskin portrayed a positive picture of the "No Kings" protests during an MSNBC appearance on Monday, October 20.

He claimed during the interview that the protesters were “positive” and patriotic”, completely ignoring death threats to prominent conservatives, including President Donald Trump.

"It was, of course, totally positive, totally patriotic, and totally supportive of us getting the American government back in business again, reopening and supporting the health care of the American people and supporting the federal workforce," Raskin said.



He added, "And you know, I kicked off by saying that Speaker Mike Johnson was talking about a 'Hate America' rally, but that one had already taken place on January 6, 2021, when Trump incited a mob of insurrectionists who violently assaulted our police officers, wounding and injuring more than 140 of them in order to overturn a presidential election he lost by more than 7 million votes. That’s what a 'Hate America' rally looks like."

Moreover, he mentioned, "This is what a ‘Love America’ movement looks like. And that’s why they’ve been trashing it for weeks now, because they know that millions of Americans are standing up against their authoritarianism."

Meanwhile, dozens of protests against the President took place on Saturday, October 18, with prominent Trump critic George Conway seen wearing a T-shirt proclaiming himself as a member of Antifa during one event.
