Jennings to CNN Panel Defending Palestinian Immigrant Activist: ‘Saying ‘Eradicate Western Civilization’ Doesn’t Make You a Radical?’

‘He is obviously obviously a radical who is here to foment violence... ‘
By Grabien Staff

EXCERPT:

JENNINGS: "His organization says, 'We are dedicated fighting for the total eradication of Western civilization.'"

PHILLIP: "Okay."

JENNINGS: "He's not a citizen. He doesn't need to be here."

PHILLIP: "I don't want to — I don't want to move on."

NAVARRO: "In my — in my view, it was a failure by Columbia University. They could have expelled him. They could have banned him from campus, and they should have, if he violated their policy. Look, every student has a right to attend school without fear of intimidation, right? But what we are doing here with this -- the message that this is sending is a message to scare anybody from protesting."

BLAKEMAN: "No, that's absolutely wrong."

PHILLIP: "And Scott, you just described him having viewpoints that you disagree with. Again, is that enough to have someone lose their rights in this country?"

JENNINGS: "He has viewpoints that, in my opinion, jeopardize the security of the United States."

PHILLIP: "How? But how?"

JENNINGS: "He is — he is obviously — obviously a radical who is here to foment — "

LATHAN: "No, he's not a radical at all."

PHILLIP: "So, has he committed — has he committed violence against the United States government, Scott?

JENNINGS: "You're saying eradicate -- "

BLAKEMAN: "He wants to destroy Western civilization.

JENNINGS: " — Western civilization doesn't make you a radical?"
