Moment CNN panel goes out of control after comment on why Kamala Harris chose Tim Walz over Josh Shapiro for vice president

A CNN panel erupted into a heated debate following a comment about why Vice President Kamala Harris chose Tim Walz over Josh Shapiro to be her running mate.

Scott Jennings, a former staffer for former President George W. Bush, sparked a frenzied back-and-forth among the other speakers when he made a shocking claim about Harris.

The conservative pundit claimed that Harris deflected Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro due to alleged anti-Semitism, in CNN.

Jennings criticized Harris for choosing Walz and said he felt the Minnesota governor was not a strong choice.

“Kamala Harris bowed completely to the radical left of her party by not choosing Shapiro, who is Jewish,” he said.

“There was a nasty campaign against him.”

“She ended up choosing the person who wasn’t Jewish, didn’t have that much talent and wasn’t from the state she needed to win,” he also stated.

Jennings then stated that the Democratic Party was “somewhat awash in anti-Semitism.”

Pundits then engaged in a heated debate over Walz’s leadership in Minnesota and abortion.

Contributor Ashley Allison responded to Jennings for her comments.

“One of the big issues in this election is a woman’s right to choose and guess what? Kamala Harris had to make a choice and who would be her running mate,” she said.

“You can’t tell her who to run away with,” Allison added.

Barack Obama’s former advisor, David Axelrod, then interrupted to say that he didn’t like seeing anti-Semitism exploited.

“Anti-Semitism is something many of us face in different ways, and my family has faced it as well,” he added.

Allison and Jennings then changed the subject to talk about January 6th.

“You know what was radical, sending troops to clear the protesters in front of the White House so Donald Trump could take a photo,” Allison said.

Jennings fired back at Allison with an attack on Walz during the 2020 Black Lives Matter protests in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

“There should have been troops on the streets of Minneapolis immediately. It was completely on fire,” said the conservative expert.

Walz was just over a year into his term as governor when protests took hold in Minneapolis.

Walz has now been criticized for waiting to deploy the Minnesota National Guard.

At the time, Walz took responsibility for the delay and mobilized the National Guard three days after protests turned violent.

Although Shapiro was not chosen as Harris’ running mate, he supported Walz during the ticket’s first joint campaign rally in Philadelphia.

Shapiro introduced Walz and Harris at the rally and promised to help the ticket get elected in November.

He also released a statement shortly after the news broke on Tuesday morning.

“Pennsylvanians elected me to a four-year term as their governor, and my work here is far from over – there is so much more I want to do for our Commonwealth,” he wrote.

Shapiro added that Walz was an “exceptionally strong addition to the ticket who will help Kamala move our country forward.”

Walz and Harris are expected to continue campaigning in swing states ahead of the Democratic National Convention, which begins Aug. 19 in Chicago.
