Scott Jennings <\/b><\/a>got into a heated debate during the Thursday, April 30, broadcast of CNN NewsNight.<\/i><\/p>\n

Jennings, 48, and his fellow panelists spoke about the ongoing Iran conflict on Thursday\u2019s episode<\/span><\/a>, in which the former political staffer disagreed with his counterparts about the war.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you get up past your bedtime, you get hyper,\u201d he told progressive commentator Adam Mockler<\/b>, who asked Jennings to name \u201ca single concession\u201d the United States received from Iran since the dispute began.<\/p>\n

Mockler, 23, later responded to Jennings\u2019 jabs<\/a> and defense of the political conflict.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tMegyn Kelly was not pleased to hear Elisabeth Hasselbeck\u2019s criticism of her views on the current war in Iran on The View. \u201cElisabeth was too weak to handle the ladies of The View and even the morning set on Fox and Friends,\u201d Kelly, 55, told the Daily Mail on Tuesday, March 3. \u201cShe ran from [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cWe all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with letters \u2018I-r-a\u2019 that we are currently failing, that is going to put us trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt,\u201d Mockler retorted. \u201cI was only a few years old while you were in the administration defending prior endless wars. Now, this war is failing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEight weeks is endless to you?\u201d Jennings responded. \u201cYou have the attention span of a gnat?\u201d<\/p>\n

Mockler further alleged that Jennings was only \u201cmaking condescending remarks\u201d because the war wasn\u2019t going his way.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Not going your way?\u2019 Get your f***ing hand out of my face first,\u201d Jennings told Mockler, who had been pointing his fingers in the air. \u201cHonestly, I\u2019m not going to have this guy\u2019s hand in my face. Honestly.\u201d<\/p>\n
