Abby Phillip Hilariously Tries For Straight Answer Out Of Squirrelly Scott Jennings
HuffPost
"I'm going to give you a third try on this one," the CNN host said to the GOP pundit as they sparred over Trump.
CNN host Abby Phillip repeatedly tried to pry a straight answer out of GOP pundit Scott Jennings on Tuesday, prompting an exchange that bordered on the comical. (Watch the video below.)
“I’m going to give you a third try on this one,” an exasperated Phillip said at one point.
The subject was President Donald Trump’s influence on the Federal Reserve. Trump called Chair Jerome Powell “a major loser,” prompting another selloff after Trump’s trade war sank markets and eroded trust in U.S. finance. He reportedly considered firing Powell but Trump then said he had “no intention” of doing so. However, he said, he would like Powell to be “a little more active” on cutting interest rates.
“Do you agree or disagree that the Fed should be independent?” Phillip asked.
Jennings: “I think the president should be able to render an opinion about monetary policy.”
