CNN host Abby Phillip has completely ended with patience with his magic lady Scott Jennings through a tense segment of Linda McMahon, a secretary of education.
Trump’s administration has ordered Harvard to eliminate all the hiring and acceptance practice, which “acts as an ideological lithm tests”. At the meeting of the Chamber’s Education and Labor Committee, a spokesman Mark Takan asked McMahon, whether Harvard’s hypothetical refusal to hire a denial of the Holocaust “considered an ideological Litmus test”.
“I think there should be a variety of views on training and opinions about the cities of the university,” said McMahon.
On Wednesday News NightThe panel quickly descended into chaos, watching McMahon’s response footage. “Looking at the Holocaust of denial?” Phillip said he was surprised by the response to McMahon’s response.
“It’s not what she said,” Jennings replied immediately. “This is not what happened there.”
Phillip patiently read a copy of the question and McMahon’s answer when Jennings sat down with his head shaking. Jennings insisted that McMahon not actually answered what he considered to be Takan’s “obviously funny question”.
“Why couldn’t she answer this question on Earth?” Phillip asked when FRO has already become small.

Phillip repeatedly pressed Jennings and GOP strategist Brad Todd, who accepted Jennings into an argument to respond.
“If someone comes and says, ‘I don’t believe that the Holocaust has actually happened,” will the federal government lower the hammer at universities say, “This is not the attitude we spend in our towns?” Phillip asked. “The answer should be ‘no’, but none of them seem to want to answer.”
Then the tension quickly boiled when Jennings claimed at the same time that the commission accused McMahon of being a denying Holocaust and proclaiming, “It is horrible!”
“Oh, please Scott, keep a second,” said Phillip, who apparently annoyed, adding, “Forgive, Scott. No one has blamed it as a Holocaust denying.”

“You mean that exactly she wants!” Jennings replied.
“You are not at all different to sit at this table and say that we have accused her of the Holocaust,” Phillip said. “No one – absolutely no one said it. It’s rude, disrespectful and wrong.”
Todd gathered for Jennings’s defense again, claiming that it was Takan McMahon to ask the “rude” question. Phillip replied, stating that Takano also asked whether Harvard would be forced to hire election denial in accordance with the rules of the Trump administration Litmus Test.
After Todd began to answer by asking a different question, Phillip was enough.
“It is very clear that none of you want to answer a very simple question …” said Phillip, stating Jennings and Todd. Jennings interrupted saying, “So are you blaming us now?”
“Do you blame us?” Jennings continued, a mocking smile. “Go ahead and do!”
Unprotected, Phillip pressed his question.
“Is Harvard allowed, or is the school allowed to say that these are facts, and if you do not believe in facts, you cannot teach here”? she said. “Are they allowed to do so?”
“The question is what the Litmus test is today …” Jennings replied, prompting them to immediately reproach Phillip.
“Scott, don’t answer my question with the question,” she said. “When you answer my question with the question, you avoid. So answer the question!”
He claimed that Takan asked a “ruthless question” to provoke “Gotcha moment”.
“It is greatly said that you are unable to or want to even entertain the answer,” Phillip replied.
Todd then saved him, finally making a certain answer. “Harvard has the right to perform any Litmus test they want for their faculty, they are a private institution,” he said.
“Well, there is the answer to your question,” Phillip said, shooting Jennings’ gaze, “Thank you, Brad. I appreciate it.”
