DAILY CALLER NEWS FOUNDATION—Republican strategist Scott Jennings told a CNN panel Monday that many Black Lives Matter rioters avoided punishment in 2020 after liberal commentators complained about pardons President Donald Trump issued to participants of the riot at the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021.
Trump issued a blanket pardon Monday to more than 1,500 people convicted of crimes surrounding the storming of the Capitol building during the certification of the electoral votes on Jan. 6, 2021. Jennings reminded former Obama administration officials David Axelrod and Van Jones, who claimed the Jan. 6 rioters received insufficient punishment, that many of the participants in the Capitol riot had their lives “ruined,” but many of the Black Lives Matter rioters escaped punishment.
“Here is what I think. Were these people punished? Yes. Were they ruined financially? Yes. Did they spend time in jail? Yes. Have their lives been ruined? Absolutely,” Jennings said. “And one of you said earlier, Van or Ax, that you think this sends a terrible signal you can get away with things like this. As though we‘ve never had a moment in recent American history when people were not punished for rampaging around when it shouldn’t have been. It was in summer of 2020.”

The riots that followed the death of George Floyd in police custody in May 2020 killed at least 24 people and caused nearly $1 billion in property damage.
“I do see it differently in that I don’t like it when people tear up buildings at all. I’m not a part of some pro-riot, pro-crime lobby,” Jones said after a back-and-forth with Jennings. “But I really don’t like when people attack police officers. I really don’t like it at all. I’m the son of a police officer. My uncle is a police officer. I don’t like it at all. If you attack a police officer, before you get any lenience, before you get any support from this society, you should apologize and they didn’t. That‘s wrong. And you yourself and others said you would have a problem if the violent ones were let go.”
Then-House Speaker Kevin McCarthy provided then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson, a co-founder of the Daily Caller and Daily Caller News Foundation, access to over 41,000 hours of video footage of the Capitol riot, Axios reported. Video Carlson aired showed Capitol Police officers escorting one protestor, Jacob Chansley, also known as the “QAnon shaman,” through the halls of the building.
“I do think it’s important to note that these people, whatever they did, whether it was just accidentally walking in or doing something much, much worse, Elliott, you can correct me if I’m wrong, most of them, if not all of them, did get punished, served some kind of time, and my assumption is virtually all of them had their lives effectively ruined,” Jennings said after a further back-and-forth with Jones.

1) Notice that in the above, the original article on the Daily Signal used an embed code from Rumble, which regrettably doesn't display properly on the Patch. Thus the video from YouTube above was substituted. The video link from Rumble used by the Daily Caller and Daily Signal is provided below.
2) According to left-leaning Wikipedia, Scott Jennings bio in brief includes the following.
"Jennings is a founding partner of RunSwitch Public Relations,[4] Kentucky's largest public relations firm, since 2013.[5] He has been writing a regular column for the Louisville Courier-Journal[6] since 2013, and was signed as an on-air contributor by CNN in 2017.[7] He is routinely cited as an adviser to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell,[2] and was part of McConnell's campaigns for the U.S. Senate in 2002, 2008, and 2014. He joined the Los Angeles Times as a columnist in 2019. ...
After leaving the [Bush] White House, Jennings became Director of Strategic Development and Senior Strategist for Peritus Public Relations[9] in Louisville, Kentucky, before co-founding RunSwitch PR in Louisville in 2012. Jennings is frequently quoted by media outlets as a political analyst. During the 2016 presidential election, he appeared frequently on the Fox News Channel and other outlets as a commentator discussing polling and the political news of the day.
In 2017, Jennings joined CNN[10] as an on-air contributor. He has made hundreds of appearances on the network on AC360 with Anderson Cooper, The Lead with Jake Tapper, CNN Tonight with Don Lemon, and other programs."
3) Jennings said the following earlier this week per Real Clear Politics about the President of the United States (POTUS) Trump Inaugural Address.
“I thought this was an incredible speech, honestly, and truly watching Donald Trump indict these gangsters to their faces while they had to sit right in front of him in that intimate setting in the rotunda for Republicans was remarkable. They had to sit there and take it just minutes after Biden, who we’re looking at here, pardoned his entire family. I mean, it was glorious. By the way, I love the rotunda setting. I thought it was regal. I thought it was awesome. …”
4) Jennings wasn't alone among conservative commentators in making that kind of observation as the Masthead on Manufactured Home Pro News recently observed. Right-leaning
Breitbart Editor Alex Marlow said the following earlier this week.
“He [POTUS Trump in his inaugural address] called out all the bad guys right to their faces. They were all sitting there. Bush was there, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, all of them were there.”
5) Perhaps included among those "bad guys" Marlow alluded to was prior supporters of Joe Biden (D) and Barack Obama (D). Meaning, some of the billionaire class that included, per left-leaning Reuters, the following.
META CEO MARK ZUCKERBERG
AMAZON CHAIRMAN JEFF BEZOS
GOOGLE CEO SUNDAR PICHAI
Apple's Tim Cook was also spotted in the videos of the event.
Note those are among the billionaires who curiously were called out, by implication, by Joe Biden. in his farewell address. Apparently, it is OK for billionaires who back Biden, Kamala Harris (D), or other Democrats, but it isn't okay if they support even modestly or in a token way POTUS Trump?

6) A flurry of executive orders (EOs) were signed by President Trump on "day one." According to the left-leaning The American Prospect (TAP) one of those orders removed about 42 percent of all Biden-era EOs.
"The first order signed on Monday was really 80 orders in one. Trump rescinded executive orders, memoranda, and proclamations spanning the length of Biden’s presidency, including one issued just three days earlier. In all, Trump rescinded 42.4 percent of all the EOs Biden signed during his term. And he reserved the right to rescind future orders recommended by his team within the next 45 days."
7) Trump and his nominees for federal positions promise to remake the federal government to serve the American people. Time will tell, of course, how that effort goes.

8) Among the chilling yet hopeful observations made last week by Trump's HUD Secretary Nominee E. Scott Turner was his statement that HUD is failing in its mission. Turner said: 'We’re not building enough housing. We need millions of homes of all kinds, single family, apartments, manufactured homes'

9) Four years of Biden-Harris (D) resulted in record numbers of homelessness, per HUD's own reporting.
