'NO PRESIDENT ENCOURAGED VIOLENCE LIKE TRUMP': Keith Boykin DESTROYS Scott Jennings on CNN

[00:00:00]We've passed the point of no return with  Donald Trump. And if we don't call him out for his responsible activity activities in  encouraging this, we're we're responsible as well. Do you have any comment on Do you have any  comment on the actual news story? I just said, "I condemn political violence in all situations."  You did. Keith Boyin put smug MAGAN Scott Jennings in his place on Abby Phillips show this time  over the crimes of ICE. We're going to take a look at clips of yet another heated panel on  Abby Phillips show with Sarah Seidner filling in. It's delicious to see Keith Boyin hammering  Scott Jennings. I want to share my thoughts as well. Let's get into it together. A 43-year-old  Army veteran is in custody accused of throwing an incendiary device at a federal building that  houses offices for Immigration and Customs Enforcement in New York City. Now, you can see  the moment that authorities say Andrew Arbaka threw the gasoline near the building. You see  him throwing it there before lighting it on fire.

[00:00:56]Officials say the suspect had two axes, a hammer,  a machete, and three knives, and a sign that read, quote, "Ice off our streets." The FBI warned  he quote came armed with bad intentions. The White House borders are refused to comment on the  investigation as it is ongoing, telling reporters he would let the investigation play out, but he  did talk about who he thinks is partly to blame anyway, naming leftist politics for the current  climate surrounding immigration enforcement.

[00:01:21]what happened in front of the federal building is  another example of attacking ICE. And I'm sure if you ask that person why he did it, he should  repeat the talking points I just said that you hear from Democratic members of Congress, the  Democratic mayors and governors who simply want ICE to go away. Unless they keep attacking and  and and miscommunicating what ICE does every day, calling them Nazis and comparing ICE to the Nazi  regime. Are you kidding me? And for any member of Congress to keep attacking ICE and calling them  fascists and Nazis, I said that thousand times. If they're a Nazi enforcing the law, what what what's  that make them? They wrote the law. Now, before we open it up to the table here, we invite you at  home to join this debate. Head to cnn.com/aby and weigh in. We'll get to some of your comments  throughout the show. Scott, I'm going to start with you. Words do matter. So do actions, right?  I think we've talked about this before with, you know, Republicans saying things, Democrats  saying things, and then there's the actions of ICE as well. When you look at this, do you agree with  H Homeman that this is something that is because of Democrats or is this a single guy who decided  to do something that was illegal? Of course, I agree with Hman and it's not a single guy. This  is another in a long string of attacks on ICE personnel, ICE facilities. There's been a massive  spike in violence against ICE agents, really against all law enforcement, specifically federal  law enforcement out there. So, I think Mr. Hman is is absolutely correct. Uh, and I think you've got  members of Congress, the mayor of New York City, uh, governors, as Holman said, all sorts of people  out there who are using language, uh, that would lead someone to go do these kinds of things. It's  despicable. These people are effectively political vigilantes. They've been programmed by the left to  go out and take matters into their own hands, and it ought to be stopped right now. I noticed Manny  today, you know, put out a statement saying, "This is bad. We're going to cooperate." You know, this  is the same guy who has said some of the worst things about ICE, who says he wants to defund the  police uh and makes a lot of anti-law enforcement rhetoric a staple of his political movement. I  don't know how you can reconcile those positions.

[00:03:16]And I don't suppose they'll even try. But I think  Holman's right. But is it possible that is the actions of ICE that have people talking like this?  Not just getting messaging from the Democrats, but seeing what's happening in their communities. So,  if you believe that a government agency is doing something that you don't like and your choices are  A, cast a vote, B, use your words, or C, go set off an incendiary device at the federal building  in New York City and you pick C. There is no justification for this. There's no rationalization  of it. And that's patently ridiculous. That what's is what anybody's going to argue tonight. Keith,  how do you Let's take Scott's scenario. If you believe a government agency is doing something  wrong, do you use your vote? Do you use your words? Or do you resort to violence? And one very  clear example, the president of the United States, Donald Trump, implicitly encouraged people to  resort to violence. That was the January 6th insurrection. He didn't tell people, "Your vote  was enough. The 80something lawsuits that we filed were enough." He didn't tell people, "And we're  just going to settle this in sort of a peaceful way." He actually encouraged people to walk from  the ellipse to the capital not knowing what was h what might happen and knowing that these people  were armed and violent. This guy Donald Trump is responsible for some of the worst most incinerior  and most politically violent rhetoric in our country. So I don't accept this this statement  from Scott at all. Violence, political violence is wrong whether it's left or right. The problem is  I don't know any president on the Democratic side in my lifetime who's ever encouraged political  violence. In fact, I don't know any Republican president in my lifetime who's ever encouraged  political violence until Donald Trump. We have crossed the the proverbial standard here. We've  passed the point of no return with Donald Trump.

[00:04:58]And if we don't call him out for his responsible  activity activities in encouraging this, we're we're responsible as well. Do you have any comment  on Do you have any comment on the actual news story? I just said I condemn political violence  in all situations. What you did is you took this situation and you agreed with Tom Coleman and  talking point somehow. This is a Democratic case.

[00:05:17]But the reality is the studies have shown that in  the past decade or so 112 of the past rightwing of the 112 right-wing murders have taken place  only 13 have taken place from the left. You don't have any comment on this? No, I I just told what  else what else is there to say except I condemn it. Scott, you want me to say more than that?  What else? You don't say you haven't said yet what you said about Donald Trump, the January  6th insurrection. What about people? The fact the fact that he actually tried to create a $ 1.8  billion fund to support those people on the record about political violence. How about condemning?  I love this from Keith Boyin here spitting facts as Scott Jennings sits there with his smug look  on his face. Scott Jennings says to Keith Boyin, "You have any comments on this story?" Scott  Jennings is the guy who every single night that he's on Abby Phillips show. It doesn't matter what  the story is, what the topic is, what somebody on the left or the Democrat or the liberal is saying  about Donald Trump. Scott Jennings response is, "Yeah, but what about Biden?" "Yeah, but what  about the Democrats?" It's rich for this scumbag, Scott Jennings, to be like, "Can't you stay on  topic when he's the guy who does nothing but say, "Yeah, but what about the Democrats?" And  Scott Jennings throws out the standard BS of all violence is up against law enforcements law  enforcement officers. Last year in 2025, 109 law enforcement officers died on duty. Most of those  were not in cases of violence perpetrated against them. Most were car accidents. That's how most  police officers die. but 109 compared to 1975 when there were 240 officers die on duty in a country  with a much smaller population in 1975. But again, it's another myth. It's propaganda from the magons  like Scott Jennings. And one more thing, Keith Boyin really points out the difference here in my  opinion between the left and the right where Keith Boyin is denouncing all violence. Doesn't matter  whether somebody on the left per perpetrated it or somebody on the right perpetrated it. Scott  Jennings can't do that. He can only denounce the left. Scott Jennings is never going to denounce  violence committed by the right, which is much more than the left. And Scott Jennings is never  going to denounce his god king Donald Trump. Let's see a bit more of Scott Jennings here. The reason  why Democrats did not do anything about that is because your President Donald Trump told them not  to. They had a bipartisan immigration bill and Donald Trump called up the United States senators  and said, "Do not pass that bill." I'm talking about the law. I'm talking about immigration  enforcement. You said, "Why didn't Democrats do something about all the immigrants coming in?"  They tried to do something and Donald Trump said, "Don't do it." As far as as far as reforming or  reforming or limiting ICE, Democrats are taking action right now. They're sending a letter.  First of all, not that that's enough. Stop the illegal but but 10 10 people 10 people have been  killed by ICE since this year ICE in the past year since Donald Trump took office. That didn't happen  under Let me make sure I understand this deranged uh anti-IC leftist tries to blow up the federal  office in New York today and that's Donald Trump's fault. Joe Biden, you just gave a long speech  about it. Here we go. Scott Jennings who's just saying, "Hey, can't you stay on subject? Don't you  have a comment on this story to Keith Boyin? And here Scott Jennings goes with his Yeah, but what  about Biden BS? Just like clockwork. Never said that word I said. Did you? No one said that. Joe  Biden Joe Biden doesn't enforce immigration laws and that's Donald Trump's fault. I I'm trying to  identify the end of the choose your own adventure book where it doesn't end with it's Donald Trump's  fault. Stephen is right. They did not enforce the law. And you know who will tell you that? Anybody  that works for ICE today will tell you when they were working there under Biden, they were told  not to enforce immigration law. We haven't passed any new laws. And today, today we had the 14th  straight month of no releases at the border. The border is closed. Not a single new law was passed.  The only difference is the feds are enforcing long-standing existing law. And you have Democrats  now demonizing the people enforcing it. And you have people like this lunatic showing up trying to  blow up the federal building. Nobody's supporting this guy who who who did the fire bombing at  the at the im at the federal building today. So, let's get that clear. What we are saying is that  if you're going to condemn political violence, at least be consistent because the top purveyor  of political violence in our country is Donald Trump. Let me just You You mentioned something,  Christina. And that's a mic drop moment from Keith Boyin there. The number one purveyor  of political violence in the United States is Donald Trump. And what does Scott Jennings do?  He just gives his smirk, looks in the c camera, and takes a drink because Scott Jennings knows  he has no response to that other than, "Yeah, but what about Biden?" That's all he has. Scott  Jennings has no legitimate political points. He has no policies that the American people agree  with and everything is projection with MAGA and Donald Trump. All of their claims about all of  the violence of the left. It's just projection because we all know that it's the right who is  committing most of these violent acts. And Keith Boyin points out 10 people killed by ICE. There  should be zero people killed by ICE. And the thing about it is we've not seen one of these instances  where the person that the ICE agent or ICE agents, these ICE Gestapo thugs killed, murdered,  was any kind of a violent criminal. So, it really is propaganda on the part of Scott  Jennings to claim that the left is violent and politicians on the left are calling for violence.  Like Mom Donnie, he's not calling for violence.

[00:10:45]But we know that Donald Trump is. Keith Boyin  pointed that out on Abby Phillips show and Scott Jennings is never going to admit the truth. But  let me know what you think in the comments. Do you think this is the truth? Do you agree with  me that and Ke Keith Boyin that Donald Trump maybe the figure most responsible for political  violence ever in the history of the country? At least the modern history of the country. Or  do you agree with Scott Jennings and say, "Yeah, but what about Biden?" and blame the  Democrats for everything. Let me know what you think about this heated panel on Abby Phelps  Show. Make sure to give me a like and subscribe.
