CNN's Scott Jennings: 'Jimmy Carter Was Anti-Semitic'

CNN MAGA contributor Scott Jennings lowered the bar of decency after the passing of President Jimmy Carter. Jennings did the job CNN pays him to do, when he claimed the former president dabbled in anti-Semitism and sidled up to dictators.

Donald Trump sends love letters to dictators and has meddled in US foreign policy throughout Russia's immoral attack against Ukraine. To Jennings, since Trump did it, he's a hero.

Jimmy Carter helped broker the peace between Israel and Egypt, and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2002 for his humanitarian work, but Jennings wasted no time in smearing his name a day after he died at 100.

JENNINGS: That having been said, he was a terrible president.

That's why he lost in a landslide after his one term.

And if it's possible, I think he was even a worse ex-president because of his meddling in US foreign policy, because of his saddling up to dictators around the world, because of his vehement views, anti-Israel views, and more than dabbling in anti-Semitism over the years.

He often vexed Democrats. Obama didn't even have him speak at his 08 convention.

He put Bill Clinton in a terrible foreign policy box on a North Korea nuclear issue.

Russians Share Video Of Missile Taking Down Santa Claus

A Russian propaganda video has their version of Santa Claus, a Father Christmas figure, gloating as a Russian missile takes out Santa Claus. Especially sick, since it was released just days after the Russians took down an Azerbaijani passenger plane over Kazakhstan, killing many onboard. Ironically, all passengers were Russian citizens. Putin apologized for the "mishap."

Pro-Kremlin Telegram channels on Friday circulated a New Year’s video depicting Russian air defense systems shooting down Santa Claus’ reindeer sleigh.

The video, first shared by the Pul N3 Telegram channel, begins with Santa flying over central Moscow to the tune of “We Wish You a Merry Christmas.”

“Hi, Russians! Here are your presents,” says Santa Claus, sipping a Coca-Cola as the camera zooms in on his sleigh, which is loaded with rockets bearing NATO logos.

“Happy New Year,” Santa says before a missile shoots into his sleigh, causing it to explode mid-air.

The scene then shifts to a military control room where a Russian serviceman and Ded Moroz — Russia’s version of Santa Claus — monitor the action on a screen as a traditional Russian folk tune plays.

“Is it done?” Ded Moroz asks the headset-wearing serviceman.
