  "account": "During the final segment of CNN’s “NewsNight” on Wednesday night, panelists confronted Scott Jennings for his reluctance to condemn President Trump’s sexist remarks as vehemently as he had criticized Senator Jon Ossoff for his disparaging comments about White House aide Natalie Harp. At a rally on Sunday, Ossoff disparaged Trump, saying, “He golfs and trades stocks. He doesn’t want to do the job; he wants to build his ballroom and travel with Natalie to their apparently defenseless flying palace gifted by the Emir of Qatar.” Ossoff’s remarks drew backlash from both liberals and conservatives. Jennings, rumored to be a potential White House Press Secretary, joined the criticism on “NewsNight,” asserting that Democrats running for president should also attack Trump, but emphasized the distinction that Harp is not a public figure and is “defenseless.” However, his peers swiftly disagreed. Dan Abrams stated that those who oppose Ossoff’s comments must also hold Trump accountable. “If you’re going to take that position, you better also be criticizing the way Donald Trump talks about women,” Abrams argued, prompting a montage of Trump’s sexist comments against various women. Rep. Jared Moskowitz then noted that Trump has shattered all norms of public conduct, labeling him “the king of trolls.” Jennings questioned whether Harp was a “troll,” to which Moskowitz responded that Trump is the true troll. Jennings argued that the issue lies in insulting a defenseless woman, but was retorted by Keith Boykin, “You are not answering the question! You’re avoiding the question again.” Jennings eventually conceded, “By the way, you have no idea how dishonest you are.”",
