“I trace it back further than that, Scott,” countered Taylor. “I trace it back to 10 years ago, when you said Donald Trump was an authoritarian. And you know what, Scott? I’ve got to hand it to you, that was a remarkable forecast. Because 10 years later, I think you called it.”

“Here’s Donald Trump today, the man with the heart and soul of a fascist, showing us he now has the bona fides by tonight ordering investigations into American citizens,” Taylor continued. “That’s why members of his administration … have turned against him.”

Jennings described Trump as an “authoritarian” in a 2016 opinion column in the Louisville Courier-Journal. He also said live on CNN after the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riots that Trump “clearly violated his oath of office to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution.”

Jennings added that the riots were “an insurrection” that “should be labeled as such.”

“Why are you so upset he is running the executive branch?” Jennings asked Taylor, who fired back, “For the same reasons you predicted he shouldn’t, for the same reasons, Scott, you said that he violated his oath and he should never be back in that office.”

He reiterated, “That’s why I’m upset for the man being in the Oval Office.”

Jennings said he “happily” voted for Trump three times while Taylor was “trying to subvert the elected president of the United States,” which Taylor said he “proudly” did, and then wished the former official “good luck” with the DOJ investigation.

Jennings said earlier in the show that “the fastest way” to get on television as a Republican is to “crap” on the president.
