Former CNN journalist Jim Acosta demanded the firing of his former colleague Scott Jennings, condemning his expletive-laced on-air brawl with a fellow panelist as a breach of professional standards.<\/p>\n
“It\u2019s appalling and it\u2019s a fireable offense. I think he should be fired. I\u2019ve been saying for some time. He should be fired,” he said on \u00a0Friday\u2019s episode\u00a0of\u00a0“The Jim Acosta Show<\/i>.”<\/p>\n
Jennings\u2019 fiery exchange unfolded Thursday on “CNN NewsNight with Abby Phillip,”\u00a0where he clashed with MeidasTouch influencer Adam Mockler over the U.S.\u2019 posture in the Iran War.<\/p>\n
“We all know that Scott Jennings is more than happy to defend a war with a country that starts with letters I-r-a that we are currently failing, that is going to put us trillions and trillions of dollars more in debt,” Mockler said.<\/p>\n
