On CNN's Anderson Cooper 360, senior political commentator Scott Jennings slammed President Joe Biden over his reportedly mishandling classified documents at his private office at the Penn Biden Center in Washington D.C. What made this revelation especially rich was the fact that Biden was so outraged at former President Trump allegedly having documents marked classified at his home in Mar-a-Lago. Jennings even got in a Michael Scott reference during his Monday night appearance.
When discussing the news that broke earlier in the evening that Biden had classified documents at his office unattended, Cooper turned to Jennings and asked "how do you see this being handled by Republicans in Capitol Hill?"
From there Jennings reveled in the irony and hypocrisy of Biden's recklessness: "I think every Republican in the capitol is feeling like the Michael Scott Paper Company sauntering back into Dunder Mifflin tonight. Well, well, well, how the turntables," Jennings said in a hilarious reference to Michael Scott's famous line in The Office.
"The political usefulness of this for the Republicans, as people attack Donald Trump about his issues. I get it and they're not the same. And yes, there will be conflation here. But the political usefulness of this cannot be underscored, cannot be overstated enough," Jennings said with glee.
Jennings continued: "to give Republicans this talking point for the rest of their natural lives almost exonerates Trump in terms of debates and what comes up. I mean, if this ever comes up and somebody brings it up, you're always gonna have this retort."
"Everybody in politics is laughing their rear end off tonight that this happened to Joe Biden given how strident his commentary was in attacking Donald Trump about this in the first place. So, yeah, it's a big deal politically," Jennings added.
You could see how irritated Anderson Cooper and the other leftists on the panel were as Jennings was mocking Biden. It was quite enjoyable watching them sit there and take it.

9:24:23 p.m. EasternANDERSON COOPER: Scott, how do you see this being handled by Republicans in capitol hill?
SCOTT JENNINGS: Yeah, I think every Republican in the capitol is feeling like the Michael Scott Paper Company sauntering back into Dunder Mifflin tonight. Well, well, well, how the turntables. I mean, Dana had it exactly right. The political usefulness of this for the Republicans, as people attack Donald Trump about his issues. I get it and they're not the same. And yes, there will be conflation here.
But the political usefulness of this cannot be underscored, cannot be overstated enough. I mean, to give Republicans this talking point for the rest of their natural lives almost exonerates Trump in terms of debates and what comes up. I mean, if this ever comes up and somebody brings it up, you're always gonna have this retort. By the way, everybody in politics is laughing their rear end off tonight that this happened to Joe Biden given how strident his commentary was in attacking Donald Trump about this in the first place. So, yeah, it's a big deal politically.
