Social media host Leigh McGowan cut off pro-Trump CNN analyst Scott Jennings mid-sentence as he slammed Vice President Kamala Harris, telling him “You’re just lying!”

The 10pm hour on CNN has become something of an intermittent fireworks factory fire, most spectacularly with the permanent banning of a guest who made a literally explosive joke about Mehdi Hasan.

On Tuesday night’s edition of CNN NewsNight, things were cracking again as McGowan scolded Jennings in one segment over his “smug” look and defense of former President Donald Trump.

Seconds later, McGowan jumped all over Jennings again to accuse him of lying:

PHILLIP: Let me play a little bit more from — I’ll let you jump back in Scott, don’t worry. I just want — so people understand what we’re talking about here. I mean, this is when we talk about the contrast. This is the contrast that the Harris campaign was pretty much actively playing on. Let’s play Trump today in Palm Beach, Harris also today in Washington.

TRUMP: It’s a campaign of hate, a campaign of absolute hate. And, you know, I said yesterday that she’s a vessel. She is a vessel.

They’re vicious and they’re perhaps even trying to destroy our country.

HARRIS: These United States of America, we are not a vessel for the schemes of wannabe dictators. The United States of America is the greatest idea humanity ever devised.

(END VIDEO CLIP)

PHILLIP: I mean, what do you make of that, Scott?

JENNINGS: Well, look, she’s simultaneously trying to argue that only she can save the country. They’ve obviously put all their chips in on this idea that there are just enough people who hate Donald Trump and you just have to accept me as I am. I was trying to articulate earlier before I was interrupted that I don’t think the policy argument she’s making is going to be fully persuasive about that.

People don’t necessarily just have to look at the president and say, well, as long as you’re not Donald Trump, that’s good enough. It’s not good enough for a lot of people. She said on immigration, politicians need to start taking this issue seriously. Well, the building over your shoulder is where you work. Were you taking it seriously for the first three and a half years again? She also —

MCGOWAN: Excuse me, Scott, I’m going to interrupt you again. Because you’re just lying to people!

So, it’s nuts to say that she’s not running on any policies, she’s only running on anti-Donald Trump. That’s crazy.

JENNINGS: She also said that she–

PHILLIP: I’ll let you finish, Scott, we’ll get into–

JENNINGS:–would never disrespect our military men and women. And she attacked Donald Trump on that.
