Scott Jennings commented on Ben Shapiro’s comments on Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes at TPUSA, saying, “I know this: platforming and absorbing hateful ideologies and conspiracy theories, especially regarding Charlie’s murder, are the opposite of helpful.” He added that while he doesn’t enjoy the infighting, the issue of Israel and whether to give a platform to anti-Semitism or Holocaust deniers is crucial.

Jennings emphasized his stance, saying, “I know where I am and that is—we’re a political party, not a sponge, and we don’t have to soak up everything that oozes in under the door.”
