Popular radio host Charlamagne Tha God admitted that he’s a fan of at least one Republican commentator who regularly appears on CNN — Scott Jennings — primarily because he believes that Jennings is not using his appearances on the network to exacerbate political divisions.

Charlamagne explained that while he and Jennings were often on opposite sides of the issues, he believed that Jennings was there to drive thoughtful conversations — and he wished that CNN would bring in more commentators who felt similarly about the job.

“By the way, my favorite show to watch on CNN by far, just for the chaos, the chaos that ensues on Abby Phillip’s show is very entertaining,” he began. “And it’s actually one of the few shows I can think of — Fox does it when they have Jessica Tarlov on the panel — but they on CNN actually pair up two or three conservatives with two or three liberals and they throw topics out there. And it always does make for interesting conversation, I can’t sit here and act like it doesn’t.”

“I wish they had more people like Scott Jennings though,” he added. “Because I feel like Scott Jennings really, really does take it serious, even though he holds his side down. I think a lot of times, they have Republicans on here who are just there just to throw grenades, just to cause the conflict. But Scott actually — I think Scott actually gives a f*** a little bit, you know what I mean? A lot of bit actually.”

Jennings responded to the radio host’s praise, reciprocating in a post of his own and saying, “True story. I take this job seriously. Ty @cthagod — respect your work too.”
