Scott Jennings on Democrats criticizing White House UFC fight: 'I guess they want to live in misery'

Republican political strategist Scott Jennings says, "All week long, I have been listening to Democrats criticize a reflecting pool. They're criticizing having this UFC fight. I mean, virtually anything we're doing to do something cool in Washington, D.C., Democrats are against it, because I guess they want to live in misery. But this is fun and we should have fun." Democratic strategist Jamal Simmons responds, "I don't want to live in misery." CNN political commentators Xochitl Hinojosa and Brad Todd weigh in.
