"Ive had a lot of conversations with celebrities who are conservative curious and want to speak out. Theyve talked to their current representation [whose] position is like, If you want to do this, then youre on your own. Theres a lot of people out there who are afraid of being dropped by their representatives. Thats crazy. Why on earth is a publicist trying to control their messaging for them?"She pointed to CNN commentator Scott Jennings as an example of an outspoken conservative improving a liberal environment through his daily appearances on the network.KELSEY GRAMMER SAYS CONSERVATIVE MOVEMENT IS LOOKING MORE ATTRACTIVE TO HOLLYWOOD"I am obsessed with Scott Jennings," Santos said. "What he has done on Abby Phillips show is what our evening discourse should be like. I am so sick and tired of everybody just existing in their own echo chambers.
