Controversies
Some of Jennings' tweets have been the subject of controversy. On September 22, 2014, he received criticism after tweeting, "Nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair."

On November 10, 2015, Jennings was criticized after he tweeted a joke about the death of Daniel Fleetwood, a lifelong
Star Wars fan who died of cancer. Fleetwood's dying wish was to see
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, fearing he likely would not live to see the film when it opened in theaters in December 2015. An online campaign was started on his behalf and his wish was granted only days before he died. Jennings said, "It can't be a good sign that every fan who has seen the new Star Wars movie died shortly thereafter."

Jennings again faced controversy when on May 31, 2017, he tweeted a joke involving
Barron Trump, the youngest child of U.S. President
Donald Trump. After 11-year-old Barron Trump saw an image of
Kathy Griffin holding a bloody Trump mask, he believed it was real and screamed. Jennings wrote, "Barron Trump saw a very long necktie on a heap of expired deli meat in a dumpster. He thought it was his dad & his little heart is breaking."
[60] After the tweet garnered controversy, Jennings said, "The joke doesn't mock Barron. It mocks using him for political cover."

In August 2018, Jennings was criticized for his description of an elderly woman tweeting about her deceased son. When she tweeted about her son's love for the 1980s television character
ALF, Jennings responded with "This awful MAGA grandma is my favorite person on Twitter."
