Anti-Trump attorney George Conway called CNN contributor Scott Jennings a "liar" in a heated debate Friday over former President Trump's unprecedented conviction in New York.

Conway was infuriated as Jennings argued that Trump's conviction has united the GOP and will "backfire" on the Democrats.

"Scott's lying and that's the problem with the Republican Party. It's continually addicted to lies. It's a lie," Conway told Jennings as his voice rose. 

"Wait a minute, what am I lying about?" Jennings asked. 

TRUMP GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS IN NEW YORK CRIMINAL TRIAL

"You're lying!" Conway yelled back. "You're lying, Scott. You're lying about the law! You're lying about what the jury was charged to find. They don't have an underlying crime. They had to find the intent to cover up an underlying crime." 

"What was the crime?" Jennings asked. 

Conway also called out CNN for employing Jennings as a contributor. 

"This is the problem with the Republican Party is that they are suffused with lies," he said. "I don't know why this network is paying Scott to say those lies." 

The comment prompted CNN host Kasie Hunt to jump in. 

"Whoa, whoa, OK, let's not go there George," Hunt told Conway. "Scott is our colleague and we are going to treat him respectfully as such." 

"This is ridiculous," Conway said.

Jennings argued that Trump's trial appeared politically motivated.

"The mood of the party reminds me a little bit about the Kavanaugh period," he said. "You go back to the Brett Kavanaugh hearings [in] 2018. I remember that period being, the MAGA people were mad, the non-MAGA, the anti-Trump, the pro-Trump, every wing of the party was vibratingly angry about what was being done to Kavanaugh." 

"I feel and sense that the same thing is happening today which is why I think you're probably going to see this backfire politically on the Democrats and they're going to regret it," Jennings said, as Conway muttered to himself in a low voice. 

Jurors found the former president guilty on all 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree on Thursday, which stemmed from a hush money payment to Stormy Daniels in 2016. Trump is now the first presumptive major party nominee and former U.S. president to ever be convicted of a crime.

School districts across the country are hiring military veterans as teachers.

This comes as school districts nationwide face teaching shortages. 

Eighty-six percent of public schools reported challenges in hiring teachers this past school year, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. 

JOB SKILLS OF FORMER MILITARY INCLUDE A ‘MISSION-CRITICAL’ APPROACH TO THEIR WORK

Each state sets its own requirements for military veterans to qualify to become teachers. (See the video at the top of this article.) 

In most states, these individuals need to have a bachelor's degree and pass a background check. 

Veterans who have become teachers said they encourage others to do the same. 

Ryan Pavel said he served in the Marine Corps for five years.

"When I got out, I had a notion I wanted to be a teacher, but I didn’t know exactly what that would look like," Pavel said.

Pavel said he questioned how he could keep serving something bigger than himself after he was honorably discharged from the U.S. Army.

Pavel said that thanks to help from nonprofit Teach for America, he became a 9th grade English teacher in Detroit.

Pavel said he found he already had many skills needed to teach.

"Every veteran has had to work with a diverse group of people," said Pavel. "They have had to be able to accomplish some type of mission, and they’ve built resiliency as the result of the things they have had to do."

Now, Pavel said he is CEO of his own nonprofit called the Warrior-Scholar Project.

The program helps veterans earn degrees and find careers across the United States.

ASPIRE to Teach, another program, said it's helped 2,500 veterans earn their teacher's license. 

ASPIRE to Teach is an alternative teacher preparation program in Colorado. The program is available for teachers in all Pre K-12 educational settings.​

Jessica Bell graduated from the ASPIRE to Teach program in Colorado and is a 7th grade literacy teacher at a school in Denver.

Bell said her time spent serving inspired her to talk about mental health in the classroom.

After focusing on her own mental health, she realized it was a subject she could educate students on to make a difference.

"It doesn't have to be seen as something that hinders who you are. It's what makes you better," Bell said.

Bell added that she is not teaching just to make a living — it’s become her passion. 

"I do feel [that if] there are veterans that feel like this is their talent and this is their joy — then they should step into the role of teaching," Bell said.
