Overview
- Following a contentious NewsNight exchange over Iran policy, Miles Taylor said Scott Jennings mocked Trump during commercial breaks but praised him when the cameras were on.
- Joe Walsh supported Taylor’s account and said Jennings was playing a role he did not believe.
- Julie Roginsky said she heard Jennings trash Trump in the green room and claimed CNN barred her after she called him out.
- Wajahat Ali shared a similar recollection, while Lydia Moynihan defended Jennings and Adam Kinzinger and Akilah Hughes disputed that defense.
- CNN and Jennings have not offered on-the-record responses, and Mediaite and TheWrap reported the allegations without independent verification, focusing attention on booking power and credibility on cable news panels.
