Another NCS character has joined the rising refrain of present and former insiders accusing Scott Jennings of being two-faced.
Julie Roginsky, a mainstay on the community till, she claims, she was axed for a blistering Substack assault on Jennings, has joined two others in accusing him of unloading on Trump within the inexperienced room earlier than going to bat for him when the cameras are rolling.
Roginsky joined the motion on X, writing: “Can corroborate @MilesTaylorUSA and @WalshFreedom accounts that Scott Jennings trashed Trump in the green room repeatedly in front of me. Also have my suspicions that he has a say in getting people banned from the show who stick it to him and make him look like a fool.”

The newest accusations construct on claims from former Trump administration official Miles Taylor, who mentioned the commentator “mocks Trump with us during commercial breaks—but fawns over Trump when the camera is rolling,” calling him “a perfect metaphor for the GOP.”
Those claims have since been echoed by a number of others. Former NCS contributor Joe Walsh mentioned he might affirm the habits, whereas additionally accusing the pundit of having him sidelined from the community’s NewsNight program.
A fourth voice, Wajahat Ali, added that the sample was widespread, writing that “nearly every GOP hack did so” throughout his time on the community.
The mounting pile-on follows Roginsky’s final look on NCS, the day earlier than she printed the Substack post trashing Jennings and NCS.
In it, she wrote: “NCS once sold itself as the grown-up in the room. It was the network you turned to when the stakes got real. That reputation—earned over decades—was built on restraint, seriousness, and a basic respect for viewers. Which is why NCS’s continued reliance on Scott Jennings is not just baffling, but corrosive to its brand.

“This is not about ideology. NCS has long—and rightly—made room for conservative voices. The problem is not that Jennings is a Republican. The problem is how he behaves, what he contributes, and what his presence signals about what NCS now tolerates.”
Roginsky continued: “On air, Jennings does not debate; he blathers. He talks over women with particular frequency, interrupts relentlessly, and treats panel discussions as contests of volume and obstinacy, rather than as exchanges of ideas. He mugs to the camera and rolls his eyes, while calling any fact he does not like a lie. It is performative obstruction—the cable news equivalent of flipping the board when you’re losing the game.
“This is not ‘spirited debate.’”
