Former Homeland Security official Miles Taylor, who appeared as a visitor on Monday’s (March 23) NCS NewsNight time, has known as out Scott Jennings for placing on an act relating to his help of President Trump.
Taylor made the accusation after clashing with the conservative commentator on Monday’s present, the place the pair went forwards and backwards about Trump’s warfare with Iran. The argument continued on social media the following day, the place Taylor claimed Jennings “mocks” the president when the cameras aren’t rolling.
“You know who’s a perfect metaphor for the GOP? Scott Jennings,” Taylor wrote on X. “A pundit who mocks Trump with us during commercial breaks — but fawns over Trump when the camera is rolling. Brave enough to speak out… in the green room.”
Taylor didn’t obtain a response from Jennings, however others jumped into the social media tiff, together with New York Post correspondent Lydia Moynihan.
Moynihan fought again in opposition to Taylor’s accusation, writing, “I have been on NCS many times with Scott Jennings. He is a man of his convictions and his political beliefs are completely sincere, genuine, and deeply rooted in what he believes is best for America.”
Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) then jumped into the controversy, replying to Moynihan, “YOU HAVE GOT TO BE JOKING??!! I’ve been on News Central Site too and while i won’t reveal behind the scenes details, I’ll just say i disagree.”
While Jennings is now a vocal supporter of all issues MAGA, he has beforehand spoken out in opposition to Trump. In an op-ed he wrote for NCS on January 6, 2021, Jennings blamed the Capitol assaults on the president.
“President Donald Trump caused this insurrection with his lies and conspiracy theories about the election process being rigged against him,” the pundit wrote on the time. “It was not stolen, but this madness was fomented by the President and his top advisers over the past several months.”
Despite circuitously addressing Taylor, Jennings did share a clip from Monday’s episode of NewsNight time the place Taylor claimed to have spoken to allies within the Middle East.
“When someone cites anonymous Middle East “allies” with the intention of undermining the commander-in-chief throughout a army operation, you need to deal with it with the identical skepticism as you’d a physician who can’t inform you what a girl is,” Jennings wrote.
Taylor quoted Jennings’ post, responding, “Says the guy who literally was texting with “anonymous” White House sources whereas we had been on the air.”
He then followed up, asking, “Scott, did you leak confidential conversations with the president on air? Did the president know there was a leaker in his midst? If so, why not say their name? If not, why are you violating the confidentiality of presidential decision making?”
Taylor continued to take shots on Wednesday morning (March 25), writing, “When Scott Jennings loses an argument, he calls the cops.”
