BREAKING: CNN hurls MAGA pundit Scott Jennings under the bus by announcing that they do NOT endorse his claim that Mitch McConnell is alive and making phone calls.

Things are getting VERY fishy, very fast...

“As a CNN Political Commentator, Scott Jennings is not a full-time employee or journalist for the network,” a network spokesperson told The Daily Beast. “His account of a personal conversation with Senator McConnell reflects his experience and is not CNN reporting."

Jennings claimed during an appearance on CNN that he had spoken to his "old friend" McConnell for 20 minutes on the phone. He was trying in vain to tamp down on the spreading speculation that the senator is braindead or perhaps even totally dead.

McConnell was hospitalized three weeks ago after suffering a cardiac arrest and receiving CPR on site. Right after he was admitted, his wife Elaine Chao flew to China to meet with top-ranking CCP officials. Then, earlier today, it was discovered that McConnell's D.C. residence is undergoing dramatic floor renovations.

Something is definitely going on and his office refuses to provide a real explanation.

It would be a simple matter for McConnell to release proof of life. Even a photo of him weak in a hospital bed giving a thumbs up would suffice. Right now, his constituents have no idea if their senator will ever be returning to work.

Scott Jennings is a professional liar who spends most of his time defending Trump's endless crimes, abuses, and dementia-tinged mistakes. Dishonesty is second nature for him. He could be helping McConnell's camp cover up the truth to avoid allowing Kentucky's Democratic governor to appoint a replacement, followed by a special election. Or he spoke to an AI voice mimicking McConnell.

One thing is certain: We are not getting the full story.

1. Are they firing him

for lying on their channel.

[BaronChocula]

17. Yeah right

They should fire him. How long do you think a Democratic Socialist who lied constantly would last on that network?

(NOTE: This is not an endorsement or rejection of Democratic Socialists, nor is it an invitation to to a discussion on the efficacy of Democratic Socialists within the Democratic fold. It is not implication that Democratic Socialists lie. It's simply a hypothetical to demonstrate the bias within news outlets like CNN and their willingness to be extremely tolerant of right-wing hacks in a way they are not nearly as tolerant as those on the opposite end of the spectrum. )

4. Anything Jennings says is the opposite of what the actual truth is.

He could tell me that the sky is blue and I would go outside to check.

[calimary]

7. Yep. So would I.

[Wonder Why]

9. I just did. It's gray right now! So you are right to check. 😁

18. None of them are that reliable.

There is NO point in listening or reporting anything that crew says. If they say the sky is blue, the sky could be blue, or green, or black, or it could have stopped existing, or anything else. There is NO relation between their words and reality.

15. Here is the story from The Daily Beast

https://www.thedailybeast.com/cnn-throws-scott-jennings-under-bus-on-mcconnell-health-claim/

...CNN says that it does not consider Scott Jennings’ widely criticized claims about Sen. Mitch McConnell’s health condition to be “CNN reporting.”

A network spokesperson told the Daily Beast that Jennings, who is among the GOP insiders who claim to have spoken to McConnell this week, “is not a full-time employee or journalist” at CNN and that his reporting “reflects his experience” and does not represent the network.

“As a CNN Political Commentator, Scott Jennings is not a full-time employee or journalist for the network,” the spokesperson told the Beast. “His account of a personal conversation with Senator McConnell reflects his experience and is not CNN reporting.”
