Kasie Hunt presses Scott Jennings to call Mitch McConnell on CNN
Kasie Hunt asked Scott Jennings on live TV if McConnell would be willing to call in to CNN. The discomfort on Jennings’ face while he tried to bullshit his way around that answer was really something. Methinks we still aren’t getting the whole story.
Linda UWSⓥ335McConnell is brain dead, his wife s with the CCCP, and both she and Republicans are keeping him on life support to avoid a special election. This isn’t complicated.
ercolesfondrati.bsky.social305He will call in in two weeks.
Magnus G. Singleton157If the 20 minute call is logged on Scott Jennings cell phone, and it should be easily verified. Just not that hard.
Gia Monroe126With Thune saying they talked today, McConnell needs to do a media interview if they want to dissuade the rumors and prove he is of sound mind and body and can move forward as a Senator.
Nobody Important 🌻🕊️🌊114Good for @kasie.bsky.social WTG!! Every single journalist should put Jennings on the carpet and ask him point blank questions to provide evidence about Mc🐢's health status. Keep up the pressure!!
jc96I spoke to Mitch McConnell for just under 20 minutes today too, and he told me he’s dead. 🤷🏼♂️
Tom Ruffen5Scott Jennings is CNN's worst hire ever.
The Shumater5Perhaps CNN will finally, finally stop putting Scott Jennings on air once the bullshit he's peddling about Mitch McConnell is exposed. #SilverLining
💙🦋LC 4 Democracy🦋💙--🎨📷🧶👩🍳4I saw the clip too. Caught lying from the cookie jar!
🦊 🩵🐦⬛ Fox & Crow, for Bartleby Endeavors 🎥3Wasn’t there a Twilight Zone episode?
emily of the cheap guitars2Imo, this whole charade, where Republicans pretend McConnell is still alive, is just a dry run for When It Happens: what can they get away with, and for how long?
if scott jennings is saying he talked to mcconnell than that guy is dead dead. can’t trust a word out of jennings’s mouth.
gm0rk.bsky.social41If McConnell were capable of saying even his own name they'd be releasing videos of it rather than lying that they totes just saw him doing cartwheels while reciting the alphabet backwards.
david.21I am sure when it is revealed Mcconell has been dead for weeks the people just straight lying about it will receive some kind of punishment. Right?
Dag.13Scott Jennings wouldn't even tell you the truth if it was good for him, just out of habit.
tim-obedlam.bsky.social12oh, it's possible the Scott Jennings talked to McConnell. A lot less likely that McConnell said anything back.
ellenahzulu.bsky.social11Does anybody else remember how absolutely nutty FOX & the GOP were about the Terri Schiavo case? FOX setting up a broadcast table in the hospital parking lot? GOP pols offering diagnoses from the Senate floor? RW nutjobs found multiple ways into the facility to check on Schiavo's status.
Deep Sense of Creeping DreⱯd 20249It's great that he apparently talked to him but maybe he could talk him into posting a photo holding todays newspaper eh
"If Scott Jennings, Thune, and everybody else could have a 20-minute phone call with Mitch McConnell, he should be able to shoot a 60-second proof-of-life video to show us that he’s okay. I think they know the deadline for a special election is August 3rd."
zendarva.bsky.social17Just start the special election. If the turtle is alive, he'll poke his head out. If not, it becomes moot.
tit4tat1.bsky.social8So that is it. They have to “ keep him alive “ to August 3rd.
Jane Flames 🔥6You would think that if he's that lucid and coherent enough that he can gab all day with colleagues and media hacks, then he could put a short video online addressing his constituents. Y'know the people he actually works for. Cue the AI video in 3...2...1...
PolittleCat 🐸5And it's obvious that after that deadline has passed, they will say he suddenly took a turn for the worse and he died. And nobody else will have seen/talked to him and the medical people are bound by HIPAA. How conveeenient!
georgebrenner.bsky.social4How about just get a journalist there? We don’t need hostage style proof of life videos here, we just need an actual fucking journalist to see that he’s alive.
Hunter2Can they sue to get his status or subpoena his wife for status? Is there any legal avenues and punishment for not proving he is alive and able to perform his duties?
for all we know, Mitch McConnell has gone to that Great Terrarium in the Sky, yet Republicans are now insisting they're getting phone calls from the comatose turtle. thank you for your attention to today's post, in which I also cover Donny shitting the bed at NATO. link is here: bit.ly/4pg5KGk

EARNED MY SPURS & UNABLE TO CURB MY CUSSING 🐎8We spoke yesterday for 20 minutes. He was at this undisclosed location.
Ralivan1In the sky? That motherfucker has been dragged back down to the flaming configuration he spawned from.
zeke300.bsky.social1They’ve all had “20 minute conversations with him”-do you believe them?
• 𝓙ᴏʜɴɴʏᴰᵉᵉᵖ • 𝓳𝓵𝓪 • ᓓ⬭ェZ Z 𝈠 ᗝ𝈧𝈧𝈟 •1And where's McConnell's wife? Last I heard, she had jetted off to Europe shortly after he was admitted to the hospital.
• 𝓙ᴏʜɴɴʏᴰᵉᵉᵖ • 𝓳𝓵𝓪 • ᓓ⬭ェZ Z 𝈠 ᗝ𝈧𝈧𝈟 •1Sorry, Jeff, but Trump wasn't sleeping in the 1 minute clip. He was clearly listening to someone over his right shoulder, either the translator, or perhaps an aid giving him an update on something.
@Mike Nellis: If Scott Jennings and John Thune can have a 20 minute phone call with Mitch McConnell, he should be able to shoot a 60 second proof of life video. #Blues #DOOR
Democrats Organizing For America20How INSANE that the American people have to demand a proof of life video from a US senator because we 100% believe his party is capable of faking his *life* just to unfairly manipulate an election?!
#BlueStormComin1🌪️🦋🇺🇸 #Resistance 🦋🙌🏻 #Blues13Scott Jennings 😂 I don’t trust that man! #Blues
🦋 Betsy 1776 🦋 📎9Why can’t the Democrats have a phone call with him or have proof of life? I don’t believe Jennings or Thune! #Blues
gothmama.bsky.social5There's these really cool inventions now called cell phones and they have little cameras on them. Technology, amirite?
Erepine5They both said they talked TO him, not WITH him!
ella-ca.bsky.social5Hey everybody, Mitch is okay. Just dropped his proof of life video!
Pam Spaulding9Had a 20-min convo w/Zombie Mitch, & he said: "just release all of the rest of the #Epstein files." And: "Put all the files & videos incriminating that pedo rapist Trump at the top of the pile, dammit...right on Blanche's desk." He then raised a weak hand & indicated peace out ✌️. 📺 t2m.co/fb7Udm18
Queen Captures Bishop7When proved false Scott Jennings should be fired immediately.
Silvana4Ok! I thought he was already dead. 💙
🔵Blue Dot Buckeye🔵4Precisely. Surprised they haven’t tried to pull together an #AI deep fake yet. Or is that going to drop tomorrow! ⏳⏲️🕰️⏰⏲️⏳⏱️ #Blues
If it turns out that Scott Jennings completely fabricated his “20 min” chat with Mitch McConnell, what do you think the consequence should be?
A Blog of Their Own33He should actually have to talk to Mitch McConnell for 20 minutes
Bud McLaughlin16It should be a fireable offense, but now that CNN is a part of the right wing echo chamber, he’ll face no consequences.
Andrew Paugh9He has to live with himself as Scott Jennings. That’s plenty punishment in itself.
PoloPrincess MBA6Stone him to death. Don't do it because he lied. Do it to make the world a better place.
v̴͍̼̟͆͂͌̋͗͆̓͝3̵̢͇̘̅͒͐́͗̀̚͠x̷̜͎̯̽͋͑̌̎̓͐̾x̷̲̗̓͛̈́̀͌̕͝5I would love to see any consequence, but this admin seems to have banished them.
Sharron5Of course he fabricated it, he is a liar.
Scott Jennings thinks every Democrat is part of a hive mind, but every Republican scandal is an isolated incident.
Shola Hoon11Scott Jennings would defend Ken Paxton to his grave
Dan Beaton 🇺🇦 🇪🇺10Jennings also thinks that Hunter Biden being on Burisma’s Board was the worst scandal in American 🇺🇸 political history, and all the sordid extra-curricular the Trumps do, is just fine.
True Blue Majority8Scott Jennings says whatever his daily talking points tell him to say. We'll never know what he really thinks about anything, or if he thinks at all...
Lachrymalis5These people. They'll point out a pimple on your nose while their own face looks like a pepperoni pizza.
Bob Wheeler3Kinda lost me at “Jennings thinks”.
This Nancy2And Mitch McConnell is talking policy with him. MY ASS
What's the matter, Scott Jennings? You said you talked to Mitch McConnell on the phone before. Call him live, so the whole country and world will know that you are not lying. @cnn.com do better. He should not be paid for his lies. #USDemocracy www.the-independent.com/news/world/a...
Bev8NBC fired Brian Williams for an imbellished statement. Come on @cnn.com fire Scott Jennings. He is a liar.
putawomanincharge.bsky.social5He is bad at it too. Really bad. On every damn night?
Grumpy Grandpa3Find the number in his call list
stephthethird.bsky.social2Jennings better put up or shut up lol.
Odysseus1It's one thing to be a Bullshitter. It is something entirely different being a BAD Bullshitter. Republicans can't even Bullshit properly anymore. They real do believe we are stupid.
First, Trump talks to a Teddy Roosevelt hologram like it’s real. Now, John Thune, John Barrasso, and Scott Jennings are having 20 minute chats with Mitch McConnell’s barely living corpse. Things get weirder every single day in America.
Westofmpls5An intubated person cannot speak.
TheSnarkTank3They failed to mention that they spoke to him by ouija board.
Royal Blue Angel1SkyNews is running a timeline of the summit saying trump confused Zelensky for putin among other nuggets.
Bkbethesda1What do we expect from white old R men? Add money laundering to that.
David M. Reiss, M.D.1LBJ is going to make a statement about these issues this afternoon.
That's Hilarious1Interestingly, they all had the same topics of conversation with Mitch in their 20 minute conversations.🤔 We would never accuse them of lying...
McConnell was found unresponsive 3 weeks ago in his home after apparently had a heart attack. Since then, his wife has fled the country back to China, his daughter has deleted her social media, and paid moron shills like Scott Jennings have all “just spoken to him for roughly 20 minutes”.
John G.10Beshear should just call for the Special Election and see if McConnell shows up in person to argue standing. (I'd bet not.)
Curt🇨🇦🇺🇦2The Damage He has Created is Unfathomable!
eddthegoat.bsky.social1Someone should request an official wellness check.
The So Called Gang Of One 🇬🇧1Can a corpse really recover though? And while MAGAts are shameless, legally when did McConnell die and are they in jeopardy if they did not declare that death.
☆Jennїe S Jonzen☆ Is He Dead Yet?! 🖖LLAP🤟🍀✴️✳️🌟☘️🗽🇺🇸🇺🇦🏳️🌈🌈🗿🌻💙💛⭐️12I kind of hope a similar scene plays out when the orange one goes the way of the turtle, with his children fleeing the country, his wife disappearing to a former USSR country, and Republicans having fictional conversations with him.
Principles Before Personalities12Governor Beshear has the right to ask.
@JohnBGilman.bsky.social4McConnell is clearly dead or brain dead. The GOP will keep the fiction that his cadaver is still a functioning US Senator as long as possible...
