Scott Jennings Doubles Down on His Shock Mitch Health Claims
One of Mitch McConnell’s longtime confidantes claims the Senate Republican is preparing to return to work, pushing back on mounting speculation that he is “dead or a vegetable.”
But CNN’s MAGA mouthpiece Scott Jennings also acknowledged on Thursday that McConnell’s office should have been more forthcoming about his health, and believes an announcement could be imminent.
“I have not,” Jennings said, when asked if he had been in contact with McConnell since their conversation earlier this week when he claimed they had spoken for 20 minutes about everything from Ukraine to Senate history.
“I have been in touch with the staff. In fact, I was speaking with some of his senior staff today, and I know he was actually meeting with some of his staff late this afternoon about a few issues going on over at the Senate.”
“And truthfully, it sounded to me like somebody who was preparing at some point to go back to work. Now, whether that means go back to work soon or go back to work eventually, I don’t know. But I do know he was meeting with his staff today and getting some briefings on a few issues.”
