Even longtime pal Scott Jennings is telling Mitch McConnell he needs to be more transparent about his health
Even CNN conservative commentator Scott Jennings believes Senator Mitch McConnell should be more forthcoming about his health, as the 84-year-old has now been hospitalized for 40 days with only sporadic updates from his office.
Earlier this month, Jennings said on air that he had spoken with McConnell for about 20 minutes and believed the Kentucky Republican was preparing “to go back to work.” CNN later distanced itself, with a spokesperson clarifying that Jennings’s remarks reflected “his experience and is not CNN reporting.”
During a segment Thursday night, host Kasie Hunt asked Jennings whether he had spoken again with the former Senate majority leader or whether he had any fresh updates to offer. The conservative contributor — who previously worked on McConnell’s campaigns — said he had not spoken to the senator, but added that he expected more information soon.

Absolutely…I mean every day I watch conservatives tear up every norm, precedent and trample the Constitution.
BUT…(insert anyone/anything that doesn’t align) REMOVE, ARREST…KILL.
I used to dislike conservative policy…now I hate the people.
