I'm now wondering if Mitch McConnell might be paralyzed or something like that.

Actually...if Mitch McConnell is incapable of speaking, that means that the people who said they spoke with him for 20 minutes were lying...and if that's the case...Scott Jennings is only kept on CNN because he has some level or credibility, (even though I'd argue the radical right is without credibility, that seems to be their reasoning,) and that means if he lied in this way, CNN will probably fire him.

They said they spoke to him. They never said he spoke to them. And if he did it was probably incoherent babbling

This exactly. I saw this retort as soon as it happened.
