i highlight that cnn is not backing jennings "As a CNN Political Commentator, Scott Jennings is not a full-time employee or journalist for the network...His account of a personal conversation with Senator McConnell reflects his experience and is not CNN reporting."
look it's one thing if gop politicos prevaricate about conversations with mcconnell, but scott jennings is ostensibly, sort of, in the news business. that is a very very different thing
