On July 7, Jennings said he spoke to the aging lawmaker for 20 minutes on the phone. McConnell\u2019s first, now-infamous \u201cproof-of-life\u201d photo was released by his office on July 12. A second was released earlier this week. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>But people aren\u2019t convinced, with some even propagating conspiracies that he is, in fact, dead. The second release did little to quell these theories. <\/p>\n<p>On Thursday\u2019s <i>The Source <\/i>with Kaitlan Collins on CNN, Jennings was once again grilled about McConnell\u2019s mysteriously long hospital stint. \u201cHave you spoken to him recently on the phone?\u201d Collins asked him. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cUh, no, I haven\u2019t spoken to him,\u201d Jennings stated. \u201cI talked to him early on. And I\u2019m in touch with his office, but I haven\u2019t spoken to him recently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Karen Finney, a Democratic strategist, then created an awkward silence by holding up her phone and asking whether they should call McConnell live on air. \u201cWe could\u2013 should we\u2013 do we want to FaceTime him?\u201d Finney said. \u201cNo? Ok,\u201d she said after an awkward silence where Jennings didn\u2019t budge. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cOk, on that note, Scott Jennings, Karen Finney, thank you both for being here,\u201d Collins added after another long pause. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4632\">Murdoch Paper Hits Trump With a Scathing Reality Check<\/a><\/p>\n<p>This is the third time Jennings has been dared to call up his old boss. Just a few days ago, on Tuesday evening, Kentucky governor Andy Beshear said Jennings should do it in the name of transparency. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cListen, if he supposedly had a 17-minute conversation with Scott Jennings, he can call in and have a three-minute conversation with you. He can go to camera and just let us know he\u2019s doing all right, which is what we all ultimately hope for,\u201d he said on the same show with Kaitlan Collins. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut it is incumbent upon him to have enough respect from the people of Kentucky and the United States of America to do the bare minimum and be honest and transparent.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He said that the photos released by McConnell\u2019s office had stoked doubt and added of Jennings, \u201cTo be fair, Scott Jennings works for CNN. He can go on air, dial him up, put him on speakerphone, and we can put all the speculation to rest.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Just hours after Jennings\u2019 supposed call with McConnell on July 7, he joined Kasie Hunt\u2019s panel on <i>The Arena<\/i>, where the host asked him to call the senator. Jennings laughed off the request, rambling about his history with McConnell.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s a fair question about transparency,\u201d he eventually admitted. Hunt pressed once more. \u201cWell, let him know.
