My Bull Shit Detector is lighting up strong: [View all]

John Thune, John Barrasso, and Scott Jenning all state they had a 20 minute phone call with Mitch McConnell in the hospital.

Really: you all stated the phone call was exactly "20 minutes?"

BTW: I'm sure Chuck Schumer has Mitch McConnell's phone number. Has he even tried to call him to see WTF is going on?
