Hahahahaha, CNN is a joke. They all make up stories and then when EVERYONE denies it they are in, “full damage control”. I heard one panel after General Kelly destroyed them say, “yea, what do you expect him to say”. Fake News indeed!
Wonderful story from the UK in the early 1960s during the Profumo Scandal.
British politician John Profumo was accused of consorting with prostitutes and endangering national security. One of the women was on the witness stand, and the lawyer for Profumo smugly said, "Mr. Profumo denies ever meeting you. How do you respond to that?"
She said: "Well, he would say that, wouldn't he?"
BOOM!
