if he never said it, there is no reason for Kelly to not flatly deny it.

Same with Tillerson with his "moron" comment, McMaster with his "kindergarten" comment, and an endless supply of others. if it was never said, there is no one with cell phone audio proving you wrong, or any other evidence to the contrary. Just say I don't know where you got that information, but it's not true.

Yet they never do this. The either hide from the question, or dance around it.
