That's CNN Health producer John Bonifield.
Of course he wouldn't be apprised of everything going on in the politics war room.
Bonifield works with the CNN Medical Unit and primarily with CNN Senior Medical Correspondent Elizabeth Cohen.
Obviously he was just shooting smack with a "reporter" from P-V, trying to act like he was bigly player in the spinning world of politicos, when in fact he's near the bottom of the totem.
