Mitch McConnell Got Another Health Scare

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., on Wednesday appeared briefly unable to respond to reporters' questions at a press event, marking the second time in weeks that the Republican leader has abruptly stopped speaking and required help from people around him.

McConnell, 81, initially seemed to struggle to hear when asked at an event in Covington, Kentucky, about his views on running for reelection.

But the senator then froze at the lectern and did not speak for about 30 seconds. He did not appear to immediately respond when a member of his staff approached him to ask if he had heard the question.

"All right, I'm sorry, you all. We're going to need a minute," the aide said during that interval.

McConnell then appeared to signal he was ready to receive another question. He was asked about Kentucky's Republican attorney general, Daniel Cameron, who is running for governor.

After his aide loudly repeated the question into his ear, McConnell said, "I think the governor's race is going to be very close," with his voice lowering in volume as he finished his reply.

He brushed off a final question about former President Donald Trump's latest indictment in Georgia before being led away from the lectern.

McConnell suffered a similar episode July 26 in Washington, D.C., where he froze and was briefly unable to speak at a news conference.

In that case, McConnell's fellow senators rushed in to help him, and after a few minutes he returned to the lectern and continued speaking to reporters.

At the time, McConnell dismissed questions about whether the health scare was in any way connected to a concussion he suffered earlier this year when he fell at a political fundraiser.

It's hard to feel bad for somebody that has had such blatant disregard for other people's lives in favor of self-interest. McConnell is probably the forerunner for taking the blame on corruption within the government. He's far from the only one, but his actions have probably had the most negative effects. It'd be easy to say it's just party politics, but a lot of people had sympathy for McCain following the news of his cancer diagnosis. That's not the case for McConnell because he has continuously disgraced Congress and the country.

Overly excited to see this dinosaur gone and for the people of my state get an elected official who actually wants to help them. Kentucky ranks incredibly low in education, economy, and quality of life and Mitch has been a huge obstacle in fixing these issues

If I’m McConnell, I’ll check myself to a hospital.

Just like Dianne Feinstein they’re not gonna do anything

this people is why we need Term Limits , you shouldn't be able to go to DC and make a living off of just blocking the other parties judges and big pharma. He was elected in 1984 !! before many of us were born and has messed up the supreme court for his own parties power. He wanted back at the democrats for something that happened in the 80s involving a supreme court seat.

He blocked Obama for 234 days and gave that to trump, then when RBG passed away he changed his tune and became a hypocrite about confirming Judges during election years and Amy Coney Barrett was stole from the democrats seat forever changing makeup of  the SC.
