McConnell appears to freeze while speaking with reporters in Kentucky
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze for about 30 seconds on Wednesday while speaking with reporters after a speech in Covington, Kentucky.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze for about 30 seconds on Wednesday while speaking with reporters after a speech in Covington, Kentucky.
The incident is similar to an episode McConnell experienced at the US Capitol late last month and is likely to raise additional questions about the fitness of the 81-year-old to lead the Senate Republican caucus.
Wednesday’s episode occurred when a reporter asked the Republican leader if he was planning to run for reelection in 2026. McConnell had to ask him to repeat the question several times, chuckled for a moment, and then paused.
Someone at his side then asked him, “Did you hear the question, senator, running for reelection in 2026?” McConnell did not respond.

The dehumanizing attitude of the comments here sucks. Don't be like them.
Fuck that and fuck him. He deserves no sympathy.
Naw. He can go. He's done enough harm to the world.
Fuck Mitch, some people are truly evil and have zero redeemable qualities.
Be worse. It's the only way to defeat these fascists. People like you need to go research the paradox of intolerance and get a clue.
His situation is sad and he deserves all of it.
He's surrounded by people that, not for a single second, care about him or his health and will happily Weekend at Bernies him (assuming they aren't already).
On a human level, it's awful. And then I remember all the suffering he had personally caused and all my sympathy shifts to everyone he's harmed in his long, horrible life.
So it is wrong to dehumanize a person that has dehumanized millions of Americans for the most part of his career? Some kind of backwards logic if you ask me.
