when did mitch mcconnell freeze up in front of a microphone?
Senator Mitch McConnell froze up at microphones during public press conferences on two separate occasions in 2023: first on July 26, 2023, at the U.S. Capitol, and again on August 30, 2023, in Covington, Kentucky.
July 26, 2023 (Washington, D.C.) What happened: While delivering his opening remarks at his weekly press briefing, he abruptly stopped speaking mid-sentence, trailed off, and stared blankly for about twenty seconds.The response: Fellow Republican senators and aides quickly gathered around to assist him, and he was led away from the microphones. He returned about twelve minutes later, telling reporters that he was "fine" and able to take the rest of his questions.The reason given: His office attributed the episode to him suddenly feeling lightheaded.
August 30, 2023 (Covington, Kentucky) What happened: While speaking to local reporters after a speech, he was asked about his thoughts on running for reelection in 2026. He chuckled, had the question repeated, and then froze completely and stared ahead silently for roughly thirty seconds.The response: An aide stepped in to help guide him back to re-engaging, and the press conference was momentarily paused. He ultimately returned to answer a few more questions.The reason given: His spokesperson stated that he had again felt momentarily dizzy.You can read more about the first episode via ABC News, or review coverage of the second incident via the PBS NewsHour.
If he goes, does Breshear get to appoint a Dim to fill this seat? Didn’t the KY state legislature pass a bill saying an appointment by the governor has to be the same party as the departing senator?
Let's not fool ourselves, he's dead.
To be replaced by a not-very-convincing double. Although easier in this case, since all they need is a turtle.
In Kentucky, he can only be replaced by a special election.
He deserves to go to Turtle Heaven.
Set him on that big fence post in the sky.
He’s still voting…
I would have said his condition remains unclear 41 years after being first elected to the Senate.
Die pedo demon
Salmonella🐢🤣😂

Sounds like transient ischemic attacks (TIAs). I had several. Very mentally distracting, to say the least.
