McConnell Frozen Face Sparks Health Concerns!

Speechless.

Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) had a stroke shortly after he won the Democratic nomination for the Pennsylvania senate race. Washed Up 45, Mehmet Oz, Fox and Republicans were driving this notion that Fetterman is a vegetable and incapable of performing his duties as a senator.

They attack him and his wife relentlessly.

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), 81 freezes during one of his daily rants about President Joe Biden and Democrats. The president calls him and asks if he is doing okay.

McConnell had been making his opening remarks about an annual defense policy bill when he stopped talking. He was silent for 19 seconds. His Republican colleagues asked whether he was OK, and a top McConnell deputy, Sen. John Barrasso of Wyoming, a physician, escorted McConnell away from the cameras and reporters.

Republican Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa made a hand gesture that initially appeared to resemble the sign of the cross. Her office later clarified that she was motioning for Senate Minority Whip John Thune of South Dakota.

A few minutes later, McConnell walked back to the news conference by himself. Asked about his health, he said he was fine. Asked whether he is fully able to do his job, he said, "Yeah."

Asked about the episode, an aide pointed to McConnell’s saying, “I’m fine,” but the aide added that McConnell “felt lightheaded and stepped away for a moment.”

"He came back to handle Q&A, which as everyone observed was sharp," the aide said.

McConnell spoke to reporters briefly Wednesday night as he left the Capitol and said, "The president called to check on me."

"I told him I got sandbagged," he joked.

A White House official and a spokesperson for the senator confirmed that President Joe Biden and McConnell spoke by phone Wednesday.

Asked by reporters how he was feeling, McConnell said, "I'm fine." He did not directly answer what happened earlier in the day or whether he saw a doctor.

McConnell tripped and fell March 8 after an event for the Senate Leadership Fund — a Republican super PAC aligned with McConnell and GOP leadership — at the Waldorf Astoria in Washington. He was hospitalized with a concussion and a minor rib fracture and was discharged March 13 before he entered rehab.

He didn't return to the Senate, however, until mid-April.

McConnell would never wish Biden well nor any Democratic senator. Biden, who was treated like shit does a honorable thing. 

McConnell treats Biden and his old boss Barack Obama with no ounce of respect. He and the 48 Republican senators are blocking his nominees, voting against bipartisan legislation and literally trying to excuse Washed Up 45's actions.
