Staff Reports
During a press conference earlier today, U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell (R-KY) had a little bit of a snafu. It seems like the 81-year-old senator had a momentary freeze and looked a bit out of sorts. Thank goodness his colleagues were there to help him out and bring a swift end to the press event. But they didn’t give us any insight into what exactly happened to poor McConnell. Come on guys, we need answers!

I am no fan of Mitch McConnell, but I pray that he is okay!!!
Maybe his body is telling him he should resign? ?https://t.co/vSnjMFfm5o

Now, it’s not clear whether this little episode will affect McConnell’s ability to do his job in the Senate. But let’s be honest, the guy has had his fair share of health issues lately. Back in March, he had to be hospitalized and sent to a rehab center after taking a tumble at a fancy dinner. And it turns out, those injuries were worse than we initially thought – a concussion and fractured ribs! Ouch!
Wow. This doesn’t look good at all. Mitch McConnell looks like he just had a medical episode during a Senate press conference. pic.twitter.com/OPhoJ6YcfU

Despite all the health setbacks, McConnell has been holding down the fort in the Senate since 1984. That’s a seriously impressive run! He’s actually the longest-serving party leader in the Senate’s 234-year history. But with his latest incident, combined with other senators dealing with shingles and clinical depression, it’s starting to feel like the health issues are hitting the Senate left and right. Let’s hope everyone gets back to peak performance soon. We need those conservative voices loud and clear!
