Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze again Wednesday, this time during a gaggle with reporters in Covington, Kentucky, stopping for more than 30 seconds after he was asked if he would run for re-election.
The Kentucky Republican froze in July at a news conference on Capitol Hill, going silent for 19 seconds before being escorted away from the cameras. McConnell, 81, returned shortly afterward and continued his news conference, telling reporters, “I’m fine.”
When it became apparent that McConnell had frozen again on Wednesday, an aide came up to him and asked, “Did you hear the question, senator?” McConnell continued to be unresponsive.

If that behavior is typical, he belongs in a home, certainly not Congress.
unfortunately that behavior is more and more typical… in congress
Absence seizures are pretty benign. I knew a classmate who used to get them back in high school. She was totally competent. Looks exactly like what happens to Mitch
The children’s blood he drinks is probably deficient in iron and magnesium.
The vaccines depleted the adrenochrome supply. Hardest of /s.
Someone was talking about adrenochrome at my work last night. Thought my head was going to explode.
I mean, why not have a dying sociopath representing us?..
Par for the course at this point. Won’t be surprised if Mitch represents us in effigy when he dies. “this is what Mitch would have wanted”
Give it some lettuce.
But seriously that man should be at home spending time with his family for the rest of his life. He’s done as much damage to the US as any other politician in the past 30 years but one still feels some compassion for and old man losing the plot.

You have more compassion than I do. All the damage that guy has done to the people of the US is too much for me to give a rat’s ass about his well-being and comfort. Just on stealing Supreme Court Justices alone, who knows how many women will die because of the impact on Roe v. Wade. I rather spend my compassion on those women than this psychopath.
Sadly there’s some competition for the title of “most damage done to the US in the last 30 years” because Newt Gingrich exists as well.
He’s a terrible person and when he dies may he rot in piss.
I’d care about him going senile if him being sane wasn’t as detrimental as it was.
Empathy is a good thing but let’s save it for the people who actually deserve it and not old ass racist pieces of shit like him
Question, if the good people of Kentucky finally get rid of this horrible man, what’s the prospect for the future?
Are they so deep red there’s no chance of electing someone more sensible, or is that state ripe for some competition?
McConnell is effective because of his tenure. A new Kentucky senator is still likely to be a fuck stick, but they probably wont be so brutal.
On a positive note, Kentucky does have a democrat Governor, so it does occasionally fall in the “Montana/Wisconsin split statewide seats” vote. A dem senator is slightly possible.
They’ve been planning for this eventuality. The state legislature passed a law requiring the governor to appoint someone of the same party.
Mitch actually won the seat over a long time democrat. At the time he was considered an insane longshot but he had aid from Rodger Ailes. McConnell ended up winning in an upset.
Pretty much a matter of people actually voting and republicans being less successful at voter suppression.
Will somebody please reboot Mitch again?
All that Russian malware in him is really fucking things up.
That’s just the real Mitch McConnell trying to escape. He’s been locked in there since '45. I think Stephen King wrote a book about it.
