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.

I want them to rush his dying body to a Vet hospital and it takes three hours to admit him due to paperwork. I also want the EMTs to be paid minimum wage so they are all 16 year olds with no training.
I first read that as veterinary hospital, and I still like my version better.
Well he does look like a turtle. Ok I change my answer, I hope he dies going to a federally funded zoo announcing he is cutting funding and one of those giant turtles gets randy on him and no one stops it
I will sweeten it. If this happens I will seriously reconsider my atheism. Oh Lord give me a sign!
