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.
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.
Well said.
If anything, this is one small, token bit of karmic justice that we’re witnessing.
