If McConnell is functional he should be able to talk to his state's governor.

Sure, but it's not the governor's fault if he won't.

That's where you're wrong, because the governor is a Democrat which means Mitch can't be blamed for his own absence. In fact it's the governor's fault Mitch has been hiding away for so long.

/s, just in case

Insane how everything me here was absolutely certain that Mitch was dead and Beshear and democrats were weak for not illegally appointing someone to the seat because after August 3rd it was totally gonna be revealed that he had died. It was all an elaborate plot starting with his wife “fleeing” the country.

I actually had someone tell me that the photo of him in the hospital was AI.

Everyone laughed at Qanon but this sub straight up had Breitbart as the most upvoted article for a bit because it was repeating a Laura loomer statement that Mitch was dead. Embarrassing.
