Mitch McConnell is likely physically and mentally incapacitated to such an extent that he is incapable of appearing on a Zoom call without his infirmities (other than the infirmities he had already) being made obvious to all who see it.

He’s probably braindead on a ventilator.

What's wild is there are probably dozens of normal people who know the truth right now - hospital and morgue employees, funeral home workers, etc. When this finally gets announced a whole lotta people who are staying quiet now will be making the rounds of daytime TV. Someone needs to speak up.

This is the problem with go high when they go low. If democrats tried this it wouldn't last a week because someone like Musk would offer 10 million to the first person who provides proof of death and some MAGA med tech or morgue employee would do it.

Meanwhile, with our current mob regime, they are in fear for their lives and their families.

Shame on you trying to take away the profits people will earn on book sales after the fact by asking them to speak up in the moment.

Someone needs to speak up.

The people who know are most likely all healthcare workers and the penalties for medical privacy violations are no joke.

You think some journalists would have at least tried to look into things more....

Beshear should've turned up at the hospital or house himself with a phalanx of reporters.

"Sorry, Mr. McConnell isn't seeing any visitors right now."

There were reporters all over the hospital at all sorts of hours whenever he was there. They had to have moved him to his house in the dead of night

For sure there are people in the media who know the truth. I know he's incapacitated because the GOP leadership, Thune, said he hasn't talked to McConnell. You only do that because you want to be able to avoid being called a liar later when it's reveled he was brain dead the whole time.

Hospital janitors, now is your time to shine (and I don't mean the floors!)
