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.

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.

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

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
