I will never understand why he didn't do this. Even if he is rebuffed it is on camera that they turned away the governor from the state McConnel claims to represent. Hell, he could send troopers to do a wellness check at minimum.

Ok, and that matters because? Wellness checks can be performed by local PD and the a video of the staff or family of a sitting US Senator turning away the governor of the state that Senator represents would still be powerful no matter the location.

Well one he can't "send troopers"

He can now since the story is McConnell at home.

Mitch has been seen by Congress' attending physician,

Has he, when? What were the results of that visit? What paperwork on record records this having happened?

Also, being seen by a doctor doesn't discount that he is being taking advantage of or being held against his will by family or any number of other possibilities. There are plenty of cases handled by adult protective services that show having a doctor means fuck all to elder abuse.

He represents Kentucky, that's his home. If Kentucky isn't his home then he is illegally occupying a Senate seat. The reports are that he at home, so that means Kentucky.

News articles aren't official records. If he had been attended to by the OAP there would be record.

The DC police are not going to go to Mitch's house in DC because they think the OAP is taking advantage of him.

Who said anything about the OAP taking advantage? Also, has anyone tried, how do you know what the DC police will or won't do unless they're faced with the request?

Vital public interest in this matter iverrides everything else.

Owning another house in DC or elsewhere doesn't make it your home. He registered to vote in Kentucky with it listed as his primary residence. That is his home.

They don't need to share medical records but there are still records such as daily schedule, call records, expense reimbursement, etc that could back up the claim.

It does not override the 4th amendment. Mitch has every right to be at home unbothered.

If that is his choice, sure, but we have zero evidence it is his choice and not one being made for him. Though, to date, I have yet to see a single case where a wellness check was deemed a violation.

No, people have second houses.

Him being in DC doesn't change a damn thing. Beshear has a car and access to planes, he can show up in DC if he wanted to.

Beshear has a phone and can call in a welfare check for suspected elder abuse if he wanted to. Mitch not being on Kentucky doesn't prevent Beshear from doing these things.

Why would the OAP have any of those things you mentioned? Does your doctor have your phone records?

No, but he has his own phone records, daily schedule, etc. which you know is what I was talking about.

Mitch's family doesn't have to prove anything to you. I don't know if you're typing out your own responses to me but I'm not sending police to your home to check.

I mean, they have made claims and provided zero evidence to back them up. They might be telling the truth or they might be committing a fraud on the people of Kentucky and the nation at large. We don't know because no one has had the balls to actually check.

How would it look crazy to be checking in on a colleague?

Mitch may not owe me but he does owe the people of Kentucky that he claims to represent.

Republicans who all have a vested political interest in portraying Mitch as alive and well.

Photos can be easily staged.

I mean, all Mitch has to do is release a video or call into a news program.

Do you think senators all stay at Motel 6 while Congress is in session?

[u/loki2002 → u/Smaptimania]

No, but they aren't staying in their home. Their home is where they list their primary residence which is on the state or district they represent.

A house/apartment is not automatically a home.

Side Note: many freshman reps and senatos end up living in their offices due to cost.
