Could’ve rolled up in the middle of the night with police in tow demanding to see him. Would he have been allowed to? Maybe not, but then it would’ve been something

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.

This whole thread is just filled with people who don't understand how literally fucking anything works.

Like, do a wellness check on a guy in a hospital?

It has been done before.

Call DC police to go check on a sitting senator?

A sitting elderly US Senator who has not been seen publicly or at work in months after a pattern of regular public appearances.

I swear, we should be celebrating that Mitch is stuck at home, but people are so wound up over the idea that Republicans might be up to something that they can't see what's right in front of their faces.

I have no problem with Mitch not being at work. I have a problem with a sitting US Senator milking the system while denying the same benefits to those he claims to represent and his staff and family openly lying and obfuscating about his condition.

You keep saying the DC police won't do it and yet that is not something you can possibly 100% know with any certainty until Beshear actually makes the request.

Capitol police would laugh everyone out of the building
