YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday abruptly stopped speaking and froze in place for about 20 seconds during a news conference in the Capitol.

The 81-year-old lawmaker was led away but returned to the microphones a few minutes later. He told reporters he is “fine” and is able to do his job.

The episode, which was caught on camera, comes just months after McConnell suffered a concussion and broken rib in a March 8 fall at a fundraiser in Washington, D.C. He was discharged from the hospital on March 25 but didn’t return to the Senate until mid-April.

McConnell spokesman David Popp refused to answer reporters’ questions on the Republican leader’s condition.

McConnell had been surrounded at the time by his leadership team. Senators Joni Ernst of Iowa and John Barrasso of Wyoming asked if he was ok as he stood frozen in place.
