CNN has exclusive video out this morning showing Mitch McConnell being loaded into an ambulance on a stretcher after a reported medical emergency on June 14th, when he was said to be found unconscious at home following an apparent cardiac arrest. Nearly a month later, Hawk zeroes in on the question no one is answering: how long was McConnell's brain deprived of oxygen, a detail that matters enormously and remains unknown.
Hawk lays out the competing claims. McConnell's staff repeats that he is recovering, Laura Loomer posted that sources call him brain dead, while Scott Jennings, John Thune, and John Barrasso all describe 17 to 20 minute phone calls with him about Iran and the economy. Hawk casts doubt on those accounts, arguing that if McConnell can talk to allies for 20 minutes, he can give a reporter five minutes of proof of life.
The larger worry, in Hawk's telling, is that this is a dry run for Donald Trump. He points to Trump saying he has no idea about McConnell's condition, the governor of Kentucky's unanswered request, and a pattern of concealment he expects to see repeated, comparing it to Representative Tom Kean stepping away for months.
