Mitch McConnell Has Been Hiding Serious Health Problems For MONTHS

New reports are pouring in and revealing that the incident that occurred with Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell on Wednesday was not an isolated event, and he has had at least 3 serious falls, including one described as a "faceplant" in recent months. These events have been kept secret from the public, but we deserve to know the truth, especially if there is a problem that makes it not possible for McConnell to perform his duties as a Senator. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses the new information.

So this week, as I had previously discussed, Mitch McConnell, of course, had that infamous press conference where he froze up, just immediately stopped talking, stood there, staring non-responsive, but he was able to walk away. And then later in the day, of course, he, you know, came out, he joked about it. He told Biden, Hey, I got sandbag too. Uh, acting like everything was normal. What we saw in that press conference was a totally normal event. But then yesterday, the day after Mitch McConnell froze up at that press conference, new reports started coming out that let us know that Mitch McConnell's health problems are not only far worse than we had thought, but the extent of the coverup of these health problems is far worse than we had thought. There's at least three separate incidents this year, including multiple incidents that we did not know about yet, where Mitch McConnell has fallen.

Now, that may not seem like a big deal, right? He falls, he had a bout of polio when he was young. His upper thigh is paralyzed. He has no feeling in it. So he's always walked, you know, with that, uh, uh, uh, you know, uh, uh, problem. So Mitch McConnell falling, having mobility issues is not an issue. You know, there was one incident, actually 12 days before that press conference where, uh, his staffers say that he face planted, like he literally just fell right flat on his face. But there were other incidents including before the concussion this year where he had fallen. So he is now at the point at 81 years old where he is falling quite frequently. Again, and these were not reported, these were hidden from us. We're not being told the full story of Mitch McConnell's health issues. But the reason I bring up the mobility issue, you know, in the childhood polio and all of that, is because I wanna make something very clear here.

If what's happening to Mitch McConnell is nothing more than mobility issues, then that's not an issue. Right? You know, I I, if he's got a sound mind, a sharp mind, then, okay, go on. Keep being the evil genius that you are in the Senate because somebody's ability to walk without falling does not hinder their ability to do their job as a senator. Uh, it's also been reported that he's been using wheelchairs at airports. Nothing wrong with that. That doesn't impede your ability to do your job. The question here is, are those falls that Mitch McConnell is taking related to a deeper cognitive issue, or is it simply a mobility issue? That is what we need answers to. And given the fact that they've been hiding all of this information from the public, we're not going to get those answers. The guy's 81 years old, he's been serving in the United States Senate longer than anyone in the history of the

United States of America. He has been there for 38 years. He's been there since I was two years old. And he needs to go. He needs to go for so very many reasons, the least of which is his age. The guy is responsible for some of the worst Republican pieces of legislation, the worst right wing judges, you know, holding up that supreme, uh, court seat when Scalia passed. He's a horrible, horrible person. And he may now, based on what we saw Wednesday, be a horrible person with some kind of cognitive problems that need to be addressed.
