5:30Now PlayingWashington is facing two very different health stories: Mitch McConnell’s office stayed vague after an ambulance was reportedly called when he was found unconscious, while Tom Kean Jr. publicly explained that his four-month absence was due to hospitalization and depression. Kean’s honesty should have opened a serious conversation about health, privacy, transparency, and public service, but Lauren Boebert responded by mocking him for being “sad.” The same party demanding silence around one powerful senator’s condition is ridiculing another member for telling the truth, all while cutting the healthcare system millions of Americans rely on when they need help. Ring of Fire's Josh G. discusses.
