Sen. Mitch McConnell appears to freeze again at a Kentucky event

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze again Wednesday, this time during a gaggle with reporters in Covington, Kentucky, stopping for more than 30 seconds after he was asked if he would run for re-election.

The Kentucky Republican froze in July at a news conference on Capitol Hill, going silent for 19 seconds before being escorted away from the cameras. McConnell, 81, returned shortly afterward and continued his news conference, telling reporters, “I’m fine.”

When it became apparent that McConnell had frozen again on Wednesday, an aide came up to him and asked, “Did you hear the question, senator?” McConnell continued to be unresponsive.

SheeEttin,

If that behavior is typical, he belongs in a home, certainly not Congress.

correcthorsedickbatterystaple,

unfortunately that behavior is more and more typical... in congress

Pipoca,

That really depends on what his particular diagnosis is - are these mini strokes, seizures, or something else?

If he’s having seizures, that doesn’t mean he needs to be in a home.

SnowdenHeroOfOurTime,

People will suffer and die because of his decisions. Lovely.

InternetTubes,

Sometimes the ghosts catch up to him.

Will somebody please reboot Mitch again?

All that Russian malware in him is really fucking things up.

meco03211,

Will somebody please reboot Mitch again?

What if we didn’t? Just let this thing run its course?

Blooper,

Yeah I’m curious what would happen if nobody intervened. Would the guy just slowly curl into a ball on the floor and die? A silent room full of cameras recording him as he sheds his mortal flesh and unceremoniously exhausts the very last drop of what used to be his vast reserves of evil. To never again utter a self-serving Fox News talking point or to fellate an oil executive on a private jet.

chili1553,

poopt his pants

ohlaph,

twice now. Need another diaper

Arn_Thor,

Give it some lettuce.

But seriously that man should be at home spending time with his family for the rest of his life. He’s done as much damage to the US as any other politician in the past 30 years but one still feels some compassion for and old man losing the plot.

chaogomu,

Sadly there's some competition for the title of "most damage done to the US in the last 30 years" because Newt Gingrich exists as well.

You have more compassion than I do. All the damage that guy has done to the people of the US is too much for me to give a rat’s ass about his well-being and comfort. Just on stealing Supreme Court Justices alone, who knows how many women will die because of the impact on Roe v. Wade. I rather spend my compassion on those women than this psychopath.

hydrospanner,

Well said.

If anything, this is one small, token bit of karmic justice that we’re witnessing.

He’s a terrible person and when he dies may he rot in piss.

I’d care about him going senile if him being sane wasn’t as detrimental as it was.

Empathy is a good thing but let’s save it for the people who actually deserve it and not old ass racist pieces of shit like him

Anticorp,

but one still feels some compassion for and old man losing the plot

Maybe one does, but that’s probably about the limit.

He looks a lot like Adrian Ripburger from Full Throttle with that massive upper lip gap.

Who had two simultaneous weekend at Bernie’s situations in the US senate on their Bingo card?

mr_sparkle,

The children’s blood he drinks is probably deficient in iron and magnesium.

NegativeInf,

The vaccines depleted the adrenochrome supply. Hardest of /s.

Maruki_Hurakami,

Someone was talking about adrenochrome at my work last night. Thought my head was going to explode.

rtxn,

I have no idea what that is, but it sounds like something an insane energy drink company CEO would use in their advertisements.

mr_sparkle,

You mean to tell me no one wanted an energy drink for Asian homosexuals?

eran_morad,

Mark my words: there will be a discovery of a pizza joint somewhere in DC where republicans rape and torture kids in the basement.

Kbobabob,

I always thought he would look like this when eating

PinkPanther,

You’re confusing him with a democrat. /s

That’s just the real Mitch McConnell trying to escape. He’s been locked in there since '45. I think Stephen King wrote a book about it.
