WLWT5
Senator Mitch McConnell froze but once more mid-sentence whereas addressing the media — marking a second horrifying episode like this that he is suffered in public.
The Kentucky legislator was speaking to reporters Wednesday in Covington, KY, addressing a Chamber of Commerce matter and seemingly doing nice … that’s, till he wasn’t. When a reporter requested him about working for reelection, he took an extended pause.
Much like he did a month in the past on Capitol Hill … Sen. McConnell simply stood there quietly, and appeared to zone out. Eventually, one among his aides stepped in and requested if he heard the query … however he did not even reply to her, solely staring out into area and remaining frozen.
The aide requested the media for a second of privateness, and that is the place the video cuts out.
Obviously, that is deja vu — and plenty of suspect he may need skilled a medical episode … though, the first incident was by no means formally described as such by his staff. Now, there are nearly definitely going to be much more questions and scrutiny over his well being.
Remember, Sen. McConnell additionally suffered a nasty fall earlier this yr that noticed him hospitalized for a time. At the second, he is the top-ranking Republican within the Senate.
