Mitch McConnell is still in the hospital after medical episode, his office says

Source: Politico

Sen. Mitch McConnell remains hospitalized, his office said in a statement Thursday — without offering details about a recent medical episode that has renewed concern about the health of the former Republican majority leader.

McConnell “continues his recovery in the hospital” and “continues to improve,” his office said.

“Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital,” the statement said. “The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.”

The statement did not explain why he was hospitalized last month.

... is working closely with his staff."



The man died 2 times on one day in June
and was revived by CPR. The recent pictures of him show a blue color to his lips which means he is not getting enough
O2 and is dying.

The man was shown proof of Trump working with the Russians in '16, blocked President Obama getting a chance to pick
a Supreme Court Judge, and blocked funding to secure our elections. Fuck him
I hope his time @ deaths door is protected and painful.

The gag went on for weeks. And continued to get applause. In the world of satire, death wasn't a good reason for his doctors to give up
