DC Rumor: Mitch McConnell Might Never Return to the Senate
Independent Sentinel ^ | - March 15, 2023 | By M Dowling

According to the NY Times, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell had been under observation since suffering a concussion during a fall on Wednesday. He also has a “minor rib fracture,” his office said. He’s off to rehab and rumor has it that he might never return.

Mitch McConnell could be sidelined.

A spokesman, David Popp, said that the lawmaker’s “concussion recovery is proceeding well” and that Mr. McConnell, 81, had been discharged from George Washington University Hospital, where he was taken after the accident at the Waldorf Astoria on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington about 9 p.m. Wednesday.

“At the advice of his physician,” Mr. Popp added in a statement, “the next step will be a period of physical therapy at an inpatient rehabilitation facility before he returns home.”

D.C.. resident and radio host Chris Plante said on his radio show this morning that Mitch is in rehab and might never return to the Senate. That would be great news, but then, who replaces him?

We wish him good health and happiness, but not as a Senate leader.

Even if McConnell stays in rehab for the rest of his term, he remains a Senator...................

Although not unheard of for someone his age, the “McConnell fell down” sounds like a Harry Reed fell off of an exercise machine when he sustained a black eye and other bodily injuries. It was obvious that somebody whipped his ass and DC and its propagandist media covered it up.

Controlled narrative: Mitch McConnell fell and hurt his head.

Likely scenario: Mitch McMconnell had something go wrong in his head and fell.

No, I bet his wife was with him and gave him a little PUSH.

Nope, some solid right wing Republican like Lisa Murkowski. ;-)

Well, much as I am not a McConnell fan I’m happy to hear that news. He leaves the Senate and we get a dem and then it’s one more vote for some crapola thing they hoist up.

Sorry to hear his health is not well. Happy he maybe can't continue to ruin the Country..My view is he's too wrapped up in China....I think he is compromised. Along with a sheet load of other Pols.

I've been saying for years.....we need to TERM LIMIT them...We Term Limit the POTUS.....

I'm sick to these people going in office...with a modest income,.,,,and leave multimillionaires.

Not him. Rick Scott is the dumbass who suggested cutting Social Security a month before the midterms.

Fetterman is probably dead, right?

Lurch wouldn’t know if he was.

Mitch should retire to enjoy what time he has left.

Mitch McConnell Might Never Return to the Senate

“I had already thought he looked very ill. If you look at pictures if him from a few years ago versus now, his skin color is very different and not healthy looking. “

I thought the same, his last speech was weak.

Replace the turtle with someone like the junior senator from Kentucky.
