Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was hospitalized Wednesday night after suffering a fall while at a private dinner at a Washington, D.C., hotel.
The extent of McConnell's injuries is not known at this time, but a spokesperson for the senator told Punchbowl News that McConnell is currently receiving treatment after his trip.
The 81-year-old senator was at an event at the Waldorf Astoria D.C. when he fell, according to the news source.
Democratic Sens. John Fetterman (PA) and Dianne Feinstein (CA) have been hospitalized in recent weeks, with Fetterman seeking treatment for depression and Feinstein for shingles.
Feinstein tweeted on Tuesday that she is recovering at home.
In October 2020, McConnell dismissed concerns about his health after a photo surfaced online of his hands bruised and discolored. In 2019, McConnell fell at his Kentucky home, fracturing his shoulder.
I’ll never understand how Kentucky repeatedly elects both Rand and McConnell.
“Part of the GOP-E plan to bring equity back to the senate?”
Yeah, that’s another benefit of the traitorous turtle taking some time off.
Just a shell of a man...
Hang in there!!!
For the win…
So Beshear probably appoints his replacement for a time?
Perusing the discourse herein on the subject matter begs wonderment for the possibility of a return to the premises that our once great Country was founded on.
A republican/?,,,uniparty.
IF IT SITS IT ROTS! I don’t feel old, I don’t act old and I don’t think old. I’m in my 77th year and still ski as the professional I am. I can still lay down an arc just about any where and any time I wish. I still ski race very, very well.
I’m an extremely lucky individual to be this healthy, this active and athletic. I don’t run, always hated it, I walk hard and move quickly. Sometimes I “skip”, no impact with that.
A word to all out there reading this, do something physical every day, break a sweat every day, eat well, eat very little “GARBAGE FOOD”, stay hydrated, DON’T drink too much, a splash of good rum in your morning coffee and good glass of wine with your meals is just fine.
According to FReepers. The current democratic Governor appoints the replacement.
Speedy recovery Mitch!
Well just damn? I hope that he didn’t break anything important in the fall! It would be sad to lose a valuable item just to ease the fall of this POS......
KY has a Rat Governor??????
Yes, but apparently the Gov has to pick from a recommended list by the Reps.

I believe the Democrat governor is required under state law to name another Republican to the seat.
His connection to the CCP is still intact, don't worry.
It was Tucker's J6 video revelations that upset the Turtle so much that he became all verklempt and slow motion tripped. One of the videos surely captured turtle and graham's onanistic glee at the sound of Trump supporters being shot.
KY has had only three or four GOP governors since WW2.
WY also does it that way, and that’s how we got Barasso.
