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’m 73, and with Peripheral Neuropathy in both feet, I do the same thing. My cat-like balance and spring has gone away after 2017’s illness and long hospital stays.
Fake fall so he can hide in the hospital and avoid the Tucker fallout imho.
In Oct 2020 its wasn’t just the backs of his hands that were bruised. He had a bruised lip and eye. Somebody had worked him over. It wouldn’t surprise me if it happened again.
I hope it wasn’t the Russians with that dang poison again.
If he doesn’t return, and I suspect that he will, he will have embarrassed himself so fully over J-6.
