The note from Dr. Brian P. Monahan, written Thursday, attributed Mr. McConnell’s momentary paralysis to “lightheadedness,” associated with his recovery from a concussion he suffered in a fall five months ago. It also said the episode could also have been caused by dehydration.

We truly live in a bizzaro America right now - where we HAVE no representation, and we are being told what is what - regardless of what transpires in front of our own eyes.

I don’t think the FF’s envisioned it this way.

Between this guy and Biden’s doctor, I think their doctors need doctors.
