Biden defends Mitch McConnell’s health: ‘It’s part of his recovery
NY Post ^ | 09/01/2023 | Melissa Koenig

President Biden defended his GOP rival Mitch McConnell after the Senate leader once again froze up while answering questions from reporters — insisting that the bizarre episode is “part of his recovery” from a recent concussion.

The president said McConnell’s “response” was not unusual when recovering from such an injury, and denied having any concerns about the 81-year-old’s ability to effectively lead the Senate.

“I spoke to Mitch. He’s a friend and I spoke to him today,” Biden said when asked about McConnell’s health at a news conference on FEMA’s response to Hurricane Idalia. “And, you know, he was his old self on the telephone.

“And one of the leading women on my staff, her husband’s a neurosurgeon as well,” he noted. “It’s not at all unusual to have the response that sometimes happens to Mitch when you’ve had a severe concussion — it’s part of his recovery.”

“And so I’m confident he’s going to be back to his old self.”

Joe is incoherent much of the time. So if he says things that sound like nonsense, it’s just how Joe is.

Freezing up like that may be either a stroke or a problem with his Vagus nerve. In either case, its just going to get worse.

He got this from some woman on his staff who is married to doctor, so that’s high-powered medical advice, for sure.

I do not care if Mitch McConnell recovers. I want America to recover. It will not recover until Mitch and Joe are GONE!

The irony of Biden weighing in on this makes me think we’re all part of a simulation

When you are that age and have had many heath episodes, you are not recovering...you are biding your time.

Should Mitch “retire”, the governor of his state, the governor of Kentucky, a Democrat, may well act, or attempt to, along the lines of putting in a DEMOCRAT to fill out Mitch’s remaining term. There is a legal constraint passed by the Republican majority of the state legislature, which requires the replacement for Mitch be a Republican, but that is a very flexible term, and a RINO (assistant Democrat) only has to look good on paper.

At this point that is a difference without a distinction.

This is like the “developing countries” of Africa—keep getting worse and worse and worse while they “develop”.

Darn it, I forgot that Dr. Jill Biden is Joe’s wife.

Her medical knowledge automatically is given to Joe, by contact.

Stupid Joe thinks she is an “MD.”

In other words, Joe and the Dem’s need Mitchie in place to thwart any real resistence. The ONLY thing I will ewver credit the turtle with is the Supreme Court.

It’s the least Biden could for McConnell after all McConnell did to help bid rig the 2020 election.
