Several Republicans said they spoke with Senator Mitch McConnell this week, who remains hospitalized after being admitted on June 14.
The comments from Senate Majority Leader Thune, Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, and Republican strategist Scott Jennings are the first to shed any light on McConnell’s condition since his hospitalization last month. McConnell’s office has so far only released very limited information, which has fueled speculation about his diagnosis and condition online.
Jennings described a 20-minute call with the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican in which he said they discussed several key political issues.

Sorry, but after all the fraud surrounding Joe Biden I'm still going to ask for proof of life, like a real recording of Mitch talking to these people.

Scott is dead to me now. At least now we know what he really is.
To: libstripper
They’ll blame HIPAA, but you are right. We need actual proof of life (and consciousness).

The reports of his death have been greatly exaggerated?
To: libstripper
If he’s able to discuss all these topics, why isn’t his butt back at work?? Me thinks someone is lying/exaggerating about his ability to comprehend and answer.
