According to the NY Times, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell had been under observation since suffering a concussion during a fall on Wednesday. He also has a “minor rib fracture,” his office said. He’s off to rehab and rumor has it that he might never return.
A spokesman, David Popp, said that the lawmaker’s “concussion recovery is proceeding well” and that Mr. McConnell, 81, had been discharged from George Washington University Hospital, where he was taken after the accident at the Waldorf Astoria on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington about 9 p.m. Wednesday.
“At the advice of his physician,” Mr. Popp added in a statement, “the next step will be a period of physical therapy at an inpatient rehabilitation facility before he returns home.”
D.C.. resident and radio host Chris Plante said on his radio show this morning that Mitch is in rehab and might never return to the Senate. That would be great news, but then, who replaces him?
We wish him good health and happiness, but not as a Senate leader.
Get this fossil out of Congress
Let’s hope and pray that’s true.
Well, all I have to say to him is BYE FELICIA! Take your CCP wench with you and don’t let the door hit your *** on the way out. Hopefully before you eject from this mortal coil, you will be met with justice for undermining America and the GOP base for decades. The Cold War never ended because of scum like this. May it finally die with you, Mitch.
I hope he enjoys a long and excruciating decline before descending downward.
Mitch has been grooming Thune to take his place. If that doesn’t work it will be another Mitch uniparty senator.
A balanced response: “We wish him good health and happiness, but not as a Senate leader.”
His age may be affecting his thinking.
I wish him all the best. I hope he goes to heaven. I hope he goes tonight.
I’ve been praying for Divine Intervention.
EXCELLENT
Now if we could just get Mitch to take Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney and several other Swamp Rat traitors WITH him, well we would REALLY have cause to celebrate.
WeThePpl are progressing well with genuine MAGA folks in the House but, the senate is STILL a Swamp Bottom Feeder mess. Getting rid of McConnell and his FORTY YEARS of TREASON, is a great start.
Keeping a balanced outlook is important. A statement like “forty years of treason” is neither accurate or balanced.
While finding many of McConnell’s recent statements and positions to be unwise and certainly unhealthy for maintaining constitutional government (and he should never hold office again), it is not fair to compare him to Benedict Arnold, John Wilkes Booth/Mary Elizabeth Jenkins Surratt, Iva Toguri d’Aquino (Tokyo Rose), Mildred Gillars (Axis Sally), Martin Monti, Julius Rosenberg and Ethel Rosenberg (née Greenglass), etc.
A lot of evil was committed in the name of bipartisanship. With God’s grace, this is the end of that insufferable era. There’s a balanced outlook.
You forgot Jane Fonda
I’m not fond-a Hanoi Jane.
The departure of Mitch is a required step to fix the senate. We know he has about 4 key RINOs in line to take his spot, but we need him to be gone.
The senate leader or minority leader is not an official position for anything. Mitch’s power comes from controlling party money. I assume that if he is gone he loses that power. Maybe then that power will be distributed.
My understanding is that Mitch has never gone home since his fall. Notice that we get no details of the fall. A concussion at an advanced age is serious. It’s a fitting way for him to go, physically injured, thoroughly discredited, and hated by the base. It would be an ignominious end to his career. I would cheer.
Might be in Gitmo!
Yippee!
No, I don’t wish him good health and happiness. He’s a corrupt traitor. If he successfully finishes rehab, I hope he gets struck by lightning as he walks out the door. Time for all these old corrupt bastards to go.
The only appropriate action towards Mitch is his removal.
His anger towards the J6 videos indicated complicity. There is no other reason for his behavior. Even his sidekick Ernst looked concerned about his statement. Mitch gave no supporting reasons for his opinion. All he said was that some police chief who was not involved with the event had a different opinion. It was the crowning act of Mitch’s career, to speak up at that time, when as our nation fails he says nothing.
