Mitch McConnell escorted away from cameras after freezing mid-press conference

WASHINGTON — Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suddenly stopped speaking during a weekly Republican leadership press conference on Wednesday afternoon, appearing to freeze, and then went silent and was walked away.

McConnell, R-Ky., had been making his opening remarks and suddenly stopped talking. His Republican colleagues asked if he was okay and Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., escorted McConnell away from the cameras and reporters.

These politicians keep giving more and more reasons for why we need to enact term limits and age limits for office.

During opening remarks of his press conference, Mitch McConnell suddenly froze mid-sentence. After standing there for a few seconds, McConnell was escorted away.

He was eventually returned after a few minutes and was able to proceed, so clearly this wasn't a stroke. But then it just raises the question, what did cause his strange behavior.

He should retire. Glad to see him go.

2nd line.

Reboot....

The establishment Uniparty will NEVER vote themselves out of a pay cut or even a mandatory "retirement".

Starts in the booths but those booths are just as compromised as the government we think we're in control of.

Everyone knows what NEEDS to happen, but in familiar fashion, most are too apathetic hoping someone else will do something so they don't have to.

That's one of the main reasons we are sunk.

Being from Kentucky........it is past time to ditch Mitch.

Too much Chinese influence. He stands in the way of legalizing marijuana.

Term limits and I hate to be ageist, but I'm going to be. There should be age limitations.

a reply to: Threadbare

We really need to get all these old scumbags out of government.

I don't care where they escort him to, just get him the hell outta Kentucky.
McConnell is just a RINO, like Cheney and Romney.

term limits. now.

I joked about robots too, but seriously he seems like he is suffering from dementia or possibly even Parkinsons.
My dad would stop mid speech just like that so many times and have blank eyes. It would take a few minutes for him to shake it off too.

Dude is old!

If I hadn’t seen my own dad with that exact, and I mean exact same look I wouldn’t believe it either.
The eyes are 10000000% Parkinsons eyes if I ever saw them. We used to call it freezing up. It happened often to my dad as he got toward the advanced stages of Parkinsons. Keep in mind there are very strong medications they give to patients that can make them appear perfectly normal (Carbadopa, Levadopa) that’s right… pharmaceutical DOPE!

For god sakes we need some term or age limits. We can’t have these octogenarians in charge of our future anymore. What a joke our government is.

...or robot, but since i have no proof, besides all the other government people i believe could be robots, i will accept your explanation as likely ...but not definitive...

and it definitely doesnt rule out him being an actual robot, for the record.

Yes, I love that any other job anyone over 65 is too old, yet our government is run by these cotton tops!

With so many 'dead men and women walking' leading our country, what could possibly go wrong?

It appears McConnell never fully recovered from his fall and resulting concussion, yet they'll keep propping him up.

Somebody needs to call the elder abuse hotline on the DC fossils!
