Mitch McConnell, 83, Falls Down Stairs in Capitol Building

/0 Comments/in , /by

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) fell down the stairs outside the Senate chamber Wednesday, where reporters watched the octogenarian regain his footing.

McConnell got up with the help of Sens. Steve Daines (R-MT) and Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and tried to walk it off.

McConnell also fell in December, continuing a pattern that raised alarms in 2023, leaving him with a hurt wrist, bruised hand, and bandages on his finger and face.

McConnell was treated for a concussion last year. That injury occurred upon falling at a hotel in Washington, DC. It was one of his many health issues in 2023, CNN reported. (Read more from “Mitch McConnell, 83, Falls Down Stairs in Capitol Building” HERE)

McConnell Falls Again, Gets Medical Attention

/0 Comments/in , /by

Outgoing Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) received medical attention on Capitol Hill after he suffered another fall on Tuesday.

POLITICO reported that McConnell, 82, walked out of a Senate GOP lunch with a cut on his face and medical personnel followed the lawmaker into his office.

Sen. John Thune (R-SD), who has been elected to serve as the next Republican leader in the upper chamber, assured reporters afterwards that McConnell was alright.

“He is fine. He’s in his office. And any other questions about Sen. McConnell, I’ll refer to staff,” Thune said at a press conference.

After Trump Landslide, GOP Senate Votes For Business As Usual In Leadership Race

/0 Comments/in , /by

Republicans elected a reincarnation of retiring GOP Senate chief Mitch McConnell to lead the upper chamber on Wednesday following former President Donald Trump’s overwhelming win last week.

Sen. John Thune of South Dakota was promoted from Republican Senate whip to majority leader on the second secret ballot with 29 votes in a contest against Sen. John Cornyn of Texas, who received 24. The two lawmakers edged out a challenge from Sen. Rick Scott of Florida, who only captured three more votes for his candidacy for leader compared to his previous challenge to McConnell in 2022. Scott had run two years ago after McConnell funneled scarce campaign resources to win safe seats in the midterms while competitive candidates in key states were stripped of funding over their opposition to the incumbent Senate chief.

“This Republican team is united behind President Trump’s agenda, and our work starts today,” Thune said.

The South Dakota Republican, however, is effectively Mitch McConnell-lite, having acted as a top McConnell deputy in Senate leadership by championing unlimited funding to Ukraine and displaying antagonism toward bold activism from effective colleagues. In May, Thune was among several GOP senators who embraced one of the Democrats’ latest hoaxes against the Supreme Court when The New York Times painted Justice Samuel Alito as an extremist for supposedly flying an American flag in distress.

“I don’t know how you explain that,” Thune said of the fabricated flag controversy wherein Alito’s wife flew a flag upside down at the couple’s residence. (Read more from “After Trump Landslide, GOP Senate Votes For Business As Usual In Leadership Race” HERE)

Suspicious Death: What Did Mitch McConnell’s Sister-In-Law Know?

/0 Comments/in , , , /by

The death of Angela Chao, CEO of the New York-based Foremost Group, sister to former U.S. Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, and sister-in-law to Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, is now being investigated as a crime following a car crash in Texas, according to recent reports.

Chao, 50, was found dead in her sinking vehicle in a pond on a ranch in Johnson City, near Austin, on February 11. The ranch is reportedly owned by a corporation connected to her husband, Jim Breyer.

Emergency medical services personnel attempted to save her, but unfortunately, as stated by the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office in a statement to the Austin American-Statesman, she “succumbed from being under the water.”

Multiple media reports have highlighted a letter to Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton from the Blanco County Sheriff’s Office, which described the crash as “not a typical accident.”

Chao was the chair and CEO of the Foremost Group, a company her parents founded in 1964. She had worked her way up through the ranks, previously serving as vice president and focusing on ship operations and management, before being promoted to senior vice president with additional responsibilities. She eventually became CEO in 2018. (Read more from “Suspicious Death: What Did Mitch McConnell’s Sister-In-Law Know?” HERE)

New Low: Only 6 Percent of Americans Approve of GOP Leader Mitch McConnell

/3 Comments/in , /by

Senate Republican Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky remains the least popular politician in the country, according to a new poll out Monday.

A Monmouth survey of more than 800 adults 18 and older indicates that 60 percent of respondents disapprove of the GOP Senate chief’s job performance. Only 6 percent of respondents said they approve of it. McConnell earned the lowest overall approval rating among congressional leadership and “is the only leader to receive a net negative score from his fellow partisans.” Just 10 percent of Republicans said they approve of his performance, and 41 percent said they felt otherwise.

The Monmouth University survey also found President Joe Biden’s approval rating at an “all-time low” with “particularly poor marks for his handling of immigration and inflation.”

“Only 3 in 10 Americans say the incumbent is giving enough attention to the issues most important to them, which is worse than for his predecessor,” Monmouth reported. (Read more from “New Low: Only 6 Percent of Americans Approve of GOP Leader Mitch McConnell” HERE)

Traitorous Mitch McConnell Conspired With FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried to Destroy GOP Candidates

/0 Comments/in , , /by

By now, it’s no secret that Mitch McConnell is a downright traitor. But just how low will he go to destroy Trump and the entire America First movement? Depths you couldn’t even fathom. In fact, globalist Mitch was so hell-bent on destroying America First, he actually collaborated with Democrat crook Sam Bankman-Fried to sabotage MAGA candidates.

That’s a new low, even for him.

Slay News:

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) reportedly held secretive meetings with Sam Bankman-Fried and persuaded the disgraced former FTX CEO to donate millions of dollars to anti-Trump Republicans.

McConnell gave the Democrat megadonor a list of Republican candidates who were running against President Donald Trump’s endorsements in the 2022 elections.

The meeting was revealed by Michael Lewis, the author of The Big Short, during an interview with “60 Minutes” on Sunday.

McConnell Goes Catatonic; Americans Begin to Ask Who’s Really Controlling Our Government

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze for about 30 seconds on Wednesday while speaking with reporters after a speech in Covington, Kentucky.

The incident is similar to an episode McConnell experienced at the US Capitol late last month and is likely to raise additional questions about the fitness of the 81-year-old to lead the Senate Republican caucus.

Wednesday’s episode occurred when a reporter asked the Republican leader if he was planning to run for reelection in 2026. McConnell had to ask him to repeat the question several times, chuckled for a moment, and then paused, closing his mouth and staring straight ahead.

Someone at his side then asked him, “Did you hear the question, senator, running for reelection in 2026?” McConnell did not respond.

Report: Mitch McConnell Fell Disembarking From Plane Weeks Before Freeze Incident

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) reportedly tripped and fell while disembarking a plane earlier this month, weeks before his unfortunate freeze incident on Wednesday.

Two sources familiar with the fall incident confirmed to NBC News that it happened at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, adding that he sustained no serious injuries and resumed business as usual that day.

“The fall, which has not been previously reported, occurred July 14 after the flight out of Washington was canceled while everyone was on board,” NBC noted. “McConnell who was a passenger, had a ‘face plant,’ someone who was on the plane at the time but did not witness the fall told NBC News. That passenger also said they spoke to another passenger who helped tend to McConnell.”

The U.S. senator has resorted to using a wheelchair when navigating crowded airports as a precaution. A survivor of polio, he has a history of difficult falls and “sustained a concussion and a cracked rib in a fall in Washington this year,” causing him to spend six weeks away from the Senate.

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky has been released from the hospital and will do physical therapy at an in-patient facility, the lawmaker’s communications director David Popp said in a statement on Monday.

Popp noted last week that McConnell had been hospitalized and was being treated for a concussion after tripping — but in the new statement on Monday, Popp noted that the Republican lawmaker had also suffered a rib fracture.

“Leader McConnell’s concussion recovery is proceeding well and the Leader was discharged from the hospital today. At the advice of his physician, the next step will be a period of physical therapy at an inpatient rehabilitation facility before he returns home,” Popp noted in the Monday statement. “Over the course of treatment this weekend, the Leader’s medical team discovered that he also suffered a minor rib fracture on Wednesday, for which he is also being treated.”

“The Leader and Secretary Chao are deeply thankful for the skilled medical care, prayers, and kindness they have received,” Popp added. (Read more from “McConnell Staffer Reveals Injury the Lawmaker Suffered Last Week” HERE)

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Hospitalized

/0 Comments/in , /by

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was rushed to the hospital on Wednesday evening after falling during a dinner.

“This evening, Leader McConnell tripped at a local hotel during a private dinner,” a spokesperson for McConnell said. “He has been admitted to the hospital where he is receiving treatment.”

No other information was provided. The 81-year-old senator is a polio survivor and has, at times, had issues with balance and sometimes needs to use rails to assist him in walking.

In 2019, McConnell suffered a fractured shoulder after he tripped and fell at his home in Kentucky.

McConnell’s hospitalization comes as Sens. John Fetterman (D-PA) and Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) have both been hospitalized in recent weeks. (Read more from “Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell Hospitalized” HERE)
