McConnell Urged To Provide ‘Proof of Life’ After Hospitalization

Speculation has surrounded the health of the 84-year-old McConnell since the Kentucky senator was found unconscious and required CPR at his home in Washington, D.C., weeks ago.

McConnell’s staff has provided no significant update on his condition since he was hospitalized June 14.

The secrecy has fueled speculation that there is an effort to keep the full extent of the Republican’s condition from the public and has raised questions about whether he will be able to return to office.

On Monday night, MAGA social media user Mila Joy wondered why other senators haven’t spoken out about McConnell’s condition.

“Because they are ALL in on it together. That’s why,” Joy posted to her 571,000 X followers.

In reply, Sen. Lee posted: “Many of us aren’t speaking about Mitch McConnell’s condition because we know nothing about his condition.”

But Lee’s assessment contradicts earlier comments from Senate Majority Leader John Thune after McConnell was first hospitalized.
