McConnell Urged To Provide ‘Proof of Life’ After Hospitalization

Thune said he had spoken to the 84-year-old and that he “sounded good.”

“He wants to be back, but I’ll defer to his staff on when,” Thune said on June 15.

Popular conservative activist Laura Loomer claimed recently that sources told her that McConnell is in a “vegetative state,” dismissing Thune’s version of events.

“I was in South Dakota all week, and a Thune staffer told a source close to me and the White House that Mitch McConnell is in extreme organ failure,” Loomer posted.

Things with McConnell have gotten worse by the day.

Emergency dispatch audio indicating that an individual at McConnell’s Washington, D.C., residence suffered a reported “cardiac arrest” earlier this month has renewed questions about the former Senate Republican leader’s health and whether he will return to the Senate.

Since the reported incident, McConnell’s office has provided scant details on the former Senate GOP leader’s health condition, except to say that he allegedly “appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital.”
