Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze again Wednesday, this time during a gaggle with reporters in Covington, Kentucky, stopping for more than 30 seconds after he was asked if he would run for re-election.
The Kentucky Republican froze in July at a news conference on Capitol Hill, going silent for 19 seconds before being escorted away from the cameras. McConnell, 81, returned shortly afterward and continued his news conference, telling reporters, “I’m fine.”
When it became apparent that McConnell had frozen again on Wednesday, an aide came up to him and asked, “Did you hear the question, senator?” McConnell continued to be unresponsive.
Reminds me of John McCain.
The SOB knew he was dying long before the public found out and still voted 100% with Trump, like a real piece of shit.

I don’t think it was even a matter of healthcare, but that he disagreed with the procedural rules that had been used to bring it to a vote. Normally that’s small potatoes and not praiseworthy, but there’s something to be said about denying Trump and other Republicans a win not because you disagree with the actual bill, but to tell Trump and McConnell to go fuck themselves. Republicans haven’t had the numbers to repeal it ever since.
Except not true
I’m not saying he gets a pass, but he was closer to the Democrat’s “vote with Trump” number than most of the rest of the republicans.
