A regular Senate ritual was interrupted today by 19 seconds of silence, quickly turning to concern for the health of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell who appeared to freeze up as he began a news conference. NBC News’ Garrett Haake has the latest updates.

#NBCNews #MitchMcConnell #PressConference
Oh, HE raises health concerns….. but nothing on Biden, fetterman, or Feinstein. Ok. Got it!
He had a moment of regret for being a traitor to his country.
Term limits
His logic board fried the CPU when he said “bipartisan”. Luckily they had spare board and got him back up and running quickly
Being kept alive through necromancy is not without side effects.
As a Necromancer myself I can confirm that there are 0 side effects (Buy necromancy from me, one time payment of $99.99)
No sympathy for this absolute waste of life and detrimental to humanity clown.
USA is governed by politicians with brain damage. Explains a lot… 🇺🇸😂👍
Many Americans seem to have understandably concluded that Joe Biden has dementia based on his very public displays of confusion, aphasia, and incoherence. But the question we should actually be asking is What is going on with Joe out of public view?
Time to retire Mitch. Im sure the maga confederates will replace him with someone just as evil. Too bad the gop can’t get Charles Manson as he is deceased.
turtle freezing is a survival mechanism.
I guess he need too stay and make some more under handed slick deals inspite if his health. Mitch GO HOME. ITS WELL PASS YOUR BED TIME. JIST GO HOME PLEASE.
Just a glich in the simulation folks. Nothing to see here. Move along.
Whys mitch so shinny????
We need term limits for Congress. If you cant do the job, just leave and be done. We have congress member and a president who doesn’t even know what day of the week it is.
Everyone has “Brain Fart” moments….he is only 81 years old….he probably has another 15 years of service to Kentucky…. seat he has held since 1985 ! Obviously he is a state treasure. Mitch is just fine, relax people he aint going nowhere!
Is it medically possible that this is a continuation, or re-occurrence of the same concussion he experienced before? Do concussions ever re-appear in “flashbacks”?
That vampire is still alive? I coulda sworn he croaked already. Come on lord, help us down here. 📠
That “March Fall”, though…
So sad that so many people have hatred in their hearts instad of focusing on other things to be happy.
He forgot how this was makin him money for a second. Lost the plot.
5 seconds- passing gas. 10 seconds- sharting. 20 seconds- time for a new pair of Depends.
maybe he scarfed down a popsicle right before the conference. 🍦😵💫🍦😵💫🍦
Can we just appreciate the fact that this poor old man has a “moment” and then they just drag him back out later… weekend at Bernie’s?
Dang it, I’m gonna learn to dance fir the real thing… Hopefully soon. No sympathy for that POS.
And the leftist news channels are all tight-lipped whenever Biden has his weekly senile moments.
I thought the Senators receive lifetime pensions and healthcare services!
Seriously these guys are old I mean ancient
He’s to old to be making decisions for us!!!
It should be mandatory that a politician over 70 years old, hast to pass a cognitive test every six months
Old people unable to serve need to step down.
Does anyone have 4 AA batteries or a USB charger?
Ahhh, Karma coming to get you and It will be joyous to watch!
No mucking about, everyone in Congress, or in the Judiciary, or President or whatever, who is 65 or older are to be retired and replaced immediately. No exceptions. Once you turn 65, that’s it. Your gone, doesn’t matter who you are.
That’s a stupid idea. Any limits ought to be based on capability, and that’s for the voters to decide. Arbitrary age limits to try and compensate for voter apathy isn’t the answer.
@G. Lowenklee Well, unfortunately the USA is completely behind the times compared to the majority of the other 200+ countries on the planet that have age limits on public officials, politicians etc. No doubt the USA will continue to see its aging politicians fall over, have mini strokes, mumble away incoherently and generally be completely out of touch. There are many reasons why there is a mandatory retirement age and this “freezing” is an example why. Hopefully the said politician gets the medical treatment he now needs, as he is now likely to be medically unfit to carry on.
@Peter There aren’t 200+ fully recognized independent countries in the world, and upper age limits for high level public office positions are relatively rare in the Western world to my knowledge.
An absent seizure is a medical condition, not an age related condition, that said, certain medical conditions should definitely be disqualifying… medical conditions, not age.
Can the US get term limits already.
He’s got the Joe Biden disease. I wonder when they’ll start with the vaccinations?
Machine man
Two words: term limits. Mitch has been on the Hill so long that when he first arrived, the Dead Seas was perfectly healthy.
the speech center of his brain was hit with a concentrated microwave which can be delivered with a hand-held device
Perhaps his edible finally kicked in? LOLOLOL!
Absolutely NO empathy for this turtle-neanderthal! NONE…whatsoever.
I’m not concerned about his health.
Hmmm… 🤔 Perhaps Mister Mitch had some uncontrollable bowl movements going on down there…??? 💩
I mean… he did have that very direct and focused/concentrated gaze in his eyes, mixed in with a bit of a disgruntled or sulking-like irritable look to his face.
🤷🏻♀️🥸🤷🏻♂️
Once they took him to his office to change out for a fresh new pair of Depends, he was all good. 👍🏼
more normal people, actual normal people, and remove all the romans but 1. If youve ever said anything of that, then it being mostly occults and whatever else being there, in all 3 of them.
#DitchMitch
If it was a democrat the magas would be laughing and calling him weak.
Health concerns….. he’s done….one too many falls on his head…. perfect case for term limits on these power tripping clown’s….
This was staged. The camera man zooming in before he even stopped talking gives it away.
They just needed something to talk about besides the Bidens. That’s why every news station is spamming this.
Who is the lady in green and what is she doing? Why did she tap him with a pen? Why did she not want him to talk about this? Come on people!! Wake up!
All out of excrement to spew…he just needs some time to let it recharge.
He has always looked like a corpse to me. He ruined our country. Bye-bye Mitch
HE NEEDS TO BE SENT TO A RETIREMENT HOME, AND LOCK HIM UP IN AN EMPTY ROOM.
NO, NO….. PUT trump IN THE SAME ROOM WITH THIS GUY.
Biden has more chances of being next to him than Trump does😂 both McConnell and Biden seem to have dementia. Put them both in a retirement home where they could be best friends and play Bingo every day!😊
Mitch McConnell is in the first stages of Dementia. This will continue happening till someone close to Mitch says enough is enough.
So many need to retire. Why nothing get done same old ideas from old white men’s. For what he did to Obama, he getting what he deserve. Carma…
😂😂😂😂😂
Joe Bindon getting older too .
TIA perhaps ? Mitch knows that America is going down. Communist Mitch and Joe need to go. Quickly.
Senator Rand Paul should replace Mitch.
I am not concerned
Its time for term limits and compulsory retirement age for anyone working for any branch of government be it Municipal, City, County, State or Federal. The American people are cheated by having individuals be re-elected over and over and practically spit on their constituents. McConnell benefits from a extreme generous medical plan, yet he voted against its own constituents from having an affordable medical plan. How long can Americans tolerate these self-interest people?
Its Hiroshima time for America
Ive been America Target since my birth you communist government i know Donald Trump hated that Jenna Valentino divorced him when i was 4 yrs old she keep having black babies
That’s one sick turtle. And a SHELL of a man!😊
Anyone notice the lady in green tap his elbow then he stops talking.. bizarre
Get these seniors out of office and into a home. Fresh blood for office on both sides
He’s good enough to steal another Supreme Court Seat.
He might suffer a TIA/stroke.
This criminal old geezer needs to be in jail. Never mind resigning from the office.
if someone has to walk this geriatric person to a chair, how can anyone think this person is fit to make ANY decisions AT ALL about ANYTHING
Imagine how ballistic Ronny Jackson (and, of course, Fox News) would go if Biden had an incident like this.
Before I read the comments I can guess most say we need term limits. If so even if not, we need term limits for all three branches of government and age limits as well. He is not well enough for the job now.
His colon probably departed from his interior. He looked like my 12 year old german shepherd that looks straight ahead in deep concentration when he is leaving behind some dung.
Answered questions after he returned? From where!!! KRAMA ATTACK!
Who keeps voting this do-nothing-for- the-people back in time and time again? He’s a failure
Classic sign of stroke especially if you have mild stroke before. I hope he got check immediately. This is very dangerous esp if you’re tired, stressed-out plus there’s too much noise and hot temp. There’s already minor damage to his brain. He needs to get rest ASAP!
SWAMP FEVER
Amazing how Republicans keep harping on Biden’s age, but not a peep out of them on this tell tale incident, or the others when he fell.
Did they forget to charge him last night ??
It’s time to hang it up. He needs to retire. Biden is close in his footsteps. These people’s families need to take better care of them. 😳
What about the woman in Green?
Very sad. We will all get old someday ( God willing). I don’t agree with his politics but I still feel bad for him, he didn’t look well.
Appoint a successor assistant to the senior senators then set term limits with a runoff election at primary.
people freeze up all the time. Thats not a health issue. Its a form of stage fright nothing to make a huge deal out of.
Nah its called Karma and his demons finally got to him👍🏻
There should be a mandatory retirement age and/or term limits for politicians.
Are people laughing like they did when the President fell. 😮
ABSOLUTELY!😂😂😂
Seeing this brings me immense satisfaction. Looks like Karma finally got to him.
Happens to those with turkey neck.
Corrupted CCP spokesperson, you can go straight to your coffin now
DANGER, DANGER, DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, !! MASTER CYLINDER DOES NOT COMPUTE.
This is a SEIZURE ( not all seizures cause shaking like Epilepsy ) Will be interesting to see if the physicians can properly diagnose this. This is a nueorlogical condition and it will likley get worse without treatment.
I don’t like anything that the greedy, hateful republican conservatives have done, but I can’t make jokes about a man’s health. Besides he’s just a puppet of trump ism. Fearful of what will happen if he doesn’t walk in lock step. Inside I believe he’s a compassionate man.
It looks like to me, Mitch McConnell had a mini stroke
Hey NBC, It’s been 24 hours… any news?
Shows all the signs of gonorrhoea
Hope you take care, I am a constituent of the republican party and I hope you do complete your term of service, please recover from all you recent mishaps, I’ll pray for you!!
Biden, McConnell and Pelosi will stop falling if they only get wheelchairs like Feinstein.
Get all these geriatric reptiles out‼️
Glitch McConnell
The wicked witches and warlocks time has come…
