Realizing they had to do something as rumors keep spreading that Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell is not thinking clearly, top Republican leaders have made statements saying they called McConnell today and talked with him — about the same subjects for the same amount of time.
Kentucky commentator Scott Jennings, who works for CNN and is known for making big talk, tweeted that “I spoke to my old friend Mitch McConnell this morning, the senior Senator from Kentucky.
He’s still in the hospital recovering.We talked for almost 20 minutes… about IRAN, UKRAINE, the situation in MAINE, my visit to the TR Presidential Library, and even a little bit of Senate history.I told him we want to see him back at work as soon as possible.”
Senate Majority Whip John Barasso had a staff member tell the media that “Senator Barasso and Senator McConnell had a long conversation early this afternoon.
Their phone call lasted about 20 minutes…Senator McConnell was fully engaged and is eager to return to the Senate.”
Senate Majority Leader Thune’s office said, “Leader Thune spoke with Sen.
McConnell yesterday by phone.They had a long and meaningful conversation that covered a variety of topics, including national security.”
So if he’s having these long discussions about complex issues for 20 whole minutes… why haven’t we seen any sign that he’s getting better?
Why can’t he just record a video explaining that, as Thune claimed, he is “fully engaged and is eager to get back to the Senate?”
Or is this just a ridiculous situation like the movie Weekend At Bernie’s, where the top leaders of the Republican Party are involved?
