McConnell insists his health is 'just fine,' declines to explain photos showing bruised hands

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) declared his health is “just fine” Tuesday as he declined to explain photographs last week showing his hands bruised and bandaged.

The 78-year-old dismissed the issue as a media fixation, despite his own history of health issues related to his heart and a serious fall last year that left him out of the public eye for five weeks.

“I can just tell you that I’m just fine. And I can’t believe y’all have played with that all week long,” McConnell said in a telephone interview as he traveled back to Kentucky for the final week of a reelection campaign in which he is asking voters for a seventh, six-year term.

McConnell, who overcame polio at a young age, suffered a fall in early August 2019 that he blamed on an old tennis shoe as he walked out of his home in Louisville, suffering a fractured shoulder that required follow-up surgery and weeks of physical therapy. He spent that entire stretch at home, missing several fundraisers around the nation and planned events in his state during a long congressional break.

He wore a shoulder brace for several weeks when he returned to Washington that September, and ever since aides have warned reporters and photographers about getting too close to the leader when he walks to and from his office toward the Senate chamber.

1. These are the normal side effects of the "dark arts"

It's a price he is willing to pay.

2. Mitch is

Full of it. You do not have hands like that with out something serious going on. It was not just his hands either. His mouth had big blue spots.

I also read he had a triple by pass a few years ago..

[smirkymonkey]

3. Yeah. That's why he looks like a 3-day old cadaver.

[doc03]

4. Maybe he is turning black, has he been given any blood transfusions lately?

Just thinking about the time Archie Bunker got blood from Sammy Davis Jr.

5. He's in a blue state

(for once ...)

6. How is he doing in the campaign? Losing, I hope.

I would suspect foul play if he ended up winning. He is an evil person and probably has a lot of people in Kentucky who would "take care" of him in many ways.

7. I don't care. Hundreds of thousands are dead.

His hands are a silly distraction.
Vote.

8. just stop

lying just retire you have stole enough money from your constituents and us.

Fuck you Mitch, burn in hell.

[Budi]

9. McConnell insists his health is 'just fine,'

"Really, I insist I'm just fine"

10. So, in other words, people are right to suspect he is ill.

Because, he's as much a liar as is Trump. Has he been getting convalescent plasma infusions, and whatever other drug cocktail Trump is on? Or, is it some other affliction?

11. I'm going with his Russian handlers beat the shit out of him.
