Punchbowl News reports that the former Senate majority leader, who is retiring after his current term ends in January, lost consciousness at his Washington, D.C., home at 8:36 a.m. on June 14, before a dispatcher sent over an Advanced Life Support ambulance. Journalist Desiree Townsend posted a recording of the call from the emergency dispatcher Tuesday afternoon to X.
You know dying in office used to be notable. Assassinations, plane accidents, etc.
Our government is being turned into a hospice.
Please be dead please please please
If he weren’t, I feel like they would have said so.
Looks to me like he’s probably brain dead and on life support. We can only hope 🙏
Sort of like Stalin, eh?
Yay!
We’ve reached peak Republican when we have to demand proof of life from the hospital for a GOP senator from a state with a Dem governor.
I predict Mitch showing up to the next senate vote wearing this
Republicans would still vote for that over a Democrat
ah a wooden overcoat, excellent choice
Mitch, god is telling you to retire. Listen to her.
Don’t you dare ever assert again, ever, that God is a woman:
No woman could or would ever fuck things up this badly. God is definitely a man.
Margaret Thatcher maybe?
Ding dong the witch is dead
LOL!
They are going to Bernie him until they can be sure they’d get another republican just as malicious as he was.
Why couldn’t this have happened like, 20 years ago
How could they tell?
When asked if he enjoys having no power over the machine he helped create, he shat himself as opposed to his usual routine of pissing himself. The foul odor was a sign of distress.
At what point is it elder abuse to let him keep trying to work as a senator?
Politicians should not be working right up to the moment of death.
Clearly the work isn’t too difficult if these people are choosing not to retire. Clearly the pay and benefits (and under-the-table backroom dealing) is too sweet to pass up for a happy retirement.
I guess when you get so many days of paid vacation, healthcare, and access to billionaires bribing you with luxury vacations, who needs to retire? It’s not like they’re out there going door to door serving their constituents…
Ask Dianne Feinstein. Staffers were dragging her hand to the vote-clicker by the end, because she could barely move herself.
Kinda hard to ask her at this point.
Break out the ouija board and find her restless ghost. I refuse to believe that bitch ain’t haunting something.
Damn wasn’t he just in the hospital when they did the last vote on the housing bill?
Who would rush in such a situation?
There is no emergency in a pandemic or the McConnell household is the rule I was taught
Which will die first: the Democracy he helped kill, or his own walking corpse?
June 14th? And we only hear of this 2 weeks later?!?
What about the Kennedy Center?
What about those Trump-Epstein Files?
It was definitely reported when it happened, I remember commenting here about it
Pretty sure he had a tumble that was in the news.
Kennedy Center is unimportant.
Epstein files will come out when the country falls apart of when everyone in them is dead. Whichever comes first.
If the Kennedy Center is unimportant, then why is it still covered with a tarp?
🤞
