Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear sharply criticized Senator Mitch McConnell and the Senate at large over the Kentucky Republican’s prolonged absence from Congress due to health issues.

Beshear, a Democrat, said on Friday that he still had little information about the condition of McConnell, who was hospitalized in mid-June and released from a rehabilitation center earlier this month.

“I’ve received absolutely nothing, and that’s the same that the people of Kentucky have received,” Beshear told MS Now. “This is why the Senate feels broken. These guys don’t think that they have a boss when the people of Kentucky are their boss. They don’t feel like they are accountable whatsoever.”

Beshear called on McConnell to make a video or call into a news show to update the public about his health.

    None whatsoever, legally speaking, bootlicker. Less legal codes bind a sitting senator and define their duties than the executive has ignored and broken, and the judicial has ignored precedent on.

    Because we’re in rule by law, and not rule of law.

    This is the time in history books when people like you tend to either be ignored, or be pushed against a wall, depending on which side you’re bleating for.

    Kindly shut the fuck up.

      To be clear, I’m suggesting it’s unwise to complain that a representative (the governor) isn’t abusing their power.
