Mitch McConnell's health episode, we'll call it from this past week, where he once again
froze up. Actually in the most ironic part when reporters were asking him if he was gonna
run again for office. And just like last month, his, his whole body just shut down. He couldn't
speak, he couldn't move. He was just standing there like a robot that had run out of batteries
until, of course they had to shuffle him away the next day. By the way, the capitol's attending
physician said, Nope, Mitch McConnell's all clear, totally fine. He can go back to work.
I didn't see any problems. So that's that. Right. Well, apparently that answer is actually
not good enough for Republicans in the Senate. And according to new reports, these Senate
Republicans want to hold a special meeting when they return next week or actually this
week, uh, to talk about Mitch McConnell's failing health like this guy is clearly not
well.
'cause not only was he freezing up in that video, but you could see that his skin was
as pasty white as humanly possible. He also looks like he's lost about 50 pounds. Something
is wrong with him in a very bad way. Medical experts on tv, uh, including one on Fox News.
Granted they haven't physically examined him, but they all talked about the fact that this
is, you know, you see this in Parkinson's patients, so that is a possibility. It could
be something far worse. 'cause the weight loss thing is definitely, uh, you know, cause
for concern. Any medical expert will tell you, sudden rapid weight loss is never good.
But that's what we're seeing with him. So Republicans in the Senate are like, look,
we gotta do something. And hey, kudos to Republicans for finally admitting that the problem they
have is that they're not gonna do anything because they can't, even with Mitch McConnell
appearing to be on death's doorstep, those Republicans cannot function without him.
This man has been their leader in that body for decades. You look back over the last 20
years at every horrific piece of Republican legislation that has been passed, and you
will see Mitch McConnell's fingerprints all over it. When you look at the judges that
Republicans have appointed to the federal bench, and of course to the US Supreme Court,
Mitch McConnell's, the guy behind all of it. I mean, let's not forget, he's the guy who
held up Scalia's vacancy so that Barack Obama couldn't appoint a judge every like the worst
things of the last 20 years. Mitch McConnell has been the guy spearheading that for Republicans.
All the tax cuts, all of it, that's Mitch McConnell, but more importantly for Republicans.
And Mitch McConnell, by the way, is actually good at making deals. He gets Democrats to
back down on certain issues. He gets Democrats to go along with his horrific judicial picks.
So yeah, he knows how to play the
Game and he knows how to win the game. That's what makes him so dangerous. There's no other
Republican in that body that can do that, and that's good for Democrats. It's terrible
for Republicans, especially when you consider the fact that Mitch McConnell happens to be
the top fundraiser for Republicans in the Senate, and they're leading Super pac, which
is the Senate Leadership Fund, is tied directly to him. Now, the Republican party is already
having trouble raising money. The R N C only has a little under $12 million in the bank.
They can't raise crap right now. And if Mitch McConnell cannot go out there and raise money
for these Senate Republicans, then they're gonna lose their last best shot to take back
the Senate in next year's election. Steve Daines, who's running the fundraising op for
the Senate right now, has already been on record saying, if we don't win back the Senate
next year, we won't even have a chance to do it again till the year 2030. So these Republicans,
they can have the meetings all they want, but it's not gonna be about ousting. Mitch
McConnell from leadership, they're gonna be talking about how they can prop him up weekend
at Bernie style and make it seem like, Hey, he's still good to go. We're just kind of
moving his arms and making him go to fundraisers so we can have the money they can't afford.
They literally can't afford to oust Mitch McConnell because that will spell certain
doom for the Republican party.
