Mitch McConnell Hospitalized Four Weeks Ago, Just Now Decides To Update Us
KEY POINTS
- â˘Mitch McConnell addressed his hospitalization Sunday, four weeks after a fall raised health questions.
- â˘He confirmed no major injuries but was briefly unconscious and had mild pneumonia during the hospital stay.
- â˘McConnell linked his retirement decision partly to Senate dutiesâ challenges but vowed to finish his term.
Senator Mitch McConnell, the unflappable GOP turtle from Kentucky, finally broke his radio silence this Sunday about that mysterious hospital visit which happened way back roughly four weeks agoâbecause waiting that long definitely screams urgency. The man who dodged broken bones, concussions, heart attacks, strokes, tumors, and hemorrhages did confess to a brief stint of unconsciousness and a mild case of pneumonia, probably from the stress of decades in Senate leadership. McConnell, who plans to retire come January, tied his exit partially to Senate's 'demanding' nature, but reassured followers he still has 'unfinished business,' which sounds like a polite way to say, 'Donât party just yet.' The statement was surgically released by his office, proving good timing is clearly not McConnellâs strong suit.
