Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze for about 30 seconds on Wednesday while speaking with reporters after a speech in Covington, Kentucky.
The incident is similar to an episode McConnell experienced at the US Capitol late last month and is likely to raise additional questions about the fitness of the 81-year-old to lead the Senate Republican caucus.
Wednesday’s episode occurred when a reporter asked the Republican leader if he was planning to run for reelection in 2026. McConnell had to ask him to repeat the question several times, chuckled for a moment, and then paused.
Someone at his side then asked him, “Did you hear the question, senator, running for reelection in 2026?” McConnell did not respond.

Quick reminder about the rules around wishing death and destruction on people.
Don’t make me tap the sign.
That being said, yes, McConnell is one of the key architects of how dysfunctional our system of government has become. From using the filibuster more times during the Obama administration than all prior administrations COMBINED, to blocking a legitimately named Supreme Court Justice, not by allowing him a fair vote, but by denying him a hearing AT ALL.
BUT…
Now hear me out… BUT…
He does have three daughters, Porter, is actually an activist:

You can make fun of the guy, you can hate the guy, but before you wish death on the guy, take just a moment to consider his family and how they must feel watching him break down like this live on camera, not once, but twice.
I’m sick of all this be the better person shit.
When he dies the world will be a better place. If he had died 10 years ago our world would be indistinguishable.
Fuck Mitch McConnell AND his family.
Beatrix Kiddo said it best:
When a person’s actions causes death to groups, don’t judge those groups for wishing death in return.
Well that is a fucking ice cold take and a half. Takes a lot to willfully look at the record of Mitch McConnell, who has had a significant part in setting socioeconomic progress in this country back 50 years, and say that his decline and public embarrassment is somehow something I should at all feel sad about.
I’m not asking you to feel sad, I’m asking you to recognize that as awful he is, he’s still a human being and has other human beings who, in theory, care about him.
He doesn’t think I’m a human being, so I will give him the same respect in turn.
Fuck that rule.
As a human being, I feel great empathy for the man and his family. I wish him nothing but the best in health and family life and am saddened to see his decline. But was someone 100% opposed to his politics I will fight endlessly to destroy both his works and his legacy even as he has worked to destroy democracy as we’ve come to know it.
Everything he did might as well be codified at this point. There is no fighting and reversing his damage. That fight is over.
Mitch is the reason for; Trump, Kavanaugh, and Comey. He’s stonewalled every and any bipartisan suggestions for years, simply because D.
Rescind your empathy. This coward has activity taken everything from you and your family.
He deserves to lose it all to the void.
No man is an island entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as any manner of thy friends or of thine own were; any man’s death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind. And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
