According to the NY Times, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell had been under observation since suffering a concussion during a fall on Wednesday. He also has a “minor rib fracture,” his office said. He’s off to rehab and rumor has it that he might never return.
A spokesman, David Popp, said that the lawmaker’s “concussion recovery is proceeding well” and that Mr. McConnell, 81, had been discharged from George Washington University Hospital, where he was taken after the accident at the Waldorf Astoria on Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington about 9 p.m. Wednesday.
“At the advice of his physician,” Mr. Popp added in a statement, “the next step will be a period of physical therapy at an inpatient rehabilitation facility before he returns home.”
D.C.. resident and radio host Chris Plante said on his radio show this morning that Mitch is in rehab and might never return to the Senate. That would be great news, but then, who replaces him?
We wish him good health and happiness, but not as a Senate leader.

No, I don’t wish him good health and happiness. He’s a corrupt traitor. If he successfully finishes rehab, I hope he gets struck by lightning as he walks out the door. Time for all these old corrupt bastards to go.
The only appropriate action towards Mitch is his removal. His anger towards the J6 videos indicated complicity. There is no other reason for his behavior. Even his sidekick Ernst looked concerned about his statement. Mitch gave no supporting reasons for his opinion. All he said was that some police chief… Read more »
The departure of Mitch is a required step to fix the senate. We know he has about 4 key RINOs in line to take his spot, but we need him to be gone. The senate leader or minority leader is not an official position for anything. Mitch’s power comes from… Read more »
Might be in Gitmo!
I hope he enjoys a long and excruciating decline before descending downward.
EXCELLENT Now if we could just get Mitch to take Lindsey Graham, Mitt Romney and several other Swamp Rat traitors WITH him, well we would REALLY have cause to celebrate. WeThePpl are progressing well with genuine MAGA folks in the House but, the senate is STILL a Swamp Bottom Feeder… Read more »
Keeping a balanced outlook is important. A statement like “forty years of treason” is neither accurate or balanced. While finding many of McConnell’s recent statements and positions to be unwise and certainly unhealthy for maintaining constitutional government (and he should never hold office again), it is not fair to compare… Read more »
A lot of evil was committed in the name of bipartisanship. With God’s grace, this is the end of that insufferable era. There’s a balanced outlook.
