For America’s lawmakers, seniority has long meant power and prestige but now it might also be a political liability. Senate Minority Leader McConnell froze during a news conference and Senator Feinstein appeared confused during a committee meeting, leading to growing concerns over their age. NBC News’ Peter Alexander reports.

Turtles can live for a long time. I’m guessing he saw a threat and receded into his shell.
This is what you jerkoff’s are talking about but not the president stealing money and embezzling money from other countries. Great job.
0:26 The woman in green turned him off 😂
not leaders , criminals against the american people
and Newa reporters
😡 No offense, but you can get sick (have a stroke; heart attack; dementia) at ANY age, it is not reserved for the elderly. 🤷♀️
If they keep the same elderly Republicans and Democrats in office, it's not going to be the 118th Congress figuratively in age but literally 😳😳. Just a few more votes to go.
Term limits. Get 'em replaced before they're owned by outside parties. Politices should NOT be a family business – stay in office until you die and replaced by a family member.
just pull there caskets back in there and put them back to work
It’s a shame American standing for a spech get a stroke and in the 80 and brain swell and still want to judge people Biden should retired let people in the 50 do a real job not old brain that swolen
senile senators
SPARKS? YALL…..WEVE BEEN "CONCERNED" FOR DECADES. how about you come down from your horses and do a little real reporting.
We need term limits & age limits. This is completely ridiculous.
Who is that woman in the green that touched Mitch right before he froze up? Creepy AF like a power off button was hit. 😮
While we are at it, get the Frankenstein's Monster Festerman from PA out of office. We should've not voted these mentally incapable individuals in office.
Why did he have trump on that list
These Man needs to let go, and rest. He looks very Ill. God Blessed him!
They’re too old. This is just pathetic
Term and age limits.
This is sad, he's gonna continue..if this were Biden the GOP would be pulling their eye's out..Diana should retire too
I'm GOP .. time for Mitch .. to GO !
Corrupt clowns in both parties passing power. They don't deserve any respect from Americans.
We need to vote out anyone over 65. Force them to retire! Ridiculous.
It's like when a person on the highway driving slow when their 90
Let someone else hold that sit sometime what is he going to die in that sit
It’s not the age. It’s the health.
Nobody born before the invention of the microwave should be allowed to hold office
McConnell's 20 second freeze was the GOP's proudest moment! For the first time in recorded history, the GOP went 20 ENTIRE SECONDS without lying! ✝️😈
Moscow Mitch knows it's all over with for the GOP. That was a freeze of reality.
what's the meaning of "what's that leave us with?" on 2:05
Old McTurtle for the nursing home 2023.
People keep voting for these fossils. This is the voter's fault.
age limits accept it and retire this goes for feinstein and biden
McConnell has been brain dead for years. Reserve him a room next to Biden.
