  1. His McAfee scanner kicked off during business hours.

  2. He just was remembering his times as butler of Samuel Adams in the Independence war.

  3. Y’all are blind he got poked with something

  4. Who was the A hole who kept interrupting?

  5. and his calling out sleepy Joe for being old😂😂😂

  6. Looks like he's finished!!!!

  7. "I'm fine." How do you measure that? I've seen people in a funeral home look better than he does.

  8. Haven looks pale he has no color about him he's not looking well he's under stress get him out of there

  9. The man is up in age and he's under a lot of stress

  10. Didn’t go to the Hospital like a normal human would. He’s worried we’re about to discover his Mothership

  11. when someone gets that decrepit its time to hang up the towel

  12. Won't he do it ?… 😂

  13. I'm sorry but Mitch McConnell does not look right and does not look healthy

  14. I don't know what a mini stroke is I just heard the term….. but what just happened is consistent with the word mini-stroke I think…. let's pray for him and worry about it later

  15. if you look at the wall in the background and his face, the collor is similar and its green.

  16. Close to rip and saw jesus looked……black

  17. Did they forget to charge him last night ??

  18. Reptilian brain issues

  19. reminds me alot of biden

  20. It is not feeling lightheaded. Not sure why NBC left leaning would try to defend a republican. Anyways what he experienced is called an absence seizure. This is a classic case where the person having the episode will stare blankly into the distance as we saw in this case. There are many causes for this.

  21. Sorry but could you imagine if this had happened to Biden? Democrats are just kinder😢

  22. MK Ultra Program Error!!!

  23. Poor guy, he looks like a baby filling up his diaper.

  24. Get that casket ready!!!

  25. God bless him. He needs to retire. He is too old for office.

  26. Seems like this was an episode of TIA from possible Atherosclerosis with plaques in the arteries going to the brain! Very common amongst the elderly who have been eating the usual American diet.
    There are Doctors like Caldwell Esselstyn Dean Ornish and Dr Mcdougall etc etc who advocate very strict vegan diet for reversal of atherosclerosis.
    Reversal is possible.
    But strict diet and no cigarettes.

  27. That heat ain't playing fam

  28. “Cmon Mitch you look tired, let’s go get you a juice box”

  29. He had an obvious neurological event

  30. Beyond a joke. The retirement age of 65 is there for a reason. This is a prime example why everyone needs to be retired at 65 years of age, no exceptions.

  31. The Dairy Queen Blizzard is being outsold this week by the McConnell Freeze.

  32. get this guy out of the Senate

  33. Go home mitch mcconnell

  34. To people who say he should retire. Stop electing old people! Let that be a criteria when you consider next time you vote!

  35. feel sad for America when still have many leader of this country so old ….

  36. Seriously doubt that Mitch is performing a full days work in his geriatric stage of life, but he sure is getting paid for a full days work on the tax payer’s dime. Why do politicians feel that they need to die in office and subject the general public to witness their mental and physical decline. It’s sick and disgusting, honestly.

  37. He’s been sick for a long time and those around him know it! They are keeping his check coming in in spite if his health! Term Limits! 😮

  38. I like how the camera zoomed in on him during his pregnant pause. They should have just let him stand there. He prob was just drop the biggest bombshell ever!
