  1. He is clearly not ok!! He needs to be placed in a nursing home with Biden!!๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜

  2. INSTANT CLASSIC KNEE-SLAPPER. Can't wait for the next senile old fool to start drooling on a live camera.

  3. This is only the beginning…let him retire gracefully and preserve his dignity.

  4. Sall good……, old Mitchie's just depositing a little stinky turtle poopy in his depends turtle undergarment. Holy crap, that was some spooky chit to witness

  5. What's the big deal? Turtles stop moving all the time.

  6. Like any republican….. "Deny… Deny… Deny." this is an example of "leadership"? OMG, We're doomed!

  7. Old fart almost croked on TV

  8. Why are you soooooo careful with your words about Moscow Mitch? And these events you mentioned, meaning they happened more then once!! Yet you are NEVER careful about your "words" towards President Biden. Mitchel looked like a melting candle something is clearly wrong with his health and for that I'm sorry. Step down it's time.

  9. Why don't you mfers ask the samething about Biden? Grill the Biden Administration. Bidens health just as bad

  10. Democrats are panicking cause Mitch is a Biden supporter and a Rhino, But dont assume you demorats can win Kentucky senate seat in the vacancy of Mitch.

  11. Who is the woman in Green, who taps him with her hand, and immediately after he completely shut down?

  12. It's time for him to retire. We need age and term limits for all three branches of government.

  13. Whats the big deal? he was just doing his Joe Biden impression!!!

  14. Can't wait to hear what republicans and fox has to say about this one….

  15. I will one day read his obituary with great delight!

  16. What caused Mitch McConnell to freeze was a demonstration of Alien Technology by the Pentagon as a reminder if you talk about classified UFO information.

  17. People over 70 should not be allowed to be anywhere in our government.

  18. If I thought for a moment he was a stoner I would just assumed he zoned out but his is no longer of sound mind.

  19. And Biden does this type of thing on a daily bases and it doesn't get any coverage even close to this. Its the hypocrisy of the media that is ripping this country to shreds ๐Ÿ˜ก

  20. 55+ should be the age limit.

  21. Trans ischemic attack. Next will be a stroke or HEART attack. Wow Mitch McConnell will be turning blue soon! ๐Ÿคค

  22. โ€œMitch McConnell freezesโ€ ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  23. Heโ€™s nothing but a puppet of the democrates

  24. Nothing but a puppet of the democrates

  25. Goodbye Mitch. I was praying that this would have happened two decades ago. Oh well. You made that same stark look that my father did when he had his mini strokes. Yep he stopped talking mid-sentence too. Goodbye old man

  26. I may not support his policies but I don't wish anyone ill health……I hope he is okay.

  27. Joe Biden does this everyday

  28. I believe it's Mitch's conscious catching up with him after decades of having none.

  29. Dementia or Alzheimer's???
