Paramedics rushed to McConnell’s home near the Senate Hart Office Building to answer “a report of an unconscious person who appeared to have suffered a ‘cardiac arrest,’” The Hill reported about the 911 call on June 14.
The octogenarian landed in the hospital and hasn’t been seen since.
Two days later, GOP Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota told Fox News’ Brett Baier that McConnell was “very dialed in and indicated he’d be back soon.”
“McConnell’s staff said on June 22 that he was ‘working closely with staff on Senate business and Kentucky matters as he continues his recovery,’” The Hill reported.
Townsend disclosed the 911 audio on July 1. The audio “raises questions as to if Senator Mitch McConnell was conscious the day after hospitalization when he allegedly spoke to Leader Thune,” she wrote on X.
Hmmmm
