It turns out ole' Mitch is in a tight spot, and the GOP are doing everything they can to avoid having to run a special election to replace him, fearing that a certain Thomas Massie might decide to run.

So they're pulling out all the stops to make it sound that he's not so far gone that they're legally required to do it.

'McConnell Has Been Hospitalized for 3 Weeks, and Aides Won’t Say Why'

"Senator Mitch McConnell, Republican of Kentucky and the former majority leader, was hospitalized on June 14. Since then, his office has provided few updates about his condition.

The scant official statements have led to speculation around Washington and efforts to piece together information on what happened."

So shortly after MAGA influencer Laura Loomer suggested Mitch McConnell was in a vegetative state several high-ranking GOP pols claimed they had all talked to him, roughly at the same time and all talking about the same things. But not scripted at all, no Siree! And suggestions that they had communicated via an Ouija board were forcefully denied.😂

The GOP behaving like a communist cadre surrounding the fitting flesh of their leaders.

Remember Loyd Austin? Wasn't everything just much better when he and other grownups were in charge, and you didn't have to wake up every day to headlines about Stupids doing stupid s**t?

But I digress. Sec of Def failed to notify the WH for 3 days after doing some minor medical stuff and go reamed. Old Mitch has been AWOL for 3 WEEKS, and from the WH, crickets.

Nobody does hypocrisy like the Repubs.

Nobody.

The Babylon Bee has a humorous take on the situation and says...

"Nurses at Mitch McConnell's hospital bedside say they've yelled into his ears, "There's a Black president trying to fill a Supreme Court vacancy!" and he didn't stir at all."
