McConnell says a fall led to his hospitalization, breaking weeks of silence about health condition

53. I feel like if the explanation was indeed this simple, that they would have made it weeks ago.

Total bullshit. I mean, come on! If this was all that was going on, Republicans would have been happy and relieved, and could have stopped the speculation. How many falls have been caught in the public venue anyway? It's not like people don't know he's dealing with age and health issues.

The photo looks "off" to me. I'm not saying it's AI. Maybe it's the angle. She appears to be kneeling beside his chair perhaps. His face and hands look swollen to me, and honestly, I've never known anyone in rehab that would wear jeans and a button down shirt. It's usually sweats, at least, which are easier to get into and out of.

The whole "she's in China" story was suspicious, too, and the newspaper? He's got a weird grip on it, or else his hand is paralyzed in that position. Very convenient... a little TOO convenient.
