Sen. Mitch McConnell Spotted At U.S. Capitol In Wheelchair, Refuses To Answer Questions On SAVE Act

[Conservative Angle]

​

Senator Mitch McConnell’s health appears to still be in decline.

On Thursday, a reporter approached Senator Mitch McConnell at the Capitol and asked him, “Can you give us any information on why you blocked the SAVE Act?”

McConnell, who was being pushed in a wheelchair by a staffer, declined to answer any questions.

The reporter followed up on the question by asking McConnell for his thoughts on Rep. Tim Burchett’s claim that his office is being controlled by his staffers.

Take a look:

As he’s wheel chaired around he has a blank vacant stare. It’s like he can’t even comprehend what’s being asked

This isn’t the first time McConnell has been in a wheelchair.

Last week, he was spotted being pushed around the Capitol by staffers, too.

The New Republic has reported that McConnell has refused to schedule a vote for the election integrity legislation:

Senator Mitch McConnell appears to be stalling the voting bill backed by President Trump, and fellow Republicans are not happy.

McConnell, who leads the Senate Rules Committee, is refusing to schedule a vote on the legislation, thus preventing it from moving forward. The bill would create barriers for voting, requiring specific forms of ID in order for Americans to exercise their constitutional right.

In blocking it, the retiring senator and former majority leader has drawn the ire of his colleagues. Representative Tim Burchett posted a video on X Friday saying McConnell’s actions are partially coming from a place of “meanness” because he doesn’t like Trump, and called his mental acuity into question.

“He’s blocking the SAVE Act, or is he? Is it him or a staff member, because as you know, he’s a lot like Joe Biden was in his last few days in office, or last years in office,” Burchett said. “His cognizant level is diminishing daily.”

Burchett went on a tangent about how much of Congress is run by staffers because certain aging members of Congress have diminishing mental capacity, citing the case of Representative Kay Granger, the former House Appropriations Committee chair who disappeared for months in 2024 and was later found to be living in an independent living facility.

Mitch McConnell appears to be receiving full time health care on the job.
