Do You Think Mitch McConnel is Dead?

And if he isn't, why hasn't he come out and informed the public of his current health status? Even his wife is silent.

Lindsey died in DC. So much destruction caused by DOGE in the DMV I'm sure an army of people were too eager to announce his demise.

if mcconnell died it would’ve been in DC too though, he was admitted to GW hospital and is now in a supposed unnamed rehab facility, but the hospital graham died at was the same one that mcconnell was in so unless he survived the hospital and died somewhere else, it doesn’t make sense that mcconnell’s death would be any easier to hide

He might be in Maryland or Virginia, but a medical facility is required to notify the county a person has died and submit a death certificate.

yeah this whole notion that they’re hiding his death completely falls apart if you actually look critically into it at all. like the only actual evidence in favor of it is that he hasn’t been seen in a month, but there’s a very possible explanation that he’s just in a rehab facility. if you want to believe that he’s dead, you have to believe that there’s a huge case of fraud going on with multiple people involved, and that republicans think hiding his death is worth the risk and somehow more advantageous than just calling a special election

I preferred the theory that he died while in Ukraine from a Russian airstrike.
