Update: Mitch McConnell Slurs and Mumbles His Way Through a Statement In the Senate

I'm so sick of these corporate cuck rinos and their mean girls club.

Sen. Mike Rounds (R-S.D.) said Sunday that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is "perfectly capable" of continuing his work after freezing for the second time during a press conference last week.

"I spoke with Mitch yesterday afternoon ... and he said he was in good shape," Rounds told host Dana Bash on CNN's "State of the Union."

Rounds said McConnell told him that after sustaining a concussion in March, he was warned of possible lightheadedness in the future and to stay aware of it.

This wasn't lightheadedness. This was absence.

...

"Mitch is sharp and he is shrewd. He understands what needs to be done. I'll leave it up to him as to how he wants to discuss that with the American public. I will leave it up to him as to how he wants to discuss that with American public. But there's no doubt in my mind that he is perfectly capable of continuing on at this stage of the game," Rounds said.

"We all understand that he's good, he's good for our party and he sees the long road ahead," Rounds said. "At this stage of the game, I think he'll continue on."

As is being pointed out a lot lately, this kind of in-your-face gaslighting is deliberately humiliating. They know it's a lie, and they know you know it's a lie -- but they're going to use their power to make you confess the lie.

Update: Mitch McConnell reads a statement. He notes that his state of health has been noted, but doesn't rebut claims that he's unwell.
