After a weird incident on Wednesday in which he froze mid-sentence during a news conference and had to be taken out, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is reportedly attempting to dismiss worries about his health.
When asked if the incident was connected to a concussion he had in a fall earlier this year, the longtime Kentucky senator responded, “No, I’m good.
McConnell had been discussing the proposed military funding plan at the news conference for the Senate Republican leadership.
“We’re on a path to finishing the [National Defense Authorization Act],” McConnell said in opening his remarks. “This week has been good bipartisan cooperation and a string of a…”
As the awkward pause dragged on, he persisted in standing at the microphone, his body swaying slightly as he kept his mouth shut. Finally, colleagues came over, inquired about his well-being, and advised him to return to his office.
McConnell turned and began to shuffle away while remaining mute.
Later, when asked by a reporter how he was doing, he replied, “Fine.”
The reporter followed up, “You’re fine? You’re fully able to do your job?”
“Yeah,” McConnell replied.
An assistant to Senator Mitch McConnell, according to CNN, said the 81-year-old “felt lightheaded and stepped away for a moment.”
The aide quickly added, “He came back to handle Q and A, which as everyone observed was sharp,” though.
McConnell appeared to be doing better in a follow-up video that Scripps News Service reporter Nathaniel Reed shared on social media.
SENATE MINORITY LEADER MCCONNELL: “The President called to check up on me and I told him I got sandbagged”

He even made a joke, adding, “The President called to check up on me and I told him I got sandbagged.” He might have been alluding to a recent event in which President Joe Biden stumbled over a sandbag on a stage and fell during commencement exercises at the U.S. Air Force Academy, or he might have been using the definition of the word “sandbagged,” as in smacked or shocked, as if with a sandbag.
McConnell disregarded a reporter’s question about whether he had seen a doctor since the incident, the Washington Post reported.
“I’m fine. That’s the important part,” McConnell responded.
According to Politico, McConnell has been a senator from Kentucky the longest. He was elected in 1984.
CNN noted that while he is up for reelection in 2026, he “has repeatedly declined to say if he will run for another term or try to run for GOP leader again in the next Congress, which begins in 2025.”

Ok, this may sound off-topic but it really isn’t.
Who else is sick and tired of the woke agenda being shoved down our throats every day?
You know what makes it even worse is that we are funding it with our dollars.
Yep, and it stinks.
Every day we are fighting the culture war that is destroying our nation and when we go to the store we are funding it with our dollars.
However, it doesn’t have to be that way and I am so excited to find alternatives.
The only “catch”?
It’s Invite only.
Good thing you know someone that has the invites….(me!).
Yep! I would not make a suggestion if I wasn’t going to hook you up.
If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite, just go here and tell them SASSY sent you:
It’s the real deal for sure, and since it is invite only and does not run like other corrupt conglomerates they may have the SHUT OFF invites if they grow too fast.
We need to stop sending our dollars to the corporations that hate us and want to see us gone!
Remember the Georgia Guidestones?
They literally told us they wanted to reduce us from 8 billion people on Earth down to only 500 million.
No big deal, right?
Just an elimination of 94% of all people living right now.
And yet we continue to shop at their big stores and send them our money because until now we’ve had little choice.
Well, today that changes.
It’s time to “ditch and switch” and change where you send your dollars each month.
What if I told you instead of sending your money to Jeff Bezos and Costco and Walmart, you could shop at the LAST pro-America, freedom-loving, American designer, manufacturer, and shipper of all the stuff you buy each month?
Oh, and what if I told you the products are BETTER and often CHEAPER?
Yes, for real.
And what if I told you this is the best-kept secret you’ve never heard of before, but that this company has been doing this for the last 37 years?
And their founder was once placed on Barack Hussein Obama’s list of the Top 10 most “Dangerous Conservatives” in America?
(a list I one day hope to make myself!)
All of that is real and I’m so excited to tell you about it and I hope you’ll join the MISSION with me.
Here’s a quick summary of this company that I’m so excited to now be partnered up with on this mission:
Sound good to anyone else?
Me too!
I can get you in, but you can’t just go sign up.
They only want people on the same mission to join and they’re happy to say “no” to the Far-Left Libs!
They’ve been doing it for 37 years and it’s been working great.
Oh, and did I mention the products are non-toxic and don’t have all the chemicals and crap like Red Dye 40 that all the Big Corporations put in their products to weaken you?
To wear you down?
To make you — and your family — sick?
Because then when you get sick you’ll buy their drugs!
Sorry folks, I don’t play that game and neither does my family.
We’re talking about the LAST all-natural, grass-fed, no hormone, massive beef cattle ranch in the United States….
Sound good?
We’re talking Fluoride Free Toothpaste, chemical-free cleaners, and Deet-free mosquito repellant!
What novel concepts, right?
Stop sending your money to these 11 corporations that do NOT have your best interest at heart:
It’s an ILLUSION of choice.
There’s only one pro-American, American-made and manufactured, chemical-free, toxin-free, hormone-free, company left….and I’m teaming up with them to FIGHT BACK!
As I said, it’s Invite Only and the invite is entirely free!
In fact, I’ve assembled a team of patriots who will personally get you invited and signed up….if you want in.
Folks, we don’t have many strongholds left.
This is one.
And I’m all in.
If you’d like to find out more and get a FREE personal invite, just go here:
Tell them Sassy sent you and I promise you will get a personal call or text. If you want an email make sure you use one where one of the team members can get in touch with you.
Don’t freak out when you do.
And make sure you tell them you are interested in the Black Angus beef!
I know I tend to get concerned when I get messages from numbers I don’t recognize, but if you request a Free Invite (Link here: you WILL have someone from my Inner Circle reach out to you….so be ready!
These are awesome people and I think you’ll love getting a chance to talk with them.
And they’ll help get you all set up.
Who’s with me?
