Political Group Places McConnell 'Missing Person' Posters Around DC
The posters mock McConnell’s health-related absence, with the group saying he has not voted or appeared in the Senate for more than a month.
- On Wednesday, the Save America Movement distributed 'Missing' posters of Senator Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., throughout Washington, D.C. The flyers feature a photo of the 84-year-old in a hospital bed, criticizing his prolonged absence from Congress.
- Since his June 14 fall, McConnell has remained hospitalized, developing pneumonia. His office stated on Monday the senator is undergoing physical therapy but has not yet been medically cleared to return to work.
- The flyers claim the senator is '84 years old' and 'tortoise-like,' alleging he has failed to represent four-and-a-half million constituents. Aides have consistently declined to answer questions regarding his specific health status or potential return date.
- In a letter sent Monday, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear demanded that McConnell 'directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign.' Other lawmakers have questioned the transparency of his recovery.
- Medical experts and former officials have voiced skepticism regarding released photos, fueling questions surrounding his health. Despite official statements from his office, McConnell's prolonged absence continues to fuel speculation about his future in the Senate.
