Republican Rep. Marlin Stutzman made the eyebrow-raising statement on NewsNation after being bluntly asked if he believes McConnell, 84, is dead.
“You know, just the things that I’ve heard and seen from some friends is that he’s obviously not doing well, but don’t know if he’s alive or has passed away,” Stutzman said.
Stutzman, who represents northeast Indiana, slammed the secrecy surrounding McConnell’s three-week hospitalization. He demanded answers from the McConnell team, which is led by his longtime, camera-shy aide, Terry Carmack, who is set to earn more than $226,000 this year.

This is the MOST Transparent government on the UNIVERSE OF HISTORIES!
-Alpha Republicans!
The old fuck is dead! Everyone knows it! The Cons just don’t want anyone to check before August so that there won’t be a Special Election.
Undercover journalism and dems looking for the spotlight have a great opportunity here. Just saying.
Could the governor just call for the snap election to replace him and stop the GOP from obviously attempting to fuck over the midterms? If they say “you’re not allowed to do that, he’s still alive and fit for service”, call their bluff and say that McConnell can walk into the governor’s office and say it himself
If he’s dead, and I hope with all my heart that he is, if his staff are still getting paid, is that not fraud?
Nope, it’s only fraud if the libs do it. Otherwise it’s freefom-funding
How atypical of them! 🫡
He’s DEFINITELY dead.
There’s no way they don’t try their very best to keep it secret until the deadline, pretend that ot just happened, and then stop even pretending after the election.
Not recovering, almost certainly, dead is another matter. Modern medicine can do an insane job of keeping someone “alive” long past the point their body has given out. Particularly when money isn’t a factor.
My guess is that he’s either brain-dead, but kept “alive” by machines, or wishes he was brain-dead, while being kept in pain by machines.
Personally I like the latter.
We should only be so lucky
I’m pretty sure he has the standard lawmaker clause in his will that of they don’t Weekend at Bernies IV: Wrath of Cancun him then he becomes a vampire, or possibly wolfman if it’s direct to video.
Schrödinger’s Senator
Pfft, we wish there was a box he’d stay in!
Traditionally, a certain wooden one, in fact.
He looks like Garry Oldman as Mason Verger in Hannibal
I was blown away when I learned he was mason verger. Granted I’d seen the movie a long time before I knew who gary oldman was but that character has stuck around with me through the years
I read the book first and really liked it. But I was also a lot younger, so I don’t know if it’s all that good of a book or movie
Same. Oldman is fantastic.
The Riz must have revoked his immunity.
He looks like the feast monster from Pan’s Labyrinth.
My guess is he’s unconscious and being kept alive by machines.
Yeah when they say they talked to him that’s not exactly a lie because it’s like talking to your plant. No one can prove you didn’t
I wasn’t sure 10 years ago, I thought it was common knowledge he was a ghoul now
Just keep saying he’s dead, because likely he is in some capacity. If you’re in KY, call your governor and pressure him to put an ultimatum out that they present he is alive and conscious to do his duties or he is considered incapable of such and hold an election to immediately replace him.
This is a trial run for when Trump kicks the bucket.
He’s so dead
Truth is, he’s been a literal undead ghoul animated by necromatic magic for decades and now they are keeping him in Area 51 for study after discovering this.
