Senator Mitch McConnell’s medical condition remains unknown, and his office won’t address questions
about the former Senate majority leader being “brain dead.”
HuffPost’s Jennifer Bendery reached out to McConnell’s staff Tuesday about the speculation. A day earlier,
far-right influencer Laura Loomer and independent journalist Desirée Townsend, who first flagged the EMS
call to McConnell’s home that revealed he was unconscious, declared that the Kentucky senator is “officially
brain dead.” Bendery said the senator’s staff did not confirm or deny the report, instead directing her
to a week-old statement that doesn’t clarify McConnell’s condition.
