Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D) called on Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) office to “end the crazy speculation” on the senator’s health Saturday — as McConnell’s office gave its first update in weeks.

Beshear posted to X on Saturday, “I publicly and privately urged the last administration to address the public’s concerns with the former president’s health. I’m calling on Sen. McConnell to do the same and provide voters an update on his own health. Let’s end the crazy speculation. Just tell us what’s going on.”

It’s the second time in a week Beshear has sought clarity from McConnell’s office about the senator: on Wednesday, the governor sent a letter to McConnell’s office saying Kentuckians had become increasingly concerned about the senator’s health and asking for an update on his current condition.

McConnell’s office gave it’s first update in weeks on the senator’s health, telling local outlet WDRB in Louisville Saturday that the politician “continues his recovery in the hospital.” “As you can imagine, we have been receiving lots of messages from folks, and as the senator continues to recover, we will be sure to keep you updated,” the spokesperson told the outlet.

1. Does McConnell have a statement on Lindsey Graham's death?

Does he fondly remember the many years they spent together trying to destroy democracy in America in the U.S. Senate? Does Sen. McConnell have condolences for the family at “this difficult time”? Did Graham speak with him for around 20 minutes yesterday?

3. ....

4. Last I heard he was bringing home a baby bumblebee, a baby, baby, baby bumblebee EXCEPT

it was a killer bee!

6. It just occurred to me

that both of these hideous people may have died after a bite from J.D. Vance infected them with rabies.

In case anybody has forgotten this story from late June, so many news cycles ago:

2. It's farcical at this point

I sure hope everyone shows up in November and gets these racist nazi fucks out of office. One way or another.

5. If all he is going to do is send out strongly worded letters,

his message is going to be dead on arrival.

7. Who is missing from the conversation is his compatriot - SPAWN of Ron Paul

Haven't heard a peep from him.

8. The McConnell family and of office NOT giving reasonable updates is not right. Period!!

[PSPS]

9. They're trying to re-animate his corpse

With Graham gone, they have to pretend McConnell is alive to keep what's left of their "majority."

10. Isn't this dereliction of duty for this insane scenario?

What are the Senate rules,if any,regarding such unverified health status?
Can constituents sue?

11. As long as it's got the RW in a royal tizzy, keep Mitch in secret on ice.

12. Why didn't he go and see him in person?

Or send an assistant to meet McConnell in person.
