Mitch McConnell's photo doesn't stop conspiracy theories [View all]
Social media users have been asserting their suspicions over the photo Senator Mitch McConnell released on Facebook on Sunday, breaking a prolonged silence that had led to notable speculation about his health.
The Kentucky Republican, aged 84, shared the photo of what appears to be him sat in a hospital chair with a newspaper, next to his wife Elaine. He wrote that a fall, and a “mild case” of pneumonia, had resulted in his weeks-long hospital stay.
However, some X users have said they believe the image is generated with artificial intelligence (AI), sparking a widely circulating conspiracy about the photo.
McConnell’s hospitalization on June 14 had sparked intense scrutiny. At the time, his office only said that he was receiving “excellent care” and recovering, but as weeks passed without notable updates, speculation mounted, particularly given the senator’s age and his previous health struggles.
