US senator Mitch McConnell on Sunday revealed for the first time that a fall led to his hospitalization, breaking the silence about the Kentucky Republican’s condition after weeks of mounting speculation about his health.

The statement included a smiling picture of McConnell with his wife, Elaine Chao, a tacit response to speculation online that he had died or was incapacitated. McConnell held a copy of Sunday’s Washington Post sports section in his hand.

        No, journalists can verify these things without video. That’s their job. That’s the difference between The Guardian and New York Post

      I meant to speak to the guardian - They accepted this bullshit at face value… This is the media being complicit…
