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.

    Didn’t a report say the EMT’s were performing CPR?

    Im sure performing cpr on an 84 year old leaves them withou any injuries/bruising/broken ribs…

      When I was taught CPR they said that, if you do apply the needed amount of force that you will almost certainly break a rib. Ain’t no way in hell a 84 year old will survive CPR without a broken rib
