After 66 seconds, Beshear finally utters "we hope there's a speedy recovery" for the ailing senator.Democrats are demanding that the governor press ahead with a special session to seat someone in McConnell's place.Hang on, kids. McConnell is quite alive.

After weeks of unanswered questions, McConnell's office finally released a full medical update and a photo of the senator and his wife Elaine Chao in a Washington D.C. rehab facility. The McConnell team released details of his June 14, 2026 fall and the medical diagnosis reports.Both hardcore Liberals and MAGA stalwarts tried to poke holes in the statements and the photo, claiming McConnell is dead and the photo was either a 2023 reissue or A.I. doctored.It's a reminder once again that nearly half of the population is of below average intelligence.-- synopsis written by WHAS Radio's Terry Meiners --
