#SenateMinorityLeader #MitchMcConnell (R-KY) inexplicably froze during a weekly press briefing. #McConnell halted mid-sentence after stuttering a moment, then stood unblinking for almost half a minute.
Sen. #JohnBarrasso (who is also a physician) was standing next to him at the time, and asked him if he was okay and wanted to continue. McConnell left for his nearby office for a short time, then returned to answer more questions.
The 81yo #Congressman merely said he was "fine" when asked about his episode. Later, his aides claimed he was having a mild dizzy spell.
Currently, there is no information if McConnell was ever taken to a hospital afterwards.
#YouTube #video of that moment is below.
