Mitch McConnell appears to have had another mini-stroke or severe aphasia incident at a press event:

What I want to know is, if he's now had two events in front of the cameras in as many months ... how many more is he having in private?

Man's ill, and it's much worse than the news coverage indicates.

I gotta think dude's got a tumor (presumably inoperable) given the seeming increasing frequency of events. Remember, he's had other unexplained, not publicly seen issues in the past couple years.

Finally getting a chance to look at the video from the event: dude looks like he's lost weight – the kind of "lost" that reinforces the notion that he may be ill.
