Sen. Mitch McConnell has been hospitalized for an undisclosed medical issue, according to a spokesperson.
The 84-year-old was admitted to a hospital Sunday morning and “is receiving excellent care,” his office said.
It wasn’t immediately made public why he was taken to the hospital.
McConnell has suffered a series of health issues in recent years and was hospitalized for eight days in February for flu-like symptoms.
I don’t even really understand why people like that cling to power the way they do.
They’re literally dying on the job. Don’t they want to retire? Spend their money a bit?
They’re not even a dictator where everyone and their mother will come after the scraps of the kingdom when they show weakness.
These people are basically retired. Their primary activity is fundraising, which is talking to the same few hundred people for the last 30 years. Helping constituents is handled by the office, so are policy decisions. They actually work for a few days a quarter, and the perks more than compensate for it.
It’s not just a job anymore, it’s their entire identity. We all work with people like this at some point. The job is all they are, they have nothing else outside of that. Add the control fetish so many of them have and they cannot leave.
