McConnell was discharged from a rehabilitation center earlier this month

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear sharply criticized Senator Mitch McConnell and the Senate at large over the Kentucky Republican’s prolonged absence from Congress due to health issues.

Beshear, a Democrat, said on Friday that he still had little information about the condition of McConnell, who was hospitalized in mid-June and released from a rehabilitation center earlier this month.

“I’ve received absolutely nothing, and that’s the same that the people of Kentucky have received,” Beshear told MS Now. “This is why the Senate feels broken. These guys don’t think that they have a boss when the people of Kentucky are their boss. They don’t feel like they are accountable whatsoever.”

Beshear called on McConnell to make a video or call into a news show to update the public about his health.

    From your link:

    Essentially, as long as they have reasonable grounds to believe that an inhabitant in a residence in endangered, they can legally enter the premises.

    Internet conspiracies aren’t “reasonable grounds”.

    I invite you again to consider the implications of your suggestion.

    Again, it’s completely normal to charge and hold someone for a lesser charge that’s provable when they’re suspected of a more serious charge, that is honestly the norm in the American legal system

    It is a miscarriage of justice to hold someone against their will for a crime they haven’t even been charged with by charging them with a lesser crime and then setting a bond that doesn’t reflect the crime they’re being charged with. I’m not saying it doesn’t happen, it was outrage that KY is still allowing it.
