Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is the subject of renewed speculation after a suggestion that he may be “brain-dead.”
A report revealed that McConnell was found unconscious in his home and was transported to the hospital on June 14. While his office insists he has been “working closely” with colleagues, the fact that he hasn’t been seen is leading to intense speculation about his health.
Leading the charge is Laura Loomer, who claims a “high level source close to the White House” gave her a shocking update.
Look:
Mitch McConnell is being kept “alive” by life support machines, but my White House source told me McConnell is in organ failure, and as I reported, source told me he has allegedly been declared a vegetable (brain dead) by doctors and the White House has been told “McConnell isn’t…

“High level source close to the White House tells me ‘Mitch McConnell is officially brain dead. He’s not coming back,'” she wrote. “Mitch McConnell is being kept ‘alive’ by life support machines, but my White House source told me McConnell is in organ failure, and as I reported, source told me he has allegedly been declared a vegetable (brain dead) by doctors and the White House has been told “McConnell isn’t ever coming back.” Officially brain dead, organ failure is accelerating, life support machine is keeping him ‘alive’ but his brain is officially dead and his wife [Elaine Chao] has fled the country to China. I wonder if she brought any of his documents or briefings with her to China.”
Independent journalist Desiree Townsend offered corroboration for this theory from her own “sources.”
I have heard the same thing from my sources for days. At this point, I am at the hospital for when they eventually decide to move cut him off of life support and move his body. His Capitol police detail is still here as of 3:39pm ET. https://t.co/tSTetm51de

X users weighed in:
If he is brain dead, I’m more concerned why wife went to China. Seems her job was done, she wants Chinese protection, or just one cold hearted lady who is glad he is gone. Which one or all 3, is the question ???

The fact that there are no updates and they are being so secretive tells me something is a foot!

They won’t cut his life support off they will keep him hooked up as long as they can vote for him. It’s truly heartbreaking how desperate political parties are and I mean both sides. Congress needs to create laws to protect us the ppl from this crap!

If true, and @LeaderJohnThune sincerely believes HE SPOKE WITH MITCH a day or two after the critical emergent event – can we declare Thune mentally incompetent?
He is hearing voices!

We don’t deserve to live this way. Americans deserve actual senators who show up. He needs to be replaced.
