“DO THEY THINK WE’RE STUPID?”: Mitch McConnell’s Chief of Staff Remains Smug When Pressed About The Senator’s Ability To Do His Job.

Senator Mitch McConnell’s Chief of Staff, Terry Carmack, was pressed by The Gateway Pundit reporter, Myles Morell, on the Senator’s health status and his cognitive abilities to do his job in the Senate.

Upon spotting Carmack, Morell asked him if he believed that pushing the Senator around in a wheelchair is a good look for both him and Carmack. Morell received no response.

Morell was then joined by independent journalists Aulden Nance and Anthony Pellegrino, with Nance questioning Carmack if he is concerned over the Senator’s legacy.

Pellegrino then asked if McConnell is able to talk and communicate clearly with Carmack “behind closed doors.” He received no response.

Morell and Nance continued to press Carmack on McConnell’s failure to give any public video statements since his extended absence from the Senate starting in June, while Pellegrino asked about what closed-door communications are like once again.

Morell ended the interaction by asking Carmack if he would address public concerns about the Senator’s ability to do his job properly, resulting in nothing but crickets once again.

Carmack refused to answer a single question and had a smug look on his face the entire time.

Instantly Relieves Constipation! Drink This and Go to The Toilet Like Clockwork

The 84-year-old Kentucky Senator said he was hospitalized after he took a fall.

Until Monday, the public had only seen two ‘proof of life’ photos of McConnell in the last three months.

In a statement on Monday, McConnell said he is “not quite back to 100%.”

“Today, I’ll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June. I’m really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues,” McConnell said.

Mitch McConnell’s Wife Elaine Chao Allegedly Held Multiple Appointments From CCP-Linked Organizations — Some Overlapped With Her Service in Two U.S. Cabinets

Former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao reportedly received multiple appointments from Chinese government entities and organizations connected to the Chinese Communist Party’s global influence apparatus, including positions that overlapped with her service at the highest levels of the United States government.

The explosive findings were revealed in a new investigation by the Daily Caller News Foundation, which reviewed Chinese government announcements, state-run media reports and archived records.

Chao, the wife of longtime Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, served as Labor secretary throughout the George W. Bush administration and later as President Donald Trump’s Transportation secretary from January 2017 until January 2021.

According to the DCNF investigation, Chinese records identify Chao as having received at least four appointments since 2008 from a municipal government or organizations connected to the CCP’s United Front Work Department.

The United Front is not some harmless cultural exchange program.

A U.S.-China Economic and Security Review Commission report describes the United Front Work Department as the CCP agency responsible for coordinating influence operations intended to co-opt individuals, shape foreign opinion and advance Beijing’s political interests overseas.

In other words, the CCP allegedly was handing titles to the wife of one of the most powerful Republicans in Washington, and, for portions of that time, a sitting member of the United States Cabinet.

Democrat Gov. Andy Beshear Demands Mitch McConnell Tell Voters the Truth About His Health

Kentucky’s far-left Democrat Governor Andy Beshear took to national television this Sunday and once again demanded that longtime Republican Senator Mitch McConnell provide a public health update.

Appearing on CBS’s Face the Nation, Beshear claimed he has “heard absolutely nothing back from Mitch McConnell” despite formal requests for information following the senator’s June 14 hospitalization after a fall.

“I’ve heard absolutely nothing back from Mitch McConnell,” Beshear said.

“And while I do hope that he is getting better, I’ve known him my entire life. I wish him no harm. I actually wish him good health. His boss are the people of Kentucky, and this is why the Senate – the Republican-controlled Senate – feels so broken. They feel like they’re not accountable to anyone.”

Beshear then escalated: “All he needs to do is call into this show for two minutes, or Fox News for two minutes, or do a video for two minutes to the people he’s supposed to serve. But you know what? He absolutely refuses to do it.”

The Democrat governor also took a shot at Senate Majority Leader John Thune, claiming the South Dakota Republican has a “duty to make sure all of your senators have the capacity to serve” and accusing him of saying “Not my job.”

Where Is Mitch McConnell? – McConnell’s Chief Of Staff DUCKS And DODGES Questions About The Senator’s Health At His Very Own DC Home

Senator Mitch McConnell’s, R-KY, Chief of Staff, Terry Carmack, ran away from basic questions about the Senator’s current health decision.

Given the Senator’s extended absence and lack of a clear explanation, I visited McConnell’s home in Washington, DC to investigate the situation and demand more answers on his current health status.

Heavy security detail was present at his DC home, and they remained there throughout the day.

Carmack would then exit the house and put his phone to his ear, as if he were speaking to someone.

I started asking him basic questions about McConnell’s health, his connection to McConnell, and why he came to the Senator’s home. Carmack started walking fast to avoid me.

As Carmack was pursued down the street, he kept trying to change direction to avoid his face appearing in the camera lens. Carmack then ran his body into mine, which slightly pushed me back.

“On the advice of my doctors, I’ll maintain an intensive regimen of physical therapy from home during the state work period, and I’ll continue to engage with my staff and colleagues on important Senate business,” McConnell said.

What is Going on with Mitch McConnell? – Several Lawmakers Weigh in on Governor Andy Beshear’s Ultimatum To McConnell

Former leader of the Republican Senate Caucus, Mitch McConnell, R-KY, has been in the hospital for almost 50 days.

He was hospitalized in mid-June, and nobody knows his current condition. Why is it taking so long to get a clear, definitive answer.

“Proof of life photos” were released over the past few weeks that allegedly show McConnell with his wife in the hospital, but many suspect that these photos are misleading.

McConnell’s current condition is still seemingly unknown.

McConnell is 84 years old and has served in the U.S. Senate since 1985.

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear demanded that McConnell either address the people of Kentucky directly or resign from the Senate.

Beshear even sent a letter to President Trump about the situation.

In response to Beshear’s request, McConnell’s autograph was used on the letter, further drawing in speculation that his condition is a “cover-up” to avoid a special election for his seat.

Gov Beshear Calls on McConnell to “Directly and Verbally Address the People of Kentucky” or RESIGN After Latest ‘Proof of Life’ Photo

Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear (D) on Tuesday called on Senator Mitch McConnell to “directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky” – or resign.

Beshear said McConnell must provide proof of his capacity to serve or resign.

“As Governor of the state you serve, I am calling on you to directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign,” Beshear wrote in a letter, CNN first reported.

“Per our research, a vacancy in the Senate occurs when a senator dies, resigns, or is expelled by a vote of the Senate itself,” Beshear said.

“If you are unwilling to voluntarily show that you still have the capacity to serve, I will insist Leader Thune fully investigate your condition, report to the American people, and begin the process if warranted,” Beshear wrote.

The Governor’s letter comes after McConnell released his second ‘proof of life’ photo amid a 44-day absence from the Senate.

The latest photo is dated Sunday.

Mitch McConnell Releases Another Proof of Life Photo As Rumors Continue About His Health

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) released a new “proof of life” photo on social media as he continues recovering from a fall that hospitalized him in June.

The image, dated July 26, shows the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican smiling from a rehabilitation facility alongside his wife, Elaine Chao. It marks the second photograph McConnell has released since doctors admitted him to the hospital after his June 14 fall.

Since McConnell’s disappearance from public view several weeks ago, there has been plenty of online speculation about his health.

“I’m still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors’ orders,” McConnell said in a statement.

McConnell added that his doctors have yet to clear him to return to the Senate due to intensive physical therapy, or attend Kentucky’s annual Fancy Farm picnic this Saturday.

“I’m sorry to miss Fancy Farm this year,” McConnell said. “As always, I appreciate all of your continued well wishes, and I’m looking forward to getting back to the Senate and to Kentucky soon.”

The Office of the Attending Physician said that McConnell continues multiple physical therapy sessions each day after transferring from the hospital to a rehabilitation facility.

“Since his discharge from hospital care, he has maintained a strenuous course of physical therapy and rehabilitation, including multiple sessions a day designed to rebuild strength and reduce the risk of future falls,” the office said. “His bout with childhood polio continues to be a significant factor in his mobility. He is not yet medically cleared to leave the rehab facility and return to the office.”

Earlier this month, McConnell disclosed that he briefly lost consciousness during the June fall but suffered no broken bones, concussion, heart attack, stroke, tumors, or hemorrhages. He also developed a mild case of pneumonia while hospitalized. CNN released a video on July 10, showing McConnell being loaded onto a stretcher into an ambulance that was transporting him to the hospital.

An EMS recording acquired by CNN confirmed that an unknown person was found “unconscious” in McConnell’s home due to “cardiac arrest,” with “CPR in progress.” A neighbor told CNN that officers on the scene described the incident as a “medical emergency”, with another eyewitness confirming that the person on the stretcher was McConnell.

The update follows weeks of online rumors claiming that McConnell was “brain dead” or being kept alive by life support. Although some social media users questioned the authenticity of the rehabilitation photos, digital forensics experts have found no evidence the images were altered or generated with artificial intelligence.

McConnell has experienced several health challenges in recent years, including highly publicized episodes in which he briefly froze while speaking to reporters. His office attributed those incidents to momentary lightheadedness.

In 2025, McConnell announced he would not seek another Senate term. Kentucky voters have already chosen their nominees to succeed him. Republicans selected Rep. Andy Barr, while Democrats nominated former Rep. Charles Booker. His current term ends on Jan. 3, 2027.

Kentucky governor says he received 2 calls from agencies indicating McConnell had ‘passed’

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said this week that he received two calls from agencies suggesting Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., died while he was in the hospital.

In an interview with Katie Couric uploaded to YouTube on Thursday, Beshear, a Democrat, did not specify which agencies called him with the news or when the calls were made.

“In fact, I’d gotten two calls from different agencies, not state agencies, suggesting he’d passed,” said Beshear, who has served as governor since December 2019.

Fox News Digital reached out to Beshear and McConnell’s offices for comment.

After nearly a month of being hospitalized, McConnell’s office released a lengthy statement July 12 saying he was being treated for a June fall. A picture of him in a hospital bed alongside his wife was also released.

Prior to the announcement, there was speculation about what had happened to McConnell, given that his office did not reveal why he was in the hospital for weeks.

Emergency dispatch audio from June 14, the day McConnell was hospitalized, revealed he was “unconscious” and may have suffered a heart attack.
