McConnell was rushed to the hospital in mid-June for an undisclosed medical reason, with his spokesperson David Popp issuing a vague statement regarding the reason for the hospitalization. It wasn’t until last week that media outlets learned McConnell had been discovered “unconscious” at his home and had to be administered CPR for potential “cardiac arrest.”
It remains unclear why McConnell’s staff refused to share details, but some, including independent journalist and crypto commentator Adam Cochran, have a theory.
“In Kentucky, a special election to replace a Senator will NOT be called if it’s closer than 3 months till the next election,” Cochran wrote Saturday in a social media post on X. “If McConnell’s condition is clearly unfit for office, they’d hide that to avoid being forced to submit a resignation letter until after that date.”
“So all they have to do is drag their feet until [the second Tuesday in August], then tell you that he didn’t make it,” Cochran continued. “And in turn block Massie from disrupting an otherwise safe Republican seat.”
David Morris, a journalist and author, also appeared to endorse the theory with a brutal jab at McConnell and his legacy.
“Mitch McConnell remaining technically alive for an extra three weeks because of a manipulative procedural maneuver is exactly how he would have wanted to go out,” Morris wrote in a social media post on X.
First of all, America was never great. That’s a MAGA lie.
Second of all, anybody in the USA who posts about “fighting for it” is either being deliberately vague about decorating cardboard signs, or won’t be posting anywhere for much longer.
It’s easy to romanticize an armed rebellion when it’s not actually your own family at risk. Half of the people who realize what’s happening are leaving, like Einstein did.
And violent revolutions are kind of a roll of the dice. Sure, you could have a glorious outcome. But you are just as likely to have a bunch of scared people turn to whatever warlord promises them security.
There has been only one truly revolutionary movement and that was Haiti. We see how that turned out. The rest of the revolutions are just money fighting wealth.
If by rolling the dice you mean never in history getting the results you want in the end, then yes. Totally rolling those dice to crap out again.
