“Stroke” is trending on Twitter (“X”).
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell froze up while delivering remarks on the Hill on Wednesday; the Kentucky Senator stared off blankly into space until Senator John Barrasso (R-WY) escorted him away.
The Twitterers (“Xverse”) is speculating that the Leader suffered a mini-stroke.
Watch the clip above. Reactions below.
Neurosurgeon I know just texted me in response to the McConnell video saying it’s obvious that McConnell just suffered from an acute stroke.
“You can see it in the eyes. Dead eyes. Forgets where he is and who he is. Cognitive breakdown. Common in stroke patients”

Did Mitch just have a stroke on Live TV? This is why we need term limits. He clearly is in no position to be in US Senate. pic.twitter.com/lNZsRQ72nY

McConnell was just escorted away from cameras after freezing mid-press conference. This looks like a possible stroke. Painful to watch. pic.twitter.com/Hj2rEvcyhs

Why aren’t they taking him to a hospital to assess for stroke and see if he needs tPA? How is this at all responsible?!? pic.twitter.com/MfwcZzZJRb
