“The President called to check up on me and I told him I got sandbagged,” Sen. Mitch McConnell said in video posted by Congressional Correspondent Nathanial Reed. He simply added he was “fine.'
Colleagues were forced to whisk Sen. Mitch McConnell away from a podium on Wednesday after the Senate Minority Leader seemingly froze mid-sentence while talking to reporters.
Prior to freezing up, McConnell had spoken for 15 seconds about bipartisan support for an annual defense policy bill. As the senator froze, the faces of the Republicans around him showed their confusion. Barrasso continued, “Is there anything else you want to say to the press?” McConnell didn’t respond again, but this time opted to leave the podium.the senator “felt light headed and stepped away for a moment.” The aide added that McConnell returned later to finish speaking with reporters and was “sharp.”
