Sen. Mitch McConnell appears to freeze again at a Kentucky event
nbcnews.com
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell appeared to freeze again Wednesday, this time during a gaggle with reporters in Covington, Kentucky, stopping for more than 30 seconds after he was asked if he would run for re-election.
The Kentucky Republican froze in July at a news conference on Capitol Hill, going silent for 19 seconds before being escorted away from the cameras. McConnell, 81, returned shortly afterward and continued his news conference, telling reporters, “I’m fine.”
When it became apparent that McConnell had frozen again on Wednesday, an aide came up to him and asked, “Did you hear the question, senator?” McConnell continued to be unresponsive.

I mean, why not have a dying sociopath representing us?..
We had an Alzheimer's patient as president, so this is just the status quo.
I assume you're talking about Regan, but while I think he and Biden and Trump are/were too old to be president, the latter two don't have obvious signs of Alzheimer's.
Only signs of significant cognitive decline
They're not so bad compared to McConnell or Feinstein.
In any case, Trump has a serious mental illness that is understated because of ethics rules. It's just not solely cognitive decline. (It's not that the 80 yo's don't have signs of decline. It's that trump has a much worse and more obvious issue).
Par for the course at this point. Won't be surprised if Mitch represents us in effigy when he dies. "this is what Mitch would have wanted"
