President Biden’s defense of Senator Mitch McConnell’s freezing episode at a press conference is raising eyebrows and questions about the President’s judgment. Biden, in his usual rambling fashion, claimed that McConnell’s freezing was just a side effect of his concussion recovery. But come on, folks! McConnell is 81 years old. We’re not talking about a little bumped head from falling off a tricycle. We’re talking about a man who trips and falls more often than a toddler learning to walk.
Of course Joe Biden is standing up for his good friend Mitch McConnell.
Neither of these men are fit for office, yet the establishment continues to prop them up.
The fact that Democrats want McConnell to stay in office shows just how ineffective he is. https://t.co/5tSF6szKW2

The fact that McConnell has had multiple health incidents this year alone should be cause for concern. This man is supposed to be leading the Senate and making important decisions that affect our lives. Can we really trust him to do that effectively when he can’t even keep his balance? It’s time for McConnell to seriously consider retirement and let someone with a bit more stability take the reins.
Conservative voices are already calling for McConnell’s resignation, and rightly so. Former Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum hit the nail on the head when he suggested that McConnell should step down as leader and maybe even retire altogether. And Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has taken things a step further, calling for federal oversight of not just McConnell, but also Senators Dianne Feinstein and John Fetterman. It’s clear that there are serious concerns about the health and fitness of our nation’s leaders, and it’s time to address them.
Of course, Biden and his fellow Democrats are trying to downplay these concerns. They want us to believe that McConnell’s freezing episode was just a minor blip and that he’s perfectly fine to continue leading the Senate. But the American people aren’t buying it. A recent poll showed that 77% of those surveyed believe Biden is too old to effectively serve as president for another four years. Even within his own party, nearly 70% of Democrats have doubts about his abilities. So why should we have any confidence in McConnell’s ability to lead?
The age and health issues of our politicians should not be taken lightly. We need leaders who are alert, physically capable, and mentally sound. McConnell’s frequent falls and freezing episodes are clear signs that he may not be up to the task. It’s time for him to step aside and make way for someone who can truly lead, not someone who needs to be constantly monitored for potential health crises. Our country’s future depends on it.
