#SchrödingersSenator #uspol #coverup #auspol Concerns are growing about the health of US Senator #MitchMcConnell, a top #Republican lawmaker who has been in hospital for over three weeks. McConnell, 84, was admitted for treatment on 14 June, according to his staff. His aides have not given any details about the reason for his hospital stay, or what kind of treatment he is receiving. His team said on 2 July he was "receiving excellent care" and "continues to improve". On Tuesday, several Republicans said they had spoken by phone to McConnell, the longest-serving #Senate party leader in US history. Their comments came after a Trump ally - influencer #LauraLoomer - claimed on X the #Kentucky senator was in a #VegativeState. Several US media outlets have reported that 911 emergency calls were made from McConnell's home seeking help for an "unconscious" person who was suffering from "cardiac arrest". The calls also indicated that CPR was being performed on the patient. McConnell, who has served in the Senate for more than 40 years, was not explicitly named in the recording. On Tuesday, Loomer, a far-right activist, posted that McConnell "is #BrainDead and hooked up to machines", and alleged a "cover-up". She also criticised his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, for visiting China during McConnell's hospital stay. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c4gyjpkzew1o
