Mitch McConnell Has Reportedly Been Tripping And Falling A Lot This Year

Mitch McConnell had an extremely odd momentwhile delivering a speech this week. More reports are alleging that he has been falling and having similar moments all year.

The Senate GOP Leader is currently batting away rumors that anything is wrong with him after freezing like he isn’t human during a news conference on Wednesday. But according to many sources, all is not right in the life of the politician.

It is being reported that he has fallen down quite a few times in addition to this latest incident of seemingly being lost in space while addressing a huge crowd of people. He fell and suffered a concussion in D.C. in March.

McConnell’s communication director David Popp said in a statement:

“Leader McConnell tripped at a dinner event Wednesday evening and has been admitted to the hospital and is being treated for a concussion. He is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days of observation and treatment.”

While they were public about this incident they were not so forthcoming about a few others according to CNN.

People close to McConnell have stated that the politician had a fall in February in Finland while he met with the Finnish president in Helsinki. Apparently, three sources are backing this story up. The spill happened when McConnell and a US delegate exited the car.

Granted it was snowy and anyone would have fallen. Finnish President Sauli Niinistö, saw McConnell trip and fall. He supposedly. Brushed himself off and continued his visit, he didn’t seem to be in a bad way, thankfully.

It is important to point out that this fall was just a few short days ahead of the fall he took in March, painting a picture that he is a little light on his feet these days.

McConnell had a fall in early July at Reagan National Airport in Washington. He was exiting the plane when he took a tumble. Although, no one from McConnell’s camp responded to inquiries about the fall.

McConnell, 81 had Polio as a child causing him to walk with a little limp. Many have seen him take the stairs one step at a time. He will even stop at times to rest, knowing his limits, and utilizes his aide to help him balance.

CNN has reported that in the past, McConnell’s falls have caused serious injuries including a fracture to his shoulder that occurred in his home in Louisville.

After pausing like an android during his speech, McConnell has insisted “I’m fine,” but it’s widely known that in June, the senator was having an extremely hard time hearing questions from reporters.

This wouldn’t be suspicious if the other senators around him weren’t hearing the questions loud and clearly. McConnell was the only one struggling. He is the longest-serving Senate party leader in history.

That fact rings a little different after stacking up all of these incidents.
