Wouldn’t that be an argument to suggest he’s not actually dead/incapacitated?
The more people involved, the more potential that someone would leak information or a photo. And there’s a lot of people involved.
I mean, I agree that this is all shady as hell- but I expect the truth is probably less exciting than the Weekend at Bernie’s scenario we’re all imagining. McConnell is probably alive and conscious, but probably slow and almost nonverbal. He’s probably in no condition to serve in his capacity, but technically meets the basic requirement of capability.
That's just an assumption on your part. There's plenty of reasons why someone can choose to not do a press conference that don't involve being incapacitated.
Like I said- his speech could slowed/slurred or he could be nonverbal. That doesn't mean he's incapacitated. He could have some sort of Belle's palsy that paralyzed half his face.
For the record, I still totally believe he should resign. Regardless of what the truth here really is, he's clearly not doing the job he was elected to do. That being said, there's been no reason yet to believe he's not "technically" still capable to do the job.
Anything else is just people making up facts and getting stirred up into conspiracy theories.
Like I said- his speech could slowed/slurred or he could be nonverbal. That doesn't mean he's incapacitated. He could have some sort of Belle's palsy that paralyzed half his face.
Then he could meet with some republicans and do a carefully posed photo opp, and they can come out and explain whats going on

And SO many people KNOW.
How in hell are they keeping it contained???
Think about it. The original EMTs, hospital staff, household staff, ( probably ) morgue/funeral home, family, extended family, staff, their family....
This. Is. Wild.
