I say Governor Beshear drops into the hospital with the Commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, who’s an MD, and they see for themselves.

What hospital? Does anyone know? And do you really think a US Senator is receiving medical care for a life-threatening condition in a Kentucky hospital?

The lady who reported his heart attack seems to know which hospital

We know what hospital he went to on June 14. We don't know if he's still there. We don't know if he was airlifted to a different hospital, moved by ambulance somewhere else, or got wheeled feet first into the morgue. Even if the woman waited in the hospital 24/7 since he was admitted, without sleep or breaks, she still couldn't say for sure that he's there. There's more than one door in a hospital, ya know?

The hospital will turn them away. Why do people make this shit up?

Then the governor and the doctor have a press conference at the front entrance of the hospital saying “the people of Kentucky want to know if their elected representative is brain dead. What are they hiding?”

Cool. What’s the point of that? McConnell doesn’t care.
