@cbsnews: Sen. Mitch McConnell’s office released an update on the Kentucky Republican’s health on Monday, along with a photo of the senator with his wife, Elaine Chao, that the office said was taken on Sunday, July 26. In a statement, McConnell said he's undergoing multiple physical therapy sessions each day and is "still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky." The Office of the Attending Physician said McConnell continues to recover from a fall at his home in June and "is not yet medically cleared to leave the rehab facility and return to the office." The statement also says the effects of McConnell’s childhood polio continue to be "a significant factor in his mobility." #kentucky #news #health #mitchmcconnell #senate

Gumgum :

Shame on CBS for peddling these lies instead of putting forth an ounce of journalism

jhen647.2 :

Mitch doesnt have to worry about his hospital bill, needing a doctor's note, or missing a paycheck. Imagine the average person missing that many days from work. These are the same politicians concerned about "socialism"

Xathrael, Ascendant :

sounds like hes not able to be a congressman anymore, then

Scum :

Then there needs to be an emergency election

Cldhrt :

If I was dead I too wouldn’t be ready to return to work

Cynthia Shaw Foster :

If it’s not a video it’s not acceptable

hansorg1982 :

I want a NAME of “the attending physician”. A real live person in the medical field who is willing to put their actual name, credentials, and livelihood on the line by affirming this statement is the truth. Not just “the office of” so when it turns out to be a sham no one pays the price.

bi.tistic :

hard to go back to work when you’re actually dead 💀

Alayna Anderson :

This is an ai photo

Justin :

It’s 2026 and he won’t even do a FaceTime video call

Michele :

We’re not buying it

Trin :

Mitch didn't say anything. his office did. I want a video of him saying it.

Gekko :

So whats the point of holding that seat if you can’t function/do your job. It’s time to step down or someone else take the spot.

Lisa Mills :

Typical from CBS to pass on more lies and AI generated pictures!

Anti_Fash :

Uh huh. Tell me, why can’t they release a video? Or fucking call the governor of Kentucky?

Winstagram :

So, we are all cleared to take months off of work without absolutely no repercussions and full pay. Got it, thanks Mitch!

Marquis :

Me when I'm dead

paz.2022 :

But why keep the people waiting for days to then release a photo and written message? Why can’t he video record his message to the public and his constituents?? It would stop all the conspiracies about his condition roaming on social media. 🙄

Joey🐻 :

Okay now I need someone to do the whole overlaying their faces on the last picture to see if they're the same or not.

ekmbaby123 :

Nope…. Replace him….
