Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suddenly stopped speaking during a weekly Republican leadership news conference Wednesday afternoon, appearing to freeze, and then went silent and was walked away.

    My wife has a seizure condition, she’s much younger than Mitchell. There have been plenty of times where she just kind of trails off and in the middle of a sentence and then kind of stares off slack-jawed. McConnell already looks pretty slack-jawed so I would say a seizure diagnosis makes sense. I will also say fuck his people - I dislike the old turtle, but they obviously have no idea how to react, react slowly, and then don’t follow through and let him just stand there. He could have easily collapsed and died right there.
