While I normally respect The Guardian’s news coverage, the unquestioning, straight-faced posting of that pic of a happy, healthy looking Mitch, along with the accompanying brief post caused me to question my subscription.
On July first, NBC reported that paramedics had responded to a ‘cardiac arrest’ at McConnell’s home on the day of his hospitalization. On July second, CBS reported about the EMTs showing up to Mitch’s home.
"CPR in progress," a D.C. Fire and EMS paramedic said over the radio before 9 a.m. on June 14, just six minutes after the initial call came from McConnell's home near the U.S. Capitol about an "unconscious" person. (source)
I only mention it but I’m fully capable of adding 2+2 and coming up with the fact that the “unconscious" person they were performing CPR on was Mitch.Robert Vanwey, a former law enforcement senior technical analyst, investigator, former firefighter and medical responder for over a decade, has an informative breakdown up of why he doesn’t think Senator Turtle’s with the living anymore. Definitely worth a read. Here’s a wee snippet:
… responders remained on-scene for nearly 30 minutes before transporting the patient. In nearly all cases, an incident response that lasts that long means one of two things: 1) CPR is being performed and is having an effect, but the responders keep losing the pulse, so it is better to continue field treatment to try and stabilize before transporting; or 2) the patient has been declared dead and responders are awaiting either a police analysis (to confirm no signs of wrongdoing) or orders indicating whether they should remove the body or standby for the medical examiner to arrive.
The original call was for an unconscious person; CPR was subsequently performed; responders did not remove the patient from the scene until a half-hour later; and they were not performing CPR or doing anything, really, for the patient as they loaded him into the bus (at least from what we can see in the video).
They weren’t scurrying around or doing anything for the patient because there was nothing further to do (other than remove a corpse).
Conclusion: McConnell is dead.
Go read the full column.
Image on left is a closeup from yesterday’s published pic of
a supposedly up-and-at-’em Mitch in the rehab facility.
At right is him in May of this year.
Along with cardiac care did old Mitch have a facelift?
Is Botox part of the treatment for cardiac event now?
Also, his hair seems less ghostly white in yesterday’s pic.
Hmmmmm!
Why did Republicans wait a month to announce he’s in rehab? Did it take them a full month to come up with that story?
IF Mitch is recovering so blindingly well, as this supposedly NOT AI 🙄 pic shows, why was this *cough* totally nonfictional *cough* statement released by his office, and not from him directly? He couldn’t give a brief statement, live and in front of a news camera? I mean, he’s supposedly having 20 minute phone convos with everyone and their pizza delivery boy so why not an in person teevee reporter?
(20 minutes with everyone except Scott Jennings who apparently failed Lying 101. First lesson: NEVER claim you’ve had a 17 minute casual talk with someone. That’s just an odd and ultra specific number – it reeks of mendacity. It gets worse. Scott’s so dim, he went on to claim that he and the old box turtle discussed Teddy Roosevelt and the history of the modern presidency. Sure dude, did ya then debate who was the best Roman emperor – Augustus or Marcus Aurelius? And then you arm wrestled over who was the better pitcher – Whitey Ford or Ron Guidry. Right?)
Why was this statement about Mitch given yesterday and only after Graham croaked? IF Mitch really is with the living, which I sincerely doubt, why didn’t his office show proof of life earlier? Did it really take them a whole month to put together this AI slop?
This all seems seriously sus and I’m not buying it. Not. At. All.
