Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear sharply criticized Senator Mitch McConnell and the Senate at large over the Kentucky Republican’s prolonged absence from Congress due to health issues.
Beshear, a Democrat, said on Friday that he still had little information about the condition of McConnell, who was hospitalized in mid-June and released from a rehabilitation center earlier this month.
“I’ve received absolutely nothing, and that’s the same that the people of Kentucky have received,” Beshear told MS Now. “This is why the Senate feels broken. These guys don’t think that they have a boss when the people of Kentucky are their boss. They don’t feel like they are accountable whatsoever.”
Beshear called on McConnell to make a video or call into a news show to update the public about his health.
Yep, I already said Kentucky can request it, but DC could do it unprompted and justify it due to him being a Senator.
Normally authorities would go years before getting pro-active. It’s only after a family member or employer reports they stopped hearing from them.
Republicans have the Senate, his family is in on it…
So the only avenue is Kentucky asking about their representative really.
In true mcturtle fashion, it’s exploiting a lot of grey areas and norms.
The only avenue? Or they could just, like, fucking do it
