Mitch McConnell Doesn't Seem To Be Well

During the opening statement to his press conference today, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell froze and had to be led away by Senator John Barrasso. He appeared during the Q&A and insisted he's fine, but he looked anything but fine during the incident in the video above.

I'm a stroke survivor and know the symptoms of one. He didn't have eye or mouth droop that I could see, and he stopped speaking altogether so I'm not sure if it was because he couldn't find the words. Some observers say he had an unsteady gait returning to the podium for the question and answer period. It could possibly be a TIA, or something else. Maybe he felt faint, or it was related to the concussion he suffered a few months ago or was a seizure of some sort.

John Barrasso, who is a doctor, should have called 911, not put him back in front of the cameras. Apparently Joni Ernst crossed herself because that's certainly something that helps when a colleague is clearly having some kind of crisis.

Whatever it is, there is plenty of speculation, starting with reporters during the Q&A.
