Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel and CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta both weighed in on Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) latest freezing incident on Wednesday and suggested what the underlying health issue could be.
On Fox News’ The Special Report with Bret Baier following the incident, Siegel noted that while he hadn’t examined McConnell, his best guess “would be Parkinson’s disease because that, in its later stages, can give you a freeze.”
Gupta also raised the possibility of Parkinson’s disease during an appearance on CNN’s The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer on Wednesday.
“There’s a long list of possibilities here. I think what we saw was pretty concerning. I think most people could see that,” Gupta said. “It was similar to what we saw in July where there was this freezing. It’s the freezing of the speech, it’s the freezing of the body, it’s the tight sort of grasping of the side of the lectern.”
He continued, “His face even has this mask-like feature to it. So there’s a lot of things that are going on there.”
Gupta argued that while McConnell could have suffered from a seizure or something similar, “It could be something like when somebody comes off of their medications for things like Parkinson’s. When the medication start to wear off, they may start to have freezing episodes as well.”
I have a theory as well: Those freezes happen when some of the millions of souls he has hurt in his lifetime break out for a moment and start to haunt him.
On a more serious note: I cant fathom the immense lust/hunger for power this person must posess to still refuse to retire. Afaik he’s a millionaire anyway but he still grabs on to the tits of power like the ghoul he is. Disgusting human being.

In my non-medical opinion, I would say that it looks like he suffers from "Should of fucking retired ten years ago"itis.
This country has got to do better than keep electing these old ass dementia fuckers.
