Former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) had another troubling health scare Thursday after taking a hard fall inside the basement of the Russell Senate Office Building. The 83-year-old Republican, who has faced years of mobility issues, was caught on camera losing his balance just moments after being confronted by a left-wing protester.
Witnesses say McConnell was moving slowly down a connecting hallway when the incident unfolded. An aide was holding his right wrist to help stabilize him as the two approached an entrance. That’s when a protester suddenly stepped in and began pressing him with a loaded question about federal immigration enforcement.
