I am by no means a doctor although I am in the medical field, but I will tell you that he has had severe brain damage. I know this because my mom looked exactly the same, acted the same as Mitch McConnell. I would love to see or hear what a neurologist has to say and their professional opinion. This is also extremely cruel to go through the “motions”of him going supposedly to work and being brought back home. I would think it would be illegal to do this. it seems very inhumane in my opinion.
He’s literally a human puppet and they’re the puppet masters pulling the strings. It’s truly gross and undignified. I’m not a fan of McConnell but this should not be how we treat our elders.
