US senator Mitch McConnell on Sunday revealed for the first time that a fall led to his hospitalization, breaking the silence about the Kentucky Republican’s condition after weeks of mounting speculation about his health.
The statement included a smiling picture of McConnell with his wife, Elaine Chao, a tacit response to speculation online that he had died or was incapacitated. McConnell held a copy of Sunday’s Washington Post sports section in his hand.
I’d believe the page is legit, but they could have had anybody hold that up and then used AI to make that person look like a turtle. (And then post-processed the image to make it grainy and low-res to hide the flaws.)
