(VIDEO) Vegetable Mitch McConnell Goes Mute, Stares Off When Asked About Midterms

Wait 5 sec.

Mitch McConnellKentucky Republican Senator Mitch McConnell was seen after the midterm elections blankly staring at a reporter asking him for his take on the midterm elections after the major Republican defeat. The 84-year-old’s vegetable appearance is renewing calls for term limits and age limits in Congress.Newsmax congressional correspondent Kilmeny Duchardt asked McConnell, who is still wheelchair bound, “Can I get your quick reaction to the midterms?”He did not answer, instead staring into the camera like a frightened animal.“What do you think is going to change?” Duchardt asked again, but he looked away as staffers attempted to wade her off.WATCH:!function(r,u,m,b,l,e){r._Rumble=b,r[b]||(r[b]=function(){(r[b]._=r[b]._||[]).push(arguments);if(r[b]._.length==1){l=u.createElement(m),e=u.getElementsByTagName(m)[0],l.async=1,l.src="https://rumble.com/embedJS/u2vbt6g"+(arguments[1].video?'.'+arguments[1].video:'')+"/?url="+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+"&args="+encodeURIComponent(JSON.stringify([].slice.apply(arguments))),e.parentNode.insertBefore(l,e)}})}(window, document, "script", "Rumble");Rumble("play", {"video":"v7fwyky","div":"rumble_v7fwyky"});It can be recalled that McConnell disappeared for three months, from June to September, after he was found unconscious at his DC home.As rumors swirled that he was dead, brain-dead, or on life support, McConnell’s office released a proof-of-life photo and an update on his health, claiming that he was just recovering from a fall and minor injuries.Then, a month later, he returned to the Senate to cast his first vote since his June absence, where he was seen being wheeled out of his home by staffers.When he returned to the Senate, the 84-year-old had to be told how to vote on a farm bill, which passed along party lines, but only because of McConnell’s colleagues reminding him where he was.Other committee members were seen on camera directing McConnell after his name was called multiple times to cast his vote.MORE:McConnell Has to be Told How to Vote on Farm Bill (VIDEO)/*!
