LOL why is everyone on this thread flexing their anger at old folks? The guy is a veggie because he had several devastating concussions-- not because of natural aging or senility. He has a brain injury that he may never recover from, but this isn't proof of any general principle about U.S. politicians.
Those who continue to parade Mitch McConnell out like this, should be ashamed. It is obvious that he is not making realistic decisions for himself. This is abuse of an unhealthy individual. I guess everyone has to keep their jobs and stay on the government payroll, so let's just continue to roll out Mitch every now and then and hope there isn't a glitch.

I do not know what is wrong with Mitch. I can only say that this scene reminds me of my mother's behavior as her dementia progressed and led to her death.
At 81 , I would be enjoying my final years with my family , relaxing , going on holidays , having some peace and quiet. US politicians stay in office for way too long , hoarding wealth and power , which are seemingly tough to give up , even at 81.
Fair but it depends if they could genetically expand the human lifespan so that the average age of death from natural causes would be between 120-150 years.
Wow, this is like a scene from King Lear or something, one of the canniest operators in Washington (and a horrible man imo) visibly losing his grip. I don't want to gloat over someone's ill health, but I was pretty blown away by this footage
@@sheldondrake8935 Yeah, if you consider the pure vitriol Biden receives over his alleged incompetence and age (and I do think the current crop of politicians needs to make room for a younger generation, possibly less beholden to vested interests...or so I hope) the reactions here are more than mild, sympathetic even. It is pretty telling imho about the mentality of the respective voting blocks.
I have no doubt that he, in part, has stayed on at his insistance after the first incident. That he is sufficiently feared (let's face it) and has enough deference and influence that after that first incident people didn't dare to speak out against that wish. I think fear comes into play as well.
He doesn’t have a family . If he did They wouldn’t let him up on that stage talking to people knowing he has health issues . No family would allow that So no I don’t think he has a family

Firstly, this is quite disheartening for the poor chap. On a more serious note, when it comes to serving one's country, it's essential to possess both physical and mental capabilities. This requirement exists for a reason. Making decisions that could potentially yield significant consequences for constituents or while participating in widely governing committees necessitates this capacity. There ought to be immediate and earnest discussions in both houses about this very subject. After all, we wouldn't allow an individual in the armed forces to be on duty if they were in a similar condition. Therefore, the same principle should apply to a State Senator.
This is cruel. Regardless of politics, you cannot have person in this state of mental and physical decline continue in this role. That woman should be ashamed for not just calling for medical attention for him rather than getting him to continue to answer questions. Has he not got a family who care ?

If he steps aside I'm sure he will be replaced with someone with the same political views and political goals, that's how the US political system works. But when someone is in bad health with this he should be at home getting treatment and not doing things like this press conference.
