Sen. Mitch McConnell returned to Capitol Hill on Monday for the first time after a three-month absence due to health issues.

He was seen leaving his home in a wheelchair en route to the Capitol.

“Today, I’ll cast my first Senate vote since I took a bad fall back in June. I’m really looking forward to being back on the Senate floor and seeing my colleagues,” the GOP senator from Kentucky said in a statement.

      Some news sites and live streamers jumped the gun hoping to make the headlines about his absence. They were obviously not in the loop and not paying attention.

      that was to keep anyone from getting eyes on the actual mitch, while the clone took over at the senate.

      Rawstory is a clickbait trash rag. I always cross-check their headlines with more legitimate sources. I’d ban their links altogether from Lemmy if it were up to me; half of their “stories” are either exaggerated, taken out of context, or based on something shat out by some random Xitter user.
