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.
Somehow, this coming back like nothing ever happened and everything is fine, business as usual act pisses me off SO much more than him being gone for three months without a fucking word.
The level of entitled contempt this shows for his constituents, his state, and his governor is beyond anything I have ever seen from a US Senator before in my life.
I am literally furious. He should have fucking STAYED GONE.
Looks like I’m not alone. His X announcement was met with much the same reaction:
