McConnell Update – Heartbreaking Video from Emergency Scene…b See more

Newly released video shows former Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell being loaded into an ambulance after suffering an apparent medical emergency at his Capitol Hill home last month.

The footage, published Friday by CNN and recorded by a neighbor, shows D.C. Fire and EMS personnel transporting the 84-year-old Kentucky senator on a stretcher on the morning of June 14.

In the video, McConnell’s face is not visible, and an orange blanket covers his lower legs, leaving his feet exposed.

According to CNN, the neighbor said another eyewitness reported that McConnell was not wearing an oxygen mask when paramedics transported him to a local hospital.

“One of my neighbors is like, ‘Oh yeah, it’s Mitch, I saw his face,’” the anonymous resident told CNN.

Previously released emergency dispatch audio indicated that McConnell had been found unconscious at his home and that first responders performed CPR before transporting him to the hospital.

The neighbor who recorded the video told CNN that the paramedics appeared calm during the response and did not display any visible signs of urgency or panic while caring for the senator.

“In a situation where perhaps time is of the essence, there seems to be a little bit more urgency, but there was no urgency here,” they said.
