In reply, Sen. Lee posted: “Many of us aren’t speaking about Mitch McConnell’s condition because we know nothing about his condition.”

But Lee’s assessment contradicts earlier comments from Senate Majority Leader John Thune after McConnell was first hospitalized.

Thune said he had spoken to the 84-year-old and that he “sounded good.”

“He wants to be back, but I’ll defer to his staff on when,” Thune said on June 15.

Popular conservative activist Laura Loomer claimed recently that sources told her that McConnell is in a “vegetative state,” dismissing Thune’s version of events.

“I was in South Dakota all week, and a Thune staffer told a source close to me and the White House that Mitch McConnell is in extreme organ failure,” Loomer posted.

Things with McConnell have gotten worse by the day.

Emergency dispatch audio indicating that an individual at McConnell’s Washington, D.C., residence suffered a reported “cardiac arrest” earlier this month has renewed questions about the former Senate Republican leader’s health and whether he will return to the Senate.

Since the reported incident, McConnell’s office has provided scant details on the former Senate GOP leader’s health condition, except to say that he allegedly “appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital.”

His office last week also said the 84-year-old senator “continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session.”

Al Cross, a veteran Kentucky political journalist who has interviewed McConnell extensively in recent weeks, said the senator’s office has disclosed few details about the medical emergency, a lack of information that has fueled rumors and heightened public speculation about his health.
