Conservative activist Laura Loomer and journalist Desiree Townsend both claimed Monday that Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) has been declared “brain dead,” citing unnamed sources.
“Senator McConnell appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital.
The Senator continues to improve, and is working closely with his staff on Kentucky and Senate matters while the Senate is out of session,” the spokesperson told Breitbart News.
Loomer wrote on X that, according to a senior source she said was close to the White House, McConnell had been declared brain dead and was not expected to recover.
“High level source close to the White House tells me Mitch McConnell is officially brain dead.
McConnell, 84, is the longest-serving Senate leader in U.S. history and is serving out his final term, which ends in January.
Three days after McConnell was hospitalized, his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, traveled to Beijing, where she met with Chinese Vice President Han Zheng. »
