Mitch McConnell aide flees demands for proof-of-life footage

[Guno צְבִי]

Demands for proof-of-life footage of the long-absent Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) have finally been met — with video of his spokesman fleeing.

The video shows Nicholas Ballasy, an independent journalist who works on Capitol Hill, asking Senior Communications Adviser Robert Steurer about Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear's demands for proof McConnell is fit to serve.

"Are you guys going to respond to Governor Beshear?" asked Ballasy. "Are you going to release a video of McConnell? Are you going to release anything in addition to the second photo? Anything you can say, sir, in response to the governor's letter?"

Steurer does not respond in the video, and simply continues to climb the stairs.

If McConnell were to pass away or be permanently incapacitated, recent legal changes passed by the Republican-controlled legislature of Kentucky would bypass Beshear's previous power to appoint an interim senator and require a special election directly.

Ballasy's video can be seen here.

The governor should give McConnell forty eight hours to make his intentions known, with Beshear's to act if McConnell does not.

They should send cops to check it out.

Not at all. Can you ever tell the truth? Biden spoke in public and had press conferences. He talked to the press and answered questions.
Right now, he is fighting late-stage cancer. That is public knowledge,

Define barely. He spoke to the press politely. To you, that is a sign of weakness. He was not the least accessible. Nixon and Coolidge were more hidden.
