Jimmy Kimmel, a late-night host, took to social media to mock Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., following his recent hospitalization. Kimmel is currently on summer break from hosting his show on ABC but decided to take a jab at McConnell anyway.

McConnell’s Hospitalization

McConnell, 84, was hospitalized on June 14. To address online speculation about his current status, his office released a photo of McConnell and his wife, Elaine Chao, holding a current newspaper. Kimmel spoofed the photo by replacing McConnell’s head with his own and adding the caption: ‘For those who’ve been asking, I’m feeling great.’ Some progressives applauded the joke.

In a statement released by his team alongside the photo, McConnell wrote that a fall he suffered last month, combined with his childhood battle with polio, contributed to his recent health struggles. He confirmed he won’t be able to return to the Senate floor for votes as he recovers but has been working closely with his legislative staff.
