Sen. Mitch McConnell was taken to the hospital after a medical emergency at his home in Washington, D.C. last month. According to eyewitnesses and new video, emergency responders took McConnell to an ambulance on a stretcher.
Details of the Incident
A neighbor of McConnell’s reported seeing commotion outside their home at around 8:30 a.m. on June 14, with two ambulances, a fire truck, and Capitol Police officers blocking the street. The neighbor said they asked officers what was going on and were told there had been a “medical emergency.” When the neighbor inquired if McConnell was having a medical emergency, officers said they would block the street for anybody.
Videos taken by the neighbor show emergency responders wheeling a person on a stretcher toward an ambulance. The videos are shot from a distance, and the face of the person is not visible. Once in the ambulance, the person’s lower legs appear to be covered by an orange blanket, but their feet are visible.
McConnell’s team has not disclosed what prompted the senator to be taken to the hospital, nor have they disclosed specific details of his condition. Friends and former colleagues have reported talking to McConnell in recent days, but they have not offered any details about his health.
