Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) made a complete fool of herself (as she so often does) during a Sunday appearance on Fox “News” when she asserted that President Joe Biden isn’t “capable of leadership,” but Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is “on top of his game” despite two recent episodes when he froze while speaking and had to be led away.
Host Jason Chaffetz asked Blackburn about McConnell’s health.
“You have people that are having medical issues and seriously cognitive issues in their ability to do their job, not just Joe Biden, which is well documented. Sen. Feinstein, Sen. Fetterman are also dealing with hard, difficult issues, as well as the Senate minority leader, Mitch McConnell, who’s had two medical episodes.
“Can these people continue to be in leadership positions, let alone serve in their capacities in the House and the Senate?”
Blackburn responded, “Jason, I think the one that deserves our attention at the top of the list is President Biden, who is to be the leader of the free world. And when you see Joe Biden struggle with words, with days, with times, with places, then it drives home the point of how important it is to have someone who is capable in leadership.”
Surprisingly, Chaffetz pressed again.
“But Senator, I do need to ask you about Mitch McConnell. Twice he’s been at the microphone and had a dramatic pause. There’s some belief that he had an accident, a slip, a fall, perhaps a concussion. Can he continue to lead the Senate Republicans in that capacity?”
Blackburn: “I’ve talked to people who were with him right after that, and he was alert and fine and moving forward, asking questions, very involved with the meeting that he was attending and seemed to be on top of his game.”
On top of his game? Is that what you call this?
Maybe it’s time we had Sen. Blackburn checked to see if she still has a brain.
