McConnell's Home Undergoing Weirdly Timed Refurbishment

As the mystery surrounding Mitch McConnell’s health drags into its fourth week, another curious subplot has emerged inside his Washington, D.C., home.

A man carrying carpet samples and flooring materials was spotted by TMZ leaving the Republican senator’s Capitol Hill residence this week, suggesting the house is undergoing some kind of refurbishment while McConnell remains hospitalized.


TMZ said their producer spoke to the man off camera, who was carrying an array of carpet samples in shades of white, blue, and grey. According to the outlet, new tiles were also being considered.

.....

Some pondered if the longtime senator or his family might simply be making long-planned improvements to the house, while others questioned if the new renovations were connected to the medical emergency McConnell suffered on June 14, when first responders raced to the home and found him unconscious and in need of CPR.

Mitch leaked?

Anyone with medical background who can provide insight?

this new information may not be a conspiracy.

Good flooring is essential safety feature for any elderly person--for ALL in fact.

I do not wish McConnell any harm even though I certainly do not approve of his policies.

went through a vigorous CPR.

His wife posted a cryptic post but was of little value. Nor do I trust any Republican to say what shape he is in.

1. Mitch is drooling and brain dead.

2. After a life long quest to be the most bigoted cocksucker in America he's decided that he's going to "rest a bit" before he starts an effort to win more gold medals than Mark Spitz.

I wonder if the wife is caulking the walls and hiding any evidence that the entire house was bugged.

Mitch McConnell probably had visitors who had secrets they shared with him.

So, the question is, who visited his homestead, and were they compromised?

For any type of rehab or long term care. It is hard to push any type of medical equipment over. Any spills from from body fluids will get absorbed and stink. There is a reason why hospitals use tile flooring.
