    Mitch McConnell voted no, his aides told him to vote aye. McConnell cannot represent the constituents of Kentucky.

    It was odd that McConnell was prompted a second time for his vote, even after he had responded &quot;no&quot;.

    Mitch was saying ‘no’ because the previous vote was NO in absentia. He was copying that vote like a parrot.

    McConnell has had a stroke. It’s astounding how people are so uninformed about stroke, it’s effects on a person, and &nbsp;the side &nbsp;effects of the medications a person must take after a stroke to prevent another one. This has happened with Trump as well, who also had a stroke.

    Two red flags that I see: &nbsp;McConnell doesn&apos;t turn his head even when people around him are talking. It might be a cognitive issue or perhaps related to a neck injury. Also, he is repeatedly seen with a gaping mouth instead of a closed one. That is a characteristic of multiple health conditions, including dementia.
