Sen. McConnell freezes during press conference, raises concerns

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., raised concerns Wednesday when he froze during a news conference.

In the middle of his remarks to the press, McConnell stared ahead and stopped talking.

After an awkward pause, fellow lawmakers ushered him to his office.

“Hey Mitch, anything else you want to say or should we just go back to your office?” Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., said to McConnell. “Do you want to say anything else to the press?”

McConnell returned to answer press questions, telling reporters he was “fine.”
