FRAIL McCONNELL FLOPS HARD: 'Kidnapping' Query Sends Him Crashing

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, the 83-year-old Kentucky Republican who has clung to power for 40 years since voters first sent him to Washington in 1985, crumpled to the floor Thursday in the Russell Senate Office Building basement.

A reporter cornered McConnell with a pointed question: "Do you support ICE taking working people off the streets and kidnapping them?"

McConnell stumbled hard, his polio-weakened leg betraying him yet again.

Aides scrambled to hoist the frail figure back upright.

He waved feebly at the camera before shuffling off — ever the showman in decline.

Spokesman David Popp spun the spectacle, noting, "He’s all good – went on to vote and ready to vote again at 1:30 p.m… to see if Dems decide to fund our nation’s defense priorities or not."

This tumble marks McConnell's latest humiliating header in a parade of pratfalls exposing his senescence.

February brought double doom: He toppled twice in one day, including a brutal spill down marble steps after voting to confirm HUD Secretary Scott Turner.

Wednesday's wreckage proved worse.

"Mitch McConnell fell outside the chamber, and per GOP senators, also fell inside the GOP lunch," CNN's Manu Raju reported.

Witnesses spotted the Senate's senior stumblebum wheeled away like yesterday's news.

Last December, McConnell sprained his wrist at a Senate Republican luncheon—needing helping hands just to hobble.

Freezing episodes have frozen him mid-sentence, a grotesque glitch in the GOP's geriatric machine.

Childhood polio left one leg a lifelong liability, yet this establishment fossil refuses retirement.

America watches a once-cunning operator reduced to a wheezing wreck — still scheming, still blocking, still betraying conservatives who built his throne.

When you're so old you can't walk without falling, Mitch, isn't it time to resign?

Step aside, geezer. The Republic demands fresh blood, not your endless, enfeebled reign.
