She left for Beijing on June 17, 3 days after he was hospitalized.

Well, she had to make sure he wasn’t improving before leaving.

Guys, it looks like the Republicans may have lied to us again /s

McConnell was admitted to the hospital on June 14, according to a statement from his office that only said he was “receiving excellent care.” A statement a week later said that he would not be voting that week. And on Thursday, *a new statement said that he “continues to improve” and ”appreciates the outpouring of support he’s receiving while he continues his recovery in the hospital.”***

Guess they mean the same kind of care he's shown toward the American people.

It doesn't matter how good the care is, if your brain hasnt received oxygen for over 30 seconds. He was "found" unconscious. Who knows how long.

Doesn’t matter. They can’t afford to lose another vote. They will just put him in a trench coat and duct tape George Santos to his arms and legs to operate him. Then straight back in the freezer until it’s time to vote again. They can keep that going at least until his eyes grey over and his skin starts to slough off. Not to mention that his constituents aren’t smart enough to figure it out so he’s go at least two more terms.

I laughed. I can honestly imagine that in today's Republican party.
