social media users

about the health of Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell of Kentucky.
Several reputable news media outlets
reported
that the 84-year-old — who is
among

admitted to a hospital
on June 14. At the time of publication, his condition was unknown, leading to rumors about whether or not he was alive.
People online

and that his staff were hiding it from the public. One post stated: "Is there a law that requires the Senate to disclose the death of a Senator within a certain number of days? #WhereIsMitch"

In an email regarding McConnell's health, spokesperson Stephanie Penn directed us to a statement from June 24, ahead of the Senate gaveling out of session, that read: "Senator McConnell is still working closely…
