U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell was spotted late Monday afternoon after U.S. Capitol Police were seen rushing to the Washington, D.C. residence of the 84-year-old Kentucky Republican earlier in the day.
Journalist Nick Sortor posted video of the rare sighting, indicating: “Mitch McConnell has just been seen for the first time in over THREE MONTHS, leaving his DC home with a massive police escort.
“The Senate has already started voting, so unsurprisingly, he’s late. This dude is in NO shape to be a US Senator.”

Just after 4 p.m. Sortor had posted another video, saying: “Capitol Police ENCIRCLE Mitch McConnell’s house while he’s still NOWHERE TO BE FOUND despite the Senate convening over an HOUR ago.
“The fact our Senators have SO MUCH CONTEMPT for us that we’re not even allowed to know if they’re ALIVE is INSANE. 95 DAYS since he’s been seen.”

McConnell’s disappearing act began with his hospitalization in June, and the Daily Beast reported Monday: “Missing Sen. Mitch McConnell has been cashing it in during his prolonged and mysterious absence from Capitol Hill.
“McConnell, the former Senate majority leader who earns an annual salary of $174,000, made $43,500 in taxpayer-funded paychecks during his 92-day absence from the halls of Congress.”
And the senator’s staff has also been rolling in dough, as the Beast noted: “The Kentucky senator’s six highest-paid staffers earned a combined $318,688 pre-tax in the past 92 days that he has been missing from Capitol Hill. His Senate office is led by his camera-shy chief of staff, Terry Carmack, who earns $226,000 annually.
“The senator’s communications director, Stephanie Penn, earns about $214,000 per year, as she has presided over this PR disaster. When accounting for the rest of McConnell’s office, which has about 40 staffers including low-level employees, the Daily Beast calculated that his entire staff received around $893,872 pre-tax in the last 92 days that their boss has been missing.”
