WATCH: Mitch McConnell Freezes During Press Conference, Taken Away By Republican Colleagues

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) was escorted away from the podium during his weekly press conference on Wednesday after freezing mid-sentence, raising questions about his health.

McConnell, who is 81 and suffered a concussion earlier this year, was addressing the press when he inexplicably stopped talking, requiring his Republican colleagues to intervene and escort him away.

Ken Klippenstein, a reporter for The Intercept, shared a video of the incident on X, the social media site formerly known as Twitter.
