    It is really sad and disgusting how long it took all those people standing around him laughing and joking to even respond to this. Or even see he was having a problem. And it was even dumber that they didn’t escort him away for medical attention immediately, gotta make him look good for the cameras. NO. There is no saving face, get him medical help. I HATE Bitch McConnell, but damn do the right thing here.

      What do you expect? They’re Republicans. Worse, they’re Republican congressional staffers. They don’t give a shit about other people.

      This is on brand for Republicans. As evil as McConnell is, and as horrible as he’s made the Republican party so far, they are still the Republican party. Which means they’ll use McConnell as long as convenient, even if they have to weekend at Bernie him.

      I mean, I think it was more people didn’t know what to do immediately. Looking at the video the other politicians around him did seem genuinely concerned.
