A right-wing political activist with close ties to President Donald Trump and senior figures in his administration has claimed that former Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell is "brain dead" and will not be returning to Congress.

The bombshell claim by online influencer Laura Loomer came after days of speculation swirling around the 84-year-old Kentucky senator's ailing health.

McConnell suffered a heart attack on June 14, and aides have refused to provide details about his condition other than insisting he was recovering in the hospital.

"High level source close to the White House tells me 'Mitch McConnell is officially brain dead. He's not coming back,'" Loomer wrote in a post on X.

Operating outside of an official government title, Loomer, 33, has been nicknamed "Trump's loyalty enforcer" by administration insiders aware of her close relationship with the president.

She has successfully lobbied the administration to oust aides, cancel appointments, and shift policies regarding personnel she deems insufficiently loyal.

Loomer's assertion could not be officially verified despite repeated requests for comment to McConnell's staffers.

Neighbors at his Washington, D.C. home said they had not seen McConnell since he was taken to the hospital.

McConnell's wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, was spotted in China three days after his hospitalization. She has not made any comment about her husband's health.

I try not to post rumors, but I have seen this in several locations. One report also claims that he has passed away.

I don't trust anything Loonie Loomer says. She is an evil manipulator.

It doesn't mean it isn't true, just that I don't trust her as a source. She could be leading a dysinformation campaign.

Pretty impressive to be a senator for 41 years with that condition. 🤣

This entire situation is completely insane. It would be nice if we had strict term limits and age restrictions, both incoming AND outgoing.

I'd be cautious with this story, even the online gossip spots are hedging their bets with this one.
