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.

A spokesperson for Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said he had spoken with McConnell by phone on Monday and that the two had a "lengthy and substantive conversation that covered a variety of topics, including national security." As leader, Thune is generally kept up to date on illnesses and absences in his conference as he has to navigate vote counts and his narrow 53-47 majority.

Wyoming Sen. John Barrasso, the No. 2 Senate Republican, had a 20-minute conversation with McConnell on Tuesday, according to a spokeswoman. The two discussed Senate races ahead of the midterm elections, the Supreme Court and other topics, the statement said.

--------------------------------

Either Loonie Loomer is a liar (big surprise), or the GOP is in the middle of a cover-up.

Addison Mitchell McConnell III.... remember, we can only use things assigned to us at birth.

[Kristy7]

McConnell, Pelosi and the like should have been gone years ago. Most politicians are for  themselves not us. They all make phony statements and promises never to do anything productive for everyone.
They want us to be dependent upon them so they stay in office they don't do the good for the country.
