“Our intrepid TMZ DC producer Charlie Cotton paid a visit to the Senator’s home Friday to see if he could get any answers on Mitch’s health … and he saw something interesting leaving the house,” reported TMZ.
Mitch has been hospitalized since June 14 after paramedics responded to a report of an unconscious person in his Washington, D.C. home. Footage obtained by CNNshows paramedics piling the stricken Kentucky senator.
TMZ reports paramedics appeared to be “showing absolutely no sense of urgency” — suggesting the senator was about as stable as dead can get.
“Marjorie Taylor Greene told us Mitch is a vegetable and his “Communist Chinese spy” wife is meeting with Chinese leaders instead of rushing home to be by his bedside,” TMZ added. “Meanwhile, Scott Jennings says the 84-year-old politician was lucid enough to have a conversation for ‘just shy of 20 minutes’ about current events.
But critics on X exploded at the images of carpet samples.
“Ah yeah … you know when your husband is in hospital, it’s the perfect time to book that contractor to come sell carpet samples,” said professor Adam Cochran on X. “This is all so weird.”

“He’s so dead,” quipped another critic.
“Hollywood will make a movie about this someday,” announced another X heckler. “Just watch.
Other online comedians quickly hopped on the suggestion of post-mortem floor stains.
“Blood is hard to get out of carpets,” said one X user.
“Does he have burgundy?” asked another.
TMZ reports even President Trump has “no idea” how Sen. Mitch McConnell is doing, at least as of a couple of days ago.
“Whatever Mitch’s status is, seems new flooring are a top priority,” TMZ reports.
