Mitch McConnell Holds Emergency Press Event - Makes Unexpected Announcement

Hey ladies and gentlemen, this is Carmine Sabia for Explain America and Mitch McConnell

has just revealed what his future plans are after the latest freezing incident he had

and it took a lot of people, and I mean a lot of people, by surprise

So the Senate Minority Leader and Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell, 81 years old, has

suffered two freezing incidents over the summertime in front of cameras, in front

of reporters. Now that leads a lot of people to believe, with no evidence, we have no evidence of this

but logic, right? It leads a lot of people to believe that these incidents happen more frequently than we know about

If they happen two times caught on camera, you start to ask yourself, what are the odds

that every time this happens, he's in front of cameras? Also, the way his staff reacts to them, without a sense of urgency

If you saw somebody in your family, in your life, for the first time freeze up the way

he freezes up, what would you do? You'd be calling a hospital, you'd be screaming for paramedics, you'd be doing something, right

They're very calm, because they've seen this before, is my guess. So reporters asked him yesterday, point blank, what are your plans for the future

Are you going to retire? Are you going to step aside as leader

McConnell indicated that he will not retire from the Senate, but he also indicated, and

I think this came as a surprise to a lot of people, that he will not step aside as leader

of the Republican Party in the Senate. And I think that's the worst part, because that to me is somebody who cares more about

the power than the party, more about the power than the country

He, in my opinion, does not appear to be capable of handling this job anymore

One of the smartest guys to ever be in the Senate, has done tremendous things for the country and tremendous things for our party

Let's make no mistake about it. Is he a fan of Donald Trump? No

But does he play a major role, or did he play a major role in the fact that we have a conservative

majority on the Supreme Court? Absolutely. Did he play a major role in appointing Republicans and conservatives to federal benches all across

the country? Yes, he did. He's one of the best chess players in the history of the Senate

But you have to know when it's time, right? Tom Brady had to know when it was time

Brett Favre had to know when it was time. Derek Jeter had to know when it was time

You can be great at what you do, but age, age is the great equalizer, right

Age does not stop for anybody, and none of us, none of us, not you, not me, can do the

same things we could do 20 years ago, right? Unless you're in some incredible medical wonder

You know, I can't do what I did when I was 25, you know

Things change, and McConnell should realize that, and he should realize that for the sake

of the country, for the sake of the party, for the sake of everybody involved, and for

his family, his family. Where are these people's families? Where's Dianne Feinstein's family

Where's Joe Biden's family? Where's Mitch McConnell's family? Where are their families to step in and say, enough, enough, grandpa, enough, grandma, enough

Enjoy your golden years. Retire. I think it's a dereliction from the family's part as well, and I think the Republican Party

needs to insist, and they have been, some of them have been, that it's time for Mr

McConnell to step aside. Among them, Rand Paul and Josh Hawley, you know, are saying it's time for him to step aside

Because he could destroy his legacy by holding onto power a little too long

Folks, I want to thank you again for joining us here at Explain America

Please comment on this story. I want to know what you think about McConnell and if he should retire, or if he should keep

the Senate seat but just step aside as majority leader or minority leader

Again, thank you for watching. Please remember to also like, share, and subscribe, because that does really help us out

I'm Carmine Sabia. This is Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you

Take care, everybody
