Mitch McConnell denies he's suffering from health problems after worrying pics show his heavily bruised hands and lips
MITCH McConnell laughed off rumors he was suffering from serious medical illnesses after he showed up on Capitol Hill with bruised lips and bandages on his hands.
The Senate Majority Leader avoided questions from reporters regarding his health Thursday afternoon, telling them there were "no concerns" despite his hands being heavily bruised and his lips featuring a large black and blue.
"Of course not," McConnell responded when asked if he had any health issues people should know about.
McConnell, who is up for reelection in his home state in Kentucky, and his aide did not respond when asked if he was being treated by a doctor.
The 78-year-old had been delivering speeches on the Senate floor this week while chamber is in session.
He spoke in favor of Judge Amy Coney Barrett's nomination to the Supreme Court on Thursday.
