“Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) suddenly stopped speaking during a weekly Republican leadership press conference on Wednesday afternoon, appearing to freeze, and then went silent and was walked away,” NBC News reports.
“McConnell had been making his opening remarks and suddenly stopped talking. His Republican colleagues asked if he was okay and Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) escorted McConnell away from the cameras and reporters.”
“Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) made a sign of the cross as if she was praying for McConnell.”
