Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) contended Wednesday that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) is “not fit for office” shortly after he inexplicably froze again during a press gaggle in Covington, Kentucky.
Greene took to X, formerly Twitter, and wrote, “Severe aging health issues and/or mental health incompetence in our nation’s leaders MUST be addressed,” before pointing to President Joe Biden, McConnell, and Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and John Fetterman (D-PA).

These politician’s staff and family members should be ashamed of themselves by enabling and allowing their loved ones to remain in office all to hold power.
We are talking about our country’s national security and it’s all at stake!
25th amendment and other measures need…

“Biden, McConnell, Feinstein, and Fetterman are examples of people who are not fit for office and it’s time to be serious about it,” she wrote.
“These politician’s staff and family members should be ashamed of themselves by enabling and allowing their loved ones to remain in office all to hold power,” she added in a follow-up post. “We are talking about our country’s national security and it’s all at stake!”
Greene said the 25th Amendment, which outlines the presidential succession and disability protocol, “and other measures need to be on the table.”
McConnell’s freeze on Wednesday came when he was asked a question about possibly seeking reelection in 2026. After laughing briefly, he gazed into the distance with an unmoving posture and unblinking eyes for an extended time, according to WLWT’s video. When asked if he heard the reporter, McConnell seemed to say, “Yes,” but continued to remain silent after that.
He delivered a response to the last question on Kentucky Republican gubernatorial nominee Daniel Cameron before slowly walking from the podium.
