“Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) declared his health is ‘just fine’ Tuesday as he declined to explain photographs last week showing his hands bruised and bandaged. The 78-year-old dismissed the issue as a media fixation, despite his own history of health issues related to his heart and a serious fall last year that left him out of the public eye for five weeks. ‘I can just tell you that I’m just fine. And I can’t believe y’all have played with that all week long,’ McConnell said in a telephone interview as he traveled back to Kentucky for the final week of a reelection campaign in which he is asking voters for a seventh, six-year term” – Washington Post.
