The irony of ironies, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell recently suffered a concussion after a slip and fall accident at a former Trump hotel.
He is currently in the hospital for continued observation after he sustained this injury.
The Gateway Pundit reports that spokesman David Popp said on Thursday afternoon that McConnell would remain in the hospital under observation for many days after this accident.
It turned out that McConnell fell while attending a fundraising dinner for the Senate Leadership Fund super PAC at the Waldorf Astoria, DC. This hotel was once a Trump property, and some have noted the irony that McConnell fell at a former Trump property and injured himself so badly. His spokesperson put out the following comment about the situation:
Leader McConnell tripped at a dinner event Wednesday evening and has been admitted to the hospital and is being treated for a concussion. He is expected to remain in the hospital for a few days of observation and treatment. The Leader is grateful to the medical professionals for their care and to his colleagues for their warm wishes.
Gray News reporter Stetson Miller released this statement from the spokesperson.
CBS News reporter Alan He also jumped in on reporting on this situation and said that Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) commented on the matter by saying: Barrasso re: McConnell after leaving the GOP lunch Hes going to be fine. Hes going to be observed, you know, concussion protocol. I expect a full recovery. Q. Is he talking to people? Yeah, hes awake talking to people.
The Gateway Pundit reports that McConnells staff was not completely forthcoming about the situation when they first released information about the Senators health. Therefore, many people are still curious about what is truly going on with the Senator. However, most news outlets are reporting that the Senators health is expected to make a full comeback at some point.
The staff finally came forward and said: This evening, Leader McConnell tripped at a local hotel during a private dinner. He has been admitted to the hospital where he is receiving treatment.
Punchbowl News was the first to report about the fall.
