The Mitch photo is a fake...on-line sleuths did a great job

"The 2026 Statement: McConnell broke nearly a month of silence following his June 14, 2026, hospitalization with a statement released via News Nation.Photo Origins: Social media sleuths quickly pointed out that the smiling photo of McConnell and his wife, Elaine Chao, is identical to the picture originally circulated in March 2023 following a severe fall and concussion, as noted on Facebook.The Newspaper Detail: While the 2023 hospital photo was reused, the newspaper McConnell is holding in his hand appears to have been digitally updated to a current edition (such as a recent Washington Post sports section) to act as a "proof of life," according to New York Magazine.Continued Scrutiny: The reuse of this photograph—combined with his wife's recent trip to China—has fueled intense internet speculation regarding the transparency and actual status of the senator's health, as reported by The Daily Beast."

GOP thinks we are morons to buy this BS!

BigmanPigman thinks usage of a stock photo is some sort of gotcha-moment?

Isn't BigPig one of the DU-members who have claimed to have a fatal disease?
