Entire story content:

Sen. Mitch McConnell, 83, fell to the ground in a Capitol hallway Thursday afternoon as he made his way to Senate votes. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates.

New update:

McConnell, who announced in February that he would not seek reelection, fell to the floor while two volunteers from the environmental advocacy group Sunrise Movement approached the senator and asked him a question about Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions. He did not respond to the question. The senator seemed unsteady, but got up and kept walking with the help of his detail. He then waved to the two individuals who were questioning him.

Attack by environmental terrorists confirmed.

It's so sad that McConnell isn't going to live to see the America he was so instrumental in creating.

As long as he didn’t land on the back of his shell, he should be able to get up. Turtles are pretty close to the ground anyway.

I’m guessing they’re tying the rise of fascism to the capitalist socioeconomic system. Which is a correct take.

Ah, I guess I'll just grow my own food at home with water I pump by hand and seeds I collected from the wilderness. To avoid feeding into The System, I mean 🙄
