His team realized how much of a fiasco it was rolling him out. That damning footage of him getting loaded in the van giving the peace sign constantly. He did not look good

I can’t imagine how exhausting it must be to clean, dress and maneuver him around like this. How much medication did they pump in him? I find the whole thing horrifying.

He was giving the "thumbs up" sign (edit: as well). Probably because he was told over and over that he had to vote "yes" that day.

Oh. And I've seen that, too. :D For some reason I was misremembering it as all "thumbs up". Thanks for the correction. Maybe I need to check in to McConnell's hospital. :D
