He had just been asked if he believed McConnell was the one who released the photo and statement about his health the day before.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Johnson\u2019s bombshell claim quickly gave new life to MAGA conspiracy theories about the image and the 84-year-old senator\u2019s true condition. However, he has since disowned his own remarks when asked about them on NewsNation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOn Monday, you said that you\u2019re not sure that the photo Senator Mitch McConnell shared of himself and his wife over the weekend in the hospital is even a new picture. What made you say that?\u201d asked <i>Morning in America<\/i> anchor Markie Martin. \u201cI\u2019m curious if you\u2019ve gotten any more clarity on that, congressman?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Johnson replied, \u201cWell, the TV host was saying it was AI, and I just said, well, you know, I\u2019d heard that maybe it wasn\u2019t the most recent photo.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>He proceeded to pull the plug on his own allegation, saying, \u201cYeah, I have\u2014I have no idea. Just discount all that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eric Bolling, the Real America\u2019s Voice TV host Johnson was referring to, never said the image posted by McConnell\u2019s office was AI. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3504\">Trump\u2019s Midterm Convention Gets Humiliating Response<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Johnson, who has repeatedly faced scrutiny over his embrace of conspiracy theories, went on to say he hoped McConnell would recover, saying, \u201cFrom my standpoint, I wish Leader McConnell well. I hope he recovers. I hope he returns to the Senate and can help support President Trump\u2019s agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McConnell\u2019s office posted the much-scrutinized photo after spending weeks declining to answer questions about his health. McConnell was taken to a hospital on June 14 after he was found unconscious at his Washington, D.C., home and required CPR.<\/p>\n<p>His office released a lengthy statement on Sunday in which McConnell claimed he did not suffer \u201ca heart attack or a stroke,\u201d but was taken to the hospital after a fall and was \u201cbriefly unconscious.\u201d McConnell said he was dealing with a \u201cmild case of pneumonia.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Johnson is not alone among right-wing figures expressing skepticism about McConnell\u2019s photo and accompanying statement.<\/p>\n<p>Far-right influencer and President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cloyalty enforcer,\u201d Laura Loomer, alleged that the image was \u201cBS\u201d and called for McConnell\u2019s team to release a video of the senator.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cThe text is blurry, and the tag on his shirt is blurred,\u201d Loomer said, alleging that the photo itself was generated by AI. \u201cAlso, if he\u2019s in the hospital, why is there no IV connected to him to monitor his health?
