Cory Booker to prove he is capable of carrying out the job he is paid taxpayer money to complete.<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>McConnell\u2019s health mystery dates back to June 14 for what his office claims was a fall followed by a case of pneumonia. Since then, the lawmaker has shared two photos of himself smiling next to his wife, but no videos to show his movement or his voice. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>McConnell, 84, has not called in to any news networks, either. Burnett said this raises serious questions about whether he should still be in office\u2014questions Kentucky\u2019s Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear has also frequently raised this month.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt matters where everybody is&#8230; and Sen. Mitch McConnell\u2019s presence matters. He has not spoken publicly,\u201d she said, noting it has been 44 days since his fall. \u201cDo you agree with Beshear\u2018s demand at this point? And I know, of course, you have empathy for the senator and whatever he is going through, but do you agree with Beshear?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Booker said he did have empathy for his colleague, but also said that Beshear was correct.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis state deserves two acting senators who can get the job done, and if this is something where he\u2018s not going to be returning to the job or is incapacitated and unable to do the job, then he is right to demand transparency and accountability,\u201d Booker said. \u201cI think if they\u2019re hiding something, that is really undermining what the public will should be demanding.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McConnell\u2019s office is led by longtime aide Terry Carmack, who is set to make $226,000 this year. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4468\">Trump Embarrassed as Deadline Passes in Key SCOTUS Case<\/a><\/p>\n<p>McConnell claimed in his statement on Monday that he is still handling Senate business. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m still working hard to get back to my full schedule of work in the Senate and in Kentucky, keeping up with intense physical therapy per my doctors\u2019 orders,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>But it seems the public is not taking his word for it.<\/p>\n<p>Burnett asked Booker whether some of his Republican colleagues who claimed to have spoken with McConnell, like Sen. John Thune, can explain why the senator has not just picked up the phone already.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHas anyone explained to you\u2014because maybe you\u2018ve talked to some of the senators who said they\u2018ve spoken to Senator McConnell\u2014has anyone given you an answer as to why, if he\u2018s able to talk to them on the phone, as they say he has, he can\u2018t post a video or call into a show or a podcast?&#8221; she asked.<\/p>\n<p>Booker\u2019s response was not encouraging for those searching for answers on McConnell\u2019s health.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo. None whatsoever,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd that\u2018s very concerning.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Beshear has also sent a letter to Thune, which he wrote \u201cunder the assumption that [McConnell] is capable of reading and responding verbally, and not incapacitated by means of consciousness or cognition.\u201d<\/p>\n<div>\n<p>\u201cPer our research, a vacancy in the Senate occurs when a senator dies, resigns, or is expelled by a vote of the Senate itself,\u201d Beshear wrote. \u201cIf Senator McConnell is unwilling to voluntarily show that he still has the capacity to serve, I will insist that you, as the Majority Leader of the Senate, fully investigate his condition, report to the American people, and begin the process if warranted.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=4466\">Kentucky Governor Drags Scott Jennings Into Mitch McConnell Demand<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CNN host Erin Burnett is upping the pressure on Sen.
