I don't know if it's true or not (before people throw a fit), but these remarks are coming from an interview done with Katie Couric and are being ran by a couple local Kentucky news outlets and yahoo has picked it up as well.

quote:

Despite recent evidence to the contrary, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear isn’t so sure that Senator Mitch McConnell is actually alive.

Speaking with journalist Katie Couric in an interview published on YouTube July 15, Beshear explained why he had requested a formal update from McConnell’s office earlier this month. In his explanation, Beshear revealed that he had received information from multiple officials indicating that the 84-year-old Republican had passed away.





New Republic Article

Here is where the comments are coming from. The governor tells Katie Couric he's heard from two agencies that McConnell has passed away.

RIP, Turtle. He was the consummate swamp rat -- he knew how to get his judges through.

Here is the Katie Couric interview where the governor says he heard he has passed away from "multiple non government officials" (I presume that would be hospital "officials?)

Was the cause of death a cocaine overdose?

We don't know that he is dead. But apparently the governor has been told by two separate agencies that he is dead.

You're proving in real time that you really can't read.

The governor is saying he has heard he is dead.

Andy Beshear is a piece of shite who wants to appoint a Democrat. I wouldn't believe a single thing he says.

I don't know, but count me skeptical on the photo they released as a "proof of life." He looked awfully chipper in that photo and we haven't heard shite since.

If I were his PR team I probably would have at least had him say hello to his constituents in a video or something.
