Mitch McConnell is sick. And we’re not just talking about his politics. We’re talking about his hands. Something is seriously wrong with them.
Yesterday, a disturbing photograph of the 78-year-old Senate Majority Leader’s hands went viral. At first glance, the hands appear to be covered in dirt and bandaids. But a closer investigation shows they’re actually quite swollen, discolored, and possibly gangrened, almost like they’re about to fall off from his body.

Shortly after that, another deeply troubling photo of McConnell’s hands taken the day before began circulating online.

Whatever is going on, it’s not good.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
The Mary Sue reports:
The internet diagnosed a wide range of potential ailments, from someone who blew a vein trying to take blood, to someone on blood thinners or anti-coagulants, and beyond. Whatever’s happening here, it would appear that McConnell is possibly unwell and perhaps his primary focus shouldn’t be on rushing a Supreme Court Justice through her confirmation by Monday.
Twitter has had a lot to say about the matter…
Mitch McConnell: “They can have another stimulus when they pry it from my cold dead hands!”

Mitch McConnell’s hands are now as black as his soul.

Mitch McConnell’s hands are trending because Mitch McConnell touched a horcrux …

Mitch McConnell’s hands. I’m more than a horror aficionado, I’m an expert. He is undead. I am filing my exclusive report with NYP as I type. pic.twitter.com/BlfAEvRZoc

But the horror show didn’t stop there.
Because not long after taking notice of McConnell’s decaying hands, people started noticing his melting face also appeared to be in the early stages of decomposition.

Once again, Twitter had quite a bit to say about the matter…
Oscar Wilde famously wrote: by middle age every man has the face he deserves. To which I have to say: goddamn, Mitch McConnell.

Mitch McConnell – His hand and face are showing possible respiratory failure and skin mottling.
If so, likely he is dying and I wouldn’t be surprised if he passes in the next few days.

Failed embalming?

Something is wrong with Mitch McConnell. The hands photos speak for themselves but this face shot….homeboy has tons of makeup on and is covering bruises and scabs. He is not. well. pic.twitter.com/8PY6aMiU1l

Mitch McConnell’s whole face is sinking into itself.

Always knew this would happen. Ghouls can only maintain a physical form for so long before their corrupted spirit cores begin to breakdown.

Of course, we would never wish ill on anyone. Never, ever, ever!
So instead, we’ll wish McConnell, who has spent the better part of the last decade trying to take away healthcare from millions of Americans, all the best in finding a manicurist willing to touch those tentacles.
Good luck, Senator!

Bruising like that could be an indicator of serious liver damage.

It’s time that McConnell’s nasty ass is put into a nursing home!!
BaltoSteve
Looks like the bruising my grandmother had when they had to put IV’s in the veins on her hands. Perhaps Moscow may have spent some time under a Doctor’s care.
Liquid Silver
He lost his reliquary.

Mordor creature,
He’s a disgusting human being! Anyone who doesn’t care about folks suffering thru this pandemic is evil and should be dismissed. There’s a special place for you Mitch McConnell you’ll be nice & toasty :/
IndependentForever
First, I hope he loses tomorrow however I doubt the citizens of Kentucky are smart enough to vote him out. If the Kentuckians find that insulting, TOUGH!, we will find out tomorrow and I will apologize if he loses. If not, then the people of Kentucky will have proven they are, in Trump speak, low intellect.
Whatever happens and whatever is happening with McConnell I hope he suffers the rest of his days.

Halloween a little early, dead man walking?…joking aside looks as if poor blood circulation and other conditions many get as they age.
missvamp
as a nurse, i can tell you for a fact, it could be a number of things. organ failure(liver, kidney is a high possibility), some type of cancer treatment he’s been hiding. blood pressure issues, dehydration(that’s required repeated iv’s- that would explain the blown veins). blood thinners would also explain the bruising & petiche. he may have taken a nasty fall. any minor injury on blood thinners causing massive bruising. but being on blood thinners at his age is a sign of high risk issues. he’s not long for this world.
woodroad34
I was going to mention blood thinners. I have a couple of friends with heart problems who were put on blood thinners and they had bruises like those all over their arms and necks.
rand503
Thank you for solid information. Do you think he is diabetic? I’ve seen that sort of bruising on diabetics when they just have normal procedures done.
RobCNYC
He did just fall & break his shoulder a month or so ago, right? So bruising from that. Well, plus black soul… wouldn’t it be poetic justice if he passed this weekend before the Senate vote to confirm Amy Covid Barrett?
Kangol2
His soul is many things but black/Black it ain’t. It’s as cold and white as the barely driven snow!

I take the point about liver damage but the apparent liver malfunction could be due to a form of leukaemia. Basically with this particular form of the disease the body only manufactures deformed red blood cells. You need blood transfusions from time to time to make up for this but in the end there is nothing anyone can do. Once they diagnose this particular form you have about six months to live maximum. Time will tell if this is the case but it looks to me like he is clearly dying. That would make him a dier, even worse than a loser in Trump’s view.
Joshooeerr
People get old. Skin becomes thinner. Blood circulation is compromised. Bruising happens more easily and is more severe. I agree Mitch McConnell is the devil incarnate, but making fun of someone for conditions that many, actually most, old people experience is not cool. It’s extremely ignorant. Stick to criticising his politics,
Essie
This didn’t just happen. I’ve noticed for at least the past two years that he appears to be unhealthy. You can tell by his face and how it looks swollen and misshapen. He is very sick and has been for a long time. I was surprised when he ran for the senate again but it’s hard to give up power. After seeing those hands, I think he will probably be dead within the year. He is an evil man but I really wouldn’t wish too much suffering on him. But those hands . . .
barryaksarben
IT IS KARMA. GOD is turning this racist pos into a black man. HE will still be ugly as and as mean as hell
Kangol2
Don’t go there, please. Leave Black people out of it!
He’s horrible but I’m not going to gloat about his sickness. Perhaps this will give his opponent Amy McGrath a boost, though. She is quite a conservative Democrat but she would be considerably better in that Kentucky US Senate seat than Moscow Mitch.
PugsBuddy
Too bad, so sad. My ass bleeds for him.

It could by pernio / perniosis which can occure in covid-19 infection.

i’m also going to say- my sister is under 50 & in stage 4 liver failure. she looks better than him. that says alot about what’s wrong with him. ALOT!!
