Republican Kentucky Rep. Brett Guthrie insinuated that Republican Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell \u2014 absent from public for weeks following a medical emergency \u2014 isn\u2019t even in Washington, D.C.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Guthrie told the Daily Caller that\u2019s not what he meant.<\/p>\n

In a video\u00a0posted to X by Courier Journal state politics reporter Keely Doll, Guthrie said he has contacted people on Mitch McConnell\u2019s staff and exchanged text messages with the senator, but has not spoken with him directly by phone.\u00a0(RELATED: Kentucky Gov.

Guthrie added that he understood McConnell had spoken with John Thune \u201cyesterday, or the day before,\u201d as well as John Barrasso and others.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

While discussing McConnell\u2019s recovery, Guthrie, who also serves on the Committee on Energy and Commerce, made remarks that appeared to conflict with reports that the senator has remained hospitalized in Washington, D.C., since June 14.<\/p>\n

\u201cI hope he recovers. He\u2019s been a mentor of mine and a friend of mine since I ran for the state Senate a few years ago. And so my thoughts and prayers are with him. I do believe he\u2019s going to recover, and I hope he\u2019s back in Washington soon. We need him back,\u201d Guthrie said.<\/p>\n

McConnell was taken to George Washington University Hospital on June 14, according to a Daily Mail report, and his office has repeatedly declined to disclose the cause of his hospitalization.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

When asked about Guthrie\u2019s remarks and his insinuation that McConnell was not currently in the nation\u2019s capital, a spokesperson for the Committee on Energy and Commerce told the Caller that Guthrie was referring to McConnell\u2019s return to the Senate floor, not his physical location.<\/p>\n

\u201cBack on the floor, back in Washington, or like back in the Senate, not in the hospital,\u201d the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n

When asked whether Guthrie had any additional information about McConnell\u2019s condition to share, the spokesperson told the Caller, \u201cI do not.\u201d<\/p>\n

McConnell has remained hospitalized since June 14 after first responders found him unconscious at his Washington, D.C., home and administered cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) following a cardiac arrest.

An EMS dispatch call released last Wednesday, July 1, shows emergency crews were dispatched to McConnell\u2019s residence at 8:36 a.m. on June 14 for a report of an \u201cunconscious\u201d person. After an Advanced Life Support crew arrived, responders determined the medical emergency was a cardiac arrest.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for McConnell told the Caller that the senator is \u201cworking closely with his staff\u201d as he remains in the hospital.<\/p>\n

The 83-year-old has faced a series of health setbacks in recent years: a fall in the Russell Senate Building, a concussion in 2023, a hospitalization earlier this year for flu-like symptoms, and two widely publicized on-camera freezing episodes.

He announced in 2024 that he would step down as Senate Republican leader and later confirmed he would not seek reelection when his current term ends in January 2027.<\/p>\n
