EMS performed CPR at Mitch McConnell's home same day he was hospitalized: Dispatch audio
Emergency responders were called to Sen. Mitch McConnell's Washington, D.C. address for a report of a person unconscious on the same morning that the Republican former Senate Majority Leader was taken to the hospital, publicly available audio from D.C. Fire and EMS dispatch confirms.
"CPR in progress," a D.C. Fire and EMS paramedic said over the radio before 9 a.m. on June 14, just six minutes after the initial call came from McConnell's home near the U.S. Capitol about an "unconscious" person.
One minute later, a dispatcher said paramedics were dealing with a "cardiac arrest." The senator's name was not mentioned during the radio calls, and whether EMS was referring to the 84-year-old McConnell in the dispatch has not been confirmed.
On the same day as the radio dispatches, McConnell spokesperson David Popp told news outlets that the Republican former Majority Leader was admitted to the hospital and was "receiving excellent care." A day later, his spokesperson said McConnell remained "fully engaged with staff on Senate business and Kentucky matters." Popp did not reveal the reason for McConnell's hospitalization.

We knew that he was *unconscious" but did we know this? I think he's probably now totally incompetent.
