Fact check:
President Donald Trump said McConnell was “mentally unequipped” after McConnell refused to vote to confirm Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Fox News. Trump also called McConnell a “very bitter guy,” the outlet reported.
X Post claims that McConnell died in February 2025. “Mitch is clearly dead. At least these evil PR-CKs will never enjoy retirement a few years before hell,” the post reads. The post contains screenshots from another X post announcing the death of McConnell at the age of 82.
The claim is false. Original post It was shared on X on February 17th by the parody account @Brkng911. account I'll explain it In itself, it is as a “parody artist” through its bio. “If you fall for my bait, you owe me $8,” adds Bio on the account.

Similarly, make sure your facts found no reference to McConnell's claims. Website Or his verification Social media account. Trump it's not It looks like you have I commented publicly Also about the claims.
Also, check the facts found There are no reliable news reports To support claims. In fact, the opposite is true. February 18th, Lead Story I exposed the claims and tracked its origins on the same post that I share on my parody account.
Although the claim is wrong, McConnell collapsed twice at the U.S. Capitol on February 5th, urging him to be escorted from the wheelchair building. USA TODAY It has been reported. (Related: Did the State Department say they'd buy a $400 million worth of Tesla truck?)
