Mitch McConnell: The Latest Example of Our Decrepit Elite
"He just vanished. She's still running for re-election. His name's on the ballot, getting endorsements, getting financing, money being spent, but he is just he was gone. And they refused to give any information."
Greenwald discloses that New Jersey Republican Congressman Tom Kaine disappeared for months without explanation while still actively running for reelection, accepting endorsements and campaign funds. His office provided no information beyond stating he was treating a medical issue, despite the GOP's narrow House majority making his absence politically significant. Kaine eventually claimed he had been hospitalized for depression, though Greenwald notes no documentation was provided and questions remain about the truthfulness of the explanation.
