Mitch McConnell held a news conference this week and it has sparked a whole conversation about his health. While he is insists he is just fine, photographs seem to indicate something larger might be going on with his health.
While waiting to address reporters, Mitch McConnell dropped his mask and when he bent over to pick it up, Associated Press photographer Yuri Gripas captured an image that is quite startling.

Other angles were just as severe, showing extensive bruising and multiple bandages.
Close-ups of his face also seemed like there might be more going on than he is letting on, with notable bruising and yellowing around his eyes.
Internet doctors, real and imagined, have noted this type of bruising is common for certain types of blood thinners, although this would appear to be a more severe case.
For comparison, just two weeks ago, at a debate on October 12 with Democratic challenger Amy McGrath, McConnell’s hands and face looked quite different.
McConnell was quick to deny he has any health concerns, telling CNN reporters Ted Barrett and Clare Foran he had "no concerns" when asked if he was having a health problem voters should know about before Election Day. After all, he is up for a new six-year term and voters have a right to know if he’s up for the job.
The self-proclaimed Grim Reaper might be telling others he has “no concerns” but will voters buy it? What we can see with our own eyes isn’t exactly the picture of health.
