Dr. Anthony Fauci used the pandemic to become a celebrity and raise his own profile, proving that having a title and a laundry list of credentials does not mean that someone should simply be trusted as an “expert.” The revelations from Fauci’s diary and emails show a man obsessed with turning the uncertainty and fear […]

Forensic psychologist says new McConnell photo is littered with 'red flags'

Sen. Mitch McConnell's this week released another photo claiming to show him on the road to recovery, but according to one professional psychologist, the photo is still littered with "red flags" that cast doubt on his condition.McConnell has been hospitalized since mid-June after reportedly being found unconscious at his home. Due to his office's lack of transparency about his condition, conspiracy theories have exploded about his true health status, including claims that he is close to death or dead already, and that his status is being hidden to prevent a special election for his Senate seat.In the latest statement released by his office, McConnell claimed that he was still undergoing intensive physical therapy at home after being discharged from the hospital, and was not yet cleared by his doctors to return to the Senate.In a new video reacting to the photo, Dr. John Paul Garrison, a licensed clinical and forensic psychologist with a specialty in body language, highlighted the numerous "red flags" that were still evident in the photo.First and foremost, Garrison noted that the composition of the photo was deliberately chosen to keep McConnell's hands out of frame, to hide any possible "edemas" that they might show, or anything else concerning about them. He also noted that, in general, the photo was designed to answer as few questions about the senator as possible, and communicate only that he is alive and smiling."They don't want you to ask any other questions; they don't want to give any other information," Garrison said.He also noted that, just like in the first photo, McConnell and his wife are looking in two different directions, a notable point of concern. However, this time around, he admitted that it was much less obvious, and that a casual viewing of the photo would not suggest anything was wrong with where they were looking. Chao, he explained, appeared to be properly looking at the camera being used to take the photo. McConnell, in contrast, appeared to be looking instead at the person taking the photo."Once again, this is the best that they could do," he explained. "It doesn't seem that they're able to get him to be with it enough to take a decent photo."Chao, Garrison observed, also appeared to be applying a good amount of pressure as she held her husband's arm in the photo. This suggested that she was putting in effort to keep him still, either because he could not manage to do so himself, or because he might be struggling to sit up properly."The amount of pressure that she has on his arm right there is not affection," Garrison argued. "This is not demonstrating closeness. This is demonstrating that she is providing stability."McConnell also appeared to have the top button on his shirt undone, despite typically having his shirts buttoned all the way up. Garrison said that this could be a sign that his team wanted to have that area of his body easily accessible, which could be for a number of medical reasons. It could also be because the senator would not be comfortable with it done up all the way."I think that tells you just how precarious this situation is," Garrison continued. "And to use the word I used last time, just how fragile he actually is. I think that McConnell is so fragile and so frail that they did some very, very subtle trickery to try to show some degree of liveliness. I do think that this is a very, very carefully positioned picture, and it doesn't show robustness or strength. It just shows that he is alive, basically."

Dissatisfied MAGA pundit calls out Mitch McConnell on CNN after latest proof-of-life photo

A former Republican congressional staffer called out Sen. Mitch McConnell's lack of transparency as his mysterious absence stretches into its sixth week.The 84-year-old senator's office issued a second photo Monday showing McConnell seated in a hospital bed alongside his wife, Elaine Chao, and explaining that he was undergoing "intense physical therapy" on a doctor's orders, but Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear expressed doubts about his claims and demanded more clarity."The attending physician’s written statement does not discuss your actual condition, including whether you can speak, reason, or carry out your duties as a senator," the governor stated in a letter. "I understand anyone’s desire for privacy, but when you run for office and serve as one of a state’s two US senators, you willingly abdicate much of your personal privacy."“As Governor of the state you serve, I am calling on you to directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign,” Beshear added.T.W. Arrighi, a former communications aide to the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), agreed that McConnell owed his constituents a stronger explanation for his continued absence from the U.S. Senate."I think every American wants more transparency," Arrighi told "CNN This Morning." "Even the Republicans of Kentucky would like it. I'm not saying Mitch McConnell is lying or being deceitful. I just think he should be more forthright and put out a quick video.""But look, let's put this in perspective," Arrighi added. "He's not running again, which was a good thing. I wish we had all old politicians say they aren't running again. He's not running again. We have three or four weeks, maybe, of the Senate calendar left. Everything else is operating, and they have a Democratic governor in Kentucky, so resigning is out of the option, out of the playbook." - YouTube youtu.be

'Must be grave': Ominous letter demanding answers on McConnell's health alarms analyst

A Democratic strategist was alarmed on Monday by an ominous letter from Kentucky Democratic Gov. Andy Beshear demanding answers about Sen. Mitch McConnell's (R-KY) health. Paul Begala, former chief strategist for the Clinton administration, told CNN's Boris Sanchez on "The Source" that Beshear's letter seemed to signal that something is seriously wrong with McConnell. The senator has been hospitalized for more than six weeks after suffering a fall and then contracting pneumonia, according to his office. On Monday, McConnell's aides released another photo of the Congressman with his wife, Elaine Chao, which only served to increase speculation about his health. "I am addressing this letter to Senator McConnell under the assumption that he is capable of responding verbally, and not incapacitated by means of consciousness or cognition," Beshear's letter reads in part. Begala claimed that the letter shows something "very grave" may have happened to McConnell. "Andy Beshear is like one of the nicest, kindest people I've ever met in this business," Begala said. "He's not a horrible flamethrower like me. He's actually a really decent, kind person. So, for him to be saying that, it must be very, very grave." True to form, Begala also took a moment to jab McConnell over his health care voting record. "I will also note, I'm very glad Senator McConnell has good health care taxpayers pay for it. He opposes that health care for those same taxpayers," he noted. "I'm glad he has medical leave. He opposes that for taxpayers. It's the only job in the world where the hired help gets better benefits than the owners."
