Welp, guess he’s not dead after all.

      Only video I saw was him in a car and it was very clear he didn’t even know where he was. Guy is legitimately not there and it’s insane they’re dragging him around for this.

      He’s a pos but it’s still elder abuse in the end.

      I saw a candid video of him in the wheelchair on the senate floor, talking to people

      He looks more decrepit than usual, but I had no reason to think the video wasn’t real

          No, you just see him talking to some people inside the senate. Its sketch that the reports of what he said are only second hand accounts. Still reported by Associated Press, so hard to get more credible… overall suss still.

          It’s inexplicable why they are currently and formerly so secretive about his condition. Makes no sense for any good faith reasoning.

              Yeah, if he was actually able to say any of those lines, it’s probably heavily rehearsed. There’s 2-3 direct snippets associated to him and that’s it. Took no questions.
