Is this why Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell is freezing up in the middle of public appearances?

Two different doctors advanced a similar theory as to why McConnell has suddenly become silent and unresponsive during two different news conferences.

In a Wednesday Interview, Dr. Marc Siegel, a physician affiliated with New York University’s Langone Medical Center, suggested on Fox News that the Republican Senate leader was suffering from Parkinson’s disease.

— would be Parkinson’s disease.”

“That, in its later stages, can give you a freeze,” Siegel said of McConnell’s behavior, pointing out that the senator’s staffers hadn’t reacted with alarm bells.

McConnell became unresponsive and frozen for the second time in two months when speaking at a public function in Covington, Kentucky on Wednesday.

The event followed an incident in which McConnell became similarly unresponsive in the halls of the Capitol.

Neurosurgeon Dr. Sanjay Gupta had a similar theory for McConnell’s difficulties in a CNNInterview, though he left open a range of different possibilities.

“There’s a lot of things that can sort of come to mind.”

Gupta also pointed out that McConnell’s aides hadn’t reacted with surprise, suggesting that the problems were “ongoing.”

“Someone who has a Parkinsonian-like condition, for example, whose medications are wearing off, or something like that.”

“That’s something that could sort of explain this behavior.”

Parkinson’s disease is a serious degenerative disease in which patients lose control over their nervous system, according to the Mayo Clinic.

A McConnell spokesperson has indicated that the 81-year old senator merely felt lightheaded, although he planned on consulting with a physician following the incident.
