A viral February 2026 video shows retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), 84, being pushed in a wheelchair at the Capitol, blankly staring and unresponsive as a reporter questions why he blocked the SAVE America Act) and Rep. Tim Burchett’s claims that staffers run his office.
Critics, labeled it elder abuse, demand term limits, and label McConnell a “RINO” disgrace. Kentucky Senate candidate Nate Morris echoed this, calling McConnell an “absolute disgrace” embodying the “swamp,” enriching himself to over $100M after 40+ pre-internet years in office.
In any case, a viral post that included the insane video read, “A prime example as to why term limits are needed for Congress.” As the RINO was pushed around in his wheelchair, a reporter asked him several questions, none of which were answered.
“McConnell, can you give us some information on why you blocked the Save Act, or any information on your thoughts on what rep Tim Burchett said about staffers running your office? Any comments, sir?” the reporter asked.
Reacting to the footage, another noted, “So what is worse, dragging around a corpse by staff members to do your bidding or using an autopen by staff members to fake documents from another? Elder abuse in either case and abusing the Americans trust either way!”
Calling out the RINO, as well as another hated figure, one post read, “Mitch McConnell and Amy comey barrett of the biggest two-faced sell out that Ever disgrace the Republican. These guys need to be thrown out office, Censured and disbarred. Both are a disgrace to the office.”

As we reported at the American Triubne, Kentucky Senate candidate Nate Morris blasted retiring Sen. Mitch McConnell as an “absolute disgrace,” called him an “epitomizes the worst of government” and “the swamp,” criticized his 40+ years in office predating the internet, and accused him of enriching himself from near-penniless to over $100M, urging career politicians be “thrown out” for outsiders.
“I can’t speak for him, but what I will tell you — it’s an absolute disgrace. If something like that happened in the private sector, they’d make you retire. And remember, during the 2024 election, even in the 2020 election, we were criticizing Joe Biden for the exact same thing,” pointed out the principled Republican.
Building on this point, he added, “When I mentioned this — I mentioned this at our fancy farm picnic back in August — I got all this flack from McConnell’s people, but you know, it’s the same thing we said about Joe Biden. It’s no different. He’s been in there for over 40 years.”
Asking an important question, the Kentucky Republican continued, “I mean, think about that — he came into office before the internet was created. I mean, what do you possibly know about what’s going on in our world today?”
“I just think he epitomizes the worst of government, the worst of Washington, DC, the worst of the swamp, and why career politicians have got to be thrown out of office, and why we need outsiders and business people,” Morris stated.
Wrapping up his comments, he noted, “You know, he reports over $100 million — this is a guy who didn’t have two nickels to rub together when he came into government, and so I think that’s exactly what’s wrong with our system.”
