“It’s troubling,” Ted Cruz says after Mitch McConnell’s second freeze

---

WASHINGTON — U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz said he was disturbed by Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell suddenly freezing during an event Wednesday that raised questions about the 81-year-old Republican leader’s health and reopened chatter about his succession.

“It’s troubling. It’s frightening,” Cruz, R-Texas, said Wednesday during a Newsmax interview. “Age is something that all of us experience, and it’s coming for all of us.”
