Kentucky Congressman Thomas Massie has sent political social media into a frenzy with a tongue-in-cheek post claiming he engaged in a lengthy phone conversation with an ailing Mitch McConnell. The congressman's satirical account, which claimed the veteran senator had suddenly pivoted to a 'non-interventionist' platform, has served as a sharp critique of the Republican establishment while highlighting the ongoing mystery surrounding the Senate leader's health.
The post, which racked up thousands of interactions on X, claimed Massie had spent 20 minutes on the line with the 84-year-old senator. 'I spoke to McConnell for about 20 minutes this morning,' the Congressman wrote. 'He said we should end the war with Iran, quit giving aid to Israel, stop spying on Americans without a warrant, and he's really sorry about how my primary turned out.'
