- Laura Loomer Tears Into Mitch McConnell’s Hospital Photo Put Out by ‘Liarsâ€...
(Chris Szagola | AP) MAGA activist Laura Loomer doubled down on her skepticism about Senator Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) health status on Sunday, claiming the Republican’s photo update from hospital is “such bullsh*t” and put out by “liars” on his staff. On Sunday, McConnell’s office released a photograph showing the senator in a hospital bed alongside his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. Accompanying the image was a lengthy statement in which McConnell reassured Kentuckians that he was recovering, saying he had been hospitalized after he was found “briefly unconscious” and had also been treated for a “mild” case of pneumonia. Loomer lashed out on X, calling the post “bullsh*t” and claiming that the newspaper McConnell was holding looked “AI generated”: Why does the text on the newspaper McConnell’s staff claim he’s holding look AI generated? The text is blurry and the tag on his shirt is blurred. Also, if he’s in the hospital, why is there no IV connected to him to monitor his health? This is such bullshit. His staff are… pic.twitter.com/Zy45jeIefB — Laura Loomer (@LauraLoomer) July 12, 2026 The MAGA activist’s questioning of the post was met with immediate pushback online, including a community note on the post confirming the newspaper in the senator’s hand was “today’s Washington Post.” Other users responded by posting images of their own copies of The Post to further prove the newspaper appeared authentic. Here is the “AI-generated” newspaper in question. It was delivered to my house this morning. It’s called the Sunday sports section of the Washington Post. It’s identical to the newspaper McConnell is holding. https://t.co/93Q5VqpsBg pic.twitter.com/WenTB75ZpL — Paul Farhi (@farhip) July 13, 2026 Still, the confusion was further added when X’s AI bot Grok was asked by users if the image was real. At first, Grok replied: “Yes, it’s AI-generated and fake.” (Screengrab via X) The bot appeared to be referring to an earlier fake image showing McConnell hooked up to life-support equipment. Grok later corrected its response, clarifying that McConnell’s image alongside his wife was “not reported as AI-generated.” Grok told me it wasn't AI generated as well. pic.twitter.com/u9kpoDqgAy — Suebee Like the Honey (@LikeSuebee) July 12, 2026 Loomer, however, continued to maintain that the update seemed falsified: Mitch McConnell’s staff appear to have used an AI altered photo.

Jimmy Kimmel briefly emerged from his summer hiatus to mock Senator Mitch McConnell’s (R-KY) hospital-bed “proof of life” photo with a parody, assuring fans that he too was “feeling great.” The late-night host, who has been off the air since beginning his annual summer break on June 18, took to Instagram on Sunday after McConnell shared his first public update since he was hospitalized on June 14. The longtime GOP senator had posted a photograph of himself in a hospital bed holding a newspaper, with his wife, former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao, sitting beside him. The image appeared intended to reassure constituents following weeks of growing concern and speculation online about his health after his hospitalization, including claims pushed online by MAGA activist Laura Loomer that he was “brain dead.” MCCONNELL releases a photo – and statement. “To my fellow Kentuckians – “When you elected me to a seventh term and made me our Commonwealth’s longest serving Senator, you did so trusting that I’d keep showing up to fight for you every day. And over the past several weeks,… pic.twitter.com/YTzTXDhEgu — Jake Sherman (@JakeSherman) July 12, 2026 Kimmel quickly turned the moment into a joke. “For those who’ve been asking, I’m feeling great,” the late-night host wrote in a social media post featuring an edited version of McConnell’s hospital photograph, replacing the senator’s face with his own. (Screengrab via Instagram) The comedian’s post comes as he is on summer vacation, not set to return until after Labor Day, with a lineup of guest hosts taking the helm at Jimmy Kimmel Live! Despite his absence from TV, Kimmel has been active on social media, sharing updates with fans. McConnell’s disappearance from public view in the weeks following his hospitalization had prompted calls from some for an update on the senator’s condition before Sunday’s photo was released, despite reassurances from top Republicans who said they had spoken to him by phone. The senator included a lengthy statement with the image, assuring Kentuckians he was recovering and emphasizing that, after being found “briefly unconscious,” he was “taken to the hospital,” where he “also had to deal with a mild case of pneumonia.”The post Jimmy Kimmel Pops Up From Vacation to Mock Mitch McConnell With Hospital Pic Parody first appeared on Mediaite.

Francis Chung/POLITICO via AP Images The late Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) reportedly dismissed advice to seek immediate medical attention after admitting he felt unwell in the hours before his sudden death on Saturday, joking that he “can’t die now” and citing his ambition to normalize Saudi-Israeli relations. The South Carolina Republican told a confidant he would wait until Sunday morning to seek treatment despite feeling unwell after a series of high-level calls on foreign policy, according to an account from Axios reporter Barak Ravid. Graham had spent the final weeks of his life laying the groundwork for a renewed diplomatic push aimed at brokering normalization between Saudi Arabia and Israel, according to Ravid. On Saturday evening, Graham spoke by phone with Trump, briefing the president on his recent trip to Ukraine and urging action on a Russia sanctions bill awaiting a Senate vote. During the call, Trump told Graham he was preparing fresh military strikes against Iran following another attack on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, Ravid reported. Shortly afterward, Graham reportedly told another person he was feeling unwell. When urged to seek medical attention immediately, the senator declined, saying he would wait until after his scheduled appearance on NBC’s Meet the Press the next morning. Axios reported that Graham joked, “I can’t die now. I still need to do the Russia sanctions, get Iran sorted out and do Israeli-Saudi normalization.” He died several hours later from an “aortic dissection due to arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease.” Graham had viewed Saudi-Israel normalization as the cornerstone of a broader postwar Middle East settlement following the conflict with Iran, according to Ravid. He believed weakening Iranian influence had created a rare opening for Trump to broker a historic agreement and had discussed the effort with the president, as well as senior advisers Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff. Graham had also held discussions with Israeli and Saudi officials, Ravid reported, and was planning a trip to both countries in the coming weeks to gauge support for restarting negotiations.The post Lindsey Graham Brushed Off Urgent Medical Advice With Morbid Joke Hours Before His Death: Axios first appeared on Mediaite.

- Rick Wilson Touts ‘Karmic Comfort’ In Lindsey Graham Dying After He ‘Sold ...
The Lincoln Project co-founder Rick Wilson said there is “karmic comfort” in Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) dying after he “sold his soul” pushing President Donald Trump to launch the Iran war. Wilson made the comment on MS NOW analyst Molly Jong-Fast’s Fast Politics podcast on Sunday, one day after Graham died. “Lindsey Graham sold his soul to Donald Trump to get a war with Iran and died knowing how badly Donald Trump had f*cked it up,” Wilson said. “For people looking for some like, karmic comfort in this, there you go.” Graham was one of the president’s closest allies in Congress and was a big supporter of Operation Epic Fury. He urged the president to attack Iran before the war was launched in February — and even had “Make Iran Great Again” hats made in an obvious nod to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” rallying cry. Graham recently predicted Trump would “obliterate” Iran if the country’s theocratic leaders dared mess with the Strait of Hormuz. That prediction may now be put to the test, after Iran attacked a ship on Saturday and the U.S. launched multiple strikes in response. Trump honored Graham in a post on Truth Social early on Sunday morning. “Senator Lindsey Graham, one of the greatest people and Senators I have ever known, is dead!” Trump posted. “He was always working, and was a true American Patriot. Lindsey will be greatly missed!!!” The president followed that up later on Sunday by ordering all American flags to be lowered to half mast until next Saturday. A few hours later, Graham’s office released a preliminary examination saying the senator died from “Aortic Dissection due to Arteriosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease.” Wilson — who teamed up with several other “Never Trump” talking heads to launch The Lincoln Project in 2019 — said earlier in the podcast he expected to see a lot of reporters “gushing” over Graham because he was one of the “greatest sources” in Washington, D.C.
