Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear has a message for Sen. Mitch McConnell: Either the state’s senior senator should explain his long absence from the Senate and give details about his health, or resign.
Beshear sent a new, blunt letter on Monday to McConnell, the former Senate majority leader who hasn’t been seen in public for 43 days since being hospitalized, suggesting that the Democratic governor doubts that the photos — another of which was released earlier Monday — show an honest portrayal of the senator’s health. “As Governor of the state you serve, I am calling on you to directly and verbally address the people of Kentucky and provide proof of your capacity to serve, or resign,” Beshear wrote.
