Bruising and skin discoloration provoked continuing concern Thursday for Sen. Mitch McConnell’s health, but he dismissed questions.
An Associated Press photographer captured a photo of the Senate majority leader on Tuesday, which showed his hands badly bruised and discolored with a small bandage on each one. Another photo captured by the AP showed bruising further up his arm, and photos from Getty Images showed bruising on his face and lips.
McConnell’s response when asked if he had any health issues the public didn’t know about: “Of course not.”
