People - Kentucky Sen. Mitch McConnell tripped and fell in a Senate building while being questioned by an activist on the move.On Thursday, Oct. 16, a young woman reportedly representing the climate-focused Sunrise Movement approached McConnell, 83, in a hallway of the Russell Senate Office Building and introduced herself.
Walking alongside McConnell and another man who was wearing an earpiece, she asked whether the longtime Republican senator supports ICE "taking working people off the streets and kidnapping them," referring to recent immigration raids in cities like Chicago and Portland that have led to violent arrests and reports of false detainments.
McConnell, who was walking with a noticeably stiff gait and relying on the man beside him for stability, stumbled to the ground toward the end of the woman's question and landed on his left side.
Two people, including a Capitol Police officer standing nearby, helped the senator up. Noticing that he was still being filmed, McConnell waved at the camera and uttered a noise before he was guided away.
