The daughter of Senator Mitch McConnell has deleted her X account amid widespread speculation over the former Senate majority leader’s health, following a sudden June hospitalization.

It is unclear when or why Porter McConnell, a progressive-leaning political activist who previously directed the Take On Wall Street campaign, deleted her account. The Independent has contacted Porter McConnell for comment.

Porter McConnell is one of three daughters the senator had with his first wife, Sherrill Redmon. She frequently posted criticism of the Republican Party on the now-deactivated account, TMZ noted.

Her social media activity comes as McConnell was found unconscious on June 14 and received CPR after suffering an apparent heart attack in his Washington, D.C., home, according to emergency records obtained by a variety of news outlets.

1. He has Offspring?

oh god...

oh well, hope his kids are handling this better than his wife and fellow politicians.

2. His wife isn't "handling it" at all

She's been in China since 3 days after the "incident". What does that say about his status?

3. It says she hates his guts as much as we do.

6. She's...

Gone abroad so she can't be around to pull the plug until it's too late to appoint a replacement. She'll come back the day after that, just watch this space.

9. She's settling his backdoor business deals there

rePUKES are so dishonest and traitorous. Nasty to the core.

4. Porter knows her Dad is in the Top 50 most evil Americans to have ever lived list.

Top 10 if you only include those who have done the most Damage to America.

8. Brain-dead and ventilator

I'm sure of it. He can eff off anyway. POS

10. The total news blackout...

...makes me think he's on life support. He probably has been for a while. The GOP would rather keep Evil Mitch technically alive than risk Massie or possibly a Dem taking over his seat.

14. Did anyone check the replies to her twitter account?

I expect they are particularly nasty, on that pile-of-shit platform. She may well be thinking "what's the point of an account to get shit on, when I can stick to BlueSky etc.?"
