Republican Sen. Ron Johnson (Wis.) on Monday cast doubt on the recency of a photo Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) shared of himself in the hospital alongside his wife.
"I've just heard from some other sources that was an older photo. So I really don't know," Johnson told host Eric Bolling on Real America's Voice's "Bolling!"
The Wisconsin Republican noted he has not spoken to McConnell, hopes he can recover and will "come back and vote" in line with President Trump's agenda.
Later Monday, Johnson backtracked from his remarks to Bolling. The Wisconsin senator wrote on the social platform X, "Beware of clickbait — watch the full clip. Most importantly, I hope SenMcConnell makes a full recovery and returns to the Senate."
On Sunday, McConnell provided an update on his condition after weeks of silence in the wake of his hospitalization on June 14. The 84-year-old senator, who is retiring, said he went to the hospital after a fall left him "briefly unconscious."
