Looks like Senator Mitch McConnell isn’t the only one glitching out these days! This time from a Democrat Party Rep, we have another perfect example of why we ned term limits.
Rep. John Larson experienced some sort of medical episode that caused him to just freeze mid-speech while having a full on meltdown over the GOP and Elon Musk……and the left tries to say Trump Derangement Syndrome isn’t real.
As the 76-year-old delivered a scathing rant over what he claims is overreach for Musk to have access to Social Security data, he froze for nearly a minute, stumbling over his words.
“Now [Trump] is saying he’s not even accountable to the courts because he and the billionaire class have gotten together and said, ‘Don’t worry, no one on the Republican side in the House and Senate who control both the House and Senate is going to speak up,’” Larson said before abruptly freezing.
After several seconds of blankly staring, he finally strained out, “and challenge us,” before another prolonged pause.
By the time his consciousness came back, his time on the floor had expired.

After the dd episode, the representative’s office released a statement downplaying the glitch. They claim that it was just an adverse reaction to some new medication, adding that Larson sough consultation with the attending physician in Congress afterwards.
“Congressman Larson appreciates the well wishes from everyone who has reached out. This afternoon, he had what was likely an adverse reaction to a new medication and is having tests administered by the House Attending Physician out of an abundance of caution,” Larson’s office stated. “He later participated in multiple meetings in his office and was alert and engaged. The Congressman remains in touch with his staff and in good spirits.”
